Low Complexity Image Recognition Algorithms for Handheld devices

Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) has gained a lot of interest over the last two decades. The need to search and retrieve images from databases, based on information (“features”) extracted from the image itself, is becoming increasingly important. CBIR ...

Retrieval of occluded images using DCT phase and region merging

Pierre-André Farine, Sara Grassi Pauletti, Pradyumna Ayyalasomayajula

In this paper we present an efficient method for Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) of occluded images using DCT-phase. The proposed method utilizes a novel correlation metric for ternary-valued DCT-phase, as well as a region merging method to reconstruc ...

Rotation, Scale and Translation invariant image retrieval method based on Circular Segmentation and Color Density

Pierre-André Farine, Sara Grassi Pauletti, Pradyumna Ayyalasomayajula

We propose a fast and efficient method for Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) which uses color densities within concentric circular zones of the image, encompassing edge-pixels. This method is invariant to Rotation, Scale and Translation (RST). Small-siz ...

Implementation of an image recognition algorithm on the DM6446 DaVinci Processor

Pierre-André Farine, Sara Grassi Pauletti, Pradyumna Ayyalasomayajula

We are developing an Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC) portable device called PictoBar which is used in speech rehabilitation therapy. PictoBar recognizes barcodes and images, such as pictograms and pictures. Then it plays a sound message as ...
