Overview
Shape Analysis and Retrieval of Multimedia Objects provides a comprehensive survey of the most advanced and powerful shape retrieval techniques used in practice today. In addition, this monograph addresses key methodological issues for evaluation of the shape retrieval methods.Shape Analysis and Retrieval of Multimedia Objects is designed to meet the needs of practitioners and researchers in industry, and graduate-level students in Computer Science.
Synopsis
Safar (computer engineering, Kuwait U., Kuwait) and Shahabi (computer science, U. of Southern California), who write for practitioners, researchers, and graduate students, describe the current advanced techniques and methods for shape retrieval and computer vision for use in multimedia applications. Topics include boundary based methods for shape representation and retrieval, the use of multidimensional index structures for shape retrieval, similarity and spatial queries, and MBC-based shape retrieval methods.
