Unified Feature Matching Scheme

Unified Feature Matching Technology

Unified Feature Matching (UFM) is similar to our SIMPLIcity project. This demonstration is a content-based image search that looks at the different areas of the image and matches certain features of the images with others in the database to return similar images. More information on what this technology is useful for may be found on the SIMPLIcity page.

Project Heads

This research is being conducted by James Z. Wang at the Pennsylvania State University.

Project Background

This content-based image search demo system uses the Unified Feature Matching Scheme [Chen,Wang, IEEE Tran. PAMI, 2002, to appear]. This matching scheme has been developed and implemented as an alternative to the matching component of the SIMPLIcity (Semantics-sensitive Integrated Region Matching for Picture LIbraries) [Wang, Li, Wiederhold, IEEE Tran. PAMI, 2001] image retrieval system.

Demonstration

The current database has about 200,000 images from COREL CD-ROM Collection. The images are shown here for research and viewing purposes, please DO NOT download or copy the images without permission from us.

NOTE: Please enable Java Script on your browser for full retrieval capability.
NOTE: This server is a single-CPU Pentium III and is often heavily loaded with background jobs. The respond time may vary.
