Recent advances and challenges of semantic image/video search (2009)
Shih-fu Chang, Wei-ying Ma, Arnold Smeulders
We present an overview of recent advances and major challenges in image and video search, with a specific focus on large-scale semantic concept detection and indexing. Such semantic indexing paradigm...
INVARIANCE IN CONTENT-BASED RETRIEVAL (2008)
Arnold Smeulders, Theo Gevers, Jan-mark Geusebroek, Marcel Worring
The paper discusses the role of invariance in content-based image retrieval, and discusses future directions. 1.
Depth Information by Stage Classification (2008)
Vladimir Nedović Nedovi, Arnold Smeulders, André Redert, Jan-mark Geusebroek
We identify scene categorization as the first step towards efficient and robust depth estimation from single images. To that end, we describe a limited number of typical 3D scene geometries, called...
Grammatical Inference of Dashed Lines (2008)
Dashed lines are a common, and semantically important, element in line drawings. This paper deals with the inference of a dashed lines ’ grammar, given a stream of graphical symbols. A method is...
A Visual Programming Interface for an Image Processing Environment (2007)
Dennis Koelma, Arnold Smeulders
The paper presents a visual programming interface for an image processing environment improving traditional interfaces by combining the user-friendliness of the menu & dialogue approach with...
2.2 The Semantic Gap.............................. 4 (2007)
Andrew Bagdanov, Marcel Worring, Arnold Smeulders
The document understanding problem can be informally defined as the automatic extraction of meaning from documents. In the Intelligent Sensory Information Systems group we have experimented with...

Color Invariance Jan-Mark Geusebroek, Rein van den Boomgaard and (2007)
This paper presents the measurement of colored object re ectance, under dierent, general assumptions regarding the imaging conditions. We exploit the Gaussian scale-space paradigm for color images to...
Marcel Worring, Dennis Koelma, Arnold Smeulders
Abstract. This article describes a software architecture for building image retrieval applications. Its primary objective is to facilitate application development through the use of detector based...
Active Learning Using Pre-clustering (2004)
Hieu T. Nguyen, Arnold Smeulders
The paper is concerned with two-class active learning. While the common approach for collecting data in active learning is to select samples close to the classification boundary, better performance...

Everything Gets Better All the Time, apart from the Amount of Data (2004)
Hieu T. Nguyen, Arnold Smeulders
The paper first addresses the main issues in current content-based image retrieval to conclude that the largest factors of innovations are found in the large size of the datasets, the ability to...
The PicToSeek WWW Image Search System (1999)
In this paper, we give an overview of the PicToSeek system for exploring visual information on the World Wide Web. PicToSeek automatically collects, indexes and catalogs visual information entirely...
Grammatical Inference of Dashed Lines (1999)
Dashed lines are a common element in line drawings. This paper deals with the inference of a dashed lines' grammar, given a stream of graphical symbols. A method is presented, based on...
An Axiomatic Approach To Clustering Line-segments (1995)
In this paper we consider the problem of clustering line-segments into new ones. The clustering-hierarchy gives an answer to the question what original line segments are combined into larger ones....
