摘要:
A method and apparatus for deriving a representation of an image is described. The method involves processing signals corresponding to the image. A two-dimensional function of the image, such as a Trace transform (T (d, ϑ)), of the image using at least one functional T, is derived and processed using a mask function (β) to derive an intermediate representation of the image, corresponding to a one-dimensional function. In one embodiment, the mask function defines pairs of image bands of the Trace transform in the Trace domain. The representation of the image may be derived by applying existing techniques to the derived one-dimensional function.

A method for deriving a representation of an image is described. The method involves processing signals corresponding to the image. A three dimensional representation of the image is derived. The three dimensional representation of the image to used to derive the representation of the image. In one embodiment, each line of the image is defined by a first parameter (d) and a second parameter (ϑ), and a position on each line is defined by a third parameter (t), and the three dimensional representation is parameterised by the first, second and third parameters. A set of values is extracted from the three dimensional representation at a value of the first parameter, and a functional is applied along lines, or parts of lines, of the extracted set of values, the lines extending along values of the second or third parameter.
摘要:
A method for deriving a representation of an image is described. The method involves processing signals corresponding to the image. At least one region of the image that is representative of the image is identified. In one embodiment, each identified region corresponds to a feature of the image. For each identified image region, a two dimensional function of at least part of the image region is derived and processed to obtain an intermediate representation of the at least part of the image region. A representation of the image is derived from the intermediate representation of at least one of the image regions.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for deriving a representation of an image by processing signals corresponding to the image is described. The method includes deriving a two-dimensional function (T(d, θ)), such as a Trace transform of the image, and decomposing, for instance by sub-sampling, the two-dimensional function (T(d, θ)) in at least one of its two dimensions, to obtain a reduced resolution Trace transform. The decomposed, two dimensional function is then used to derive the representation of the image.

A method for encoding a descriptor of multimedia content, in which the descriptor includes a plurality of components describing respective parts of the multimedia content comprises processing the descriptor to determine a priority of the plurality of components, and encoding the components of the descriptor based on the determined priority.A method of decoding the descriptor comprises decoding a predetermined number of the plurality of components, by decoding each of the components in the priority order. Advantageously, the encoding and decoding techniques enable fast, scalable searching.
