Abstract:
In this demonstration, we present SIMPLIcity, an image retrieval
system for picture libraries and biomedical image databases. The
system uses a wavelet-based approach for feature extraction, real-time
region segmentation, the Integrated Region Matching (IRM) metric, and
image classification methods. Tested on large-scale picture libraries
and a database of pathology images, the system has demonstrated
accurate and fast retrieval. It is also exceptionally robust to image
alterations.
