Abstract

See full text

For each image in a collection of images to be searched, the image is represented as a collection of color-edge words, where each color-edge words includes location information, shape information, and color information. The images may be indexed based on the color-edge words. A user-generated sketch is received as a query and represented as a collection of color-edge words. The collection of color-edge words representing the sketch is compared to the image index to identify search results based on a combination of location similarity, shape similarity, and color similarity.
