Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems and methods for scoring similarity count a number of matching visual words between a query image and a candidate image, generate an image similarity score for the query image and the candidate image based at least in part on the number of matching visual words, and generate a normalized image similarity score based at least in part on the image similarity score and one or more of a complexity of the query image and a complexity of the candidate image.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An image similarity scoring method comprising: counting a number of matching visual words between a query image and a candidate image, wherein each matching visual word is found in both the query image and the candidate image; generating an image similarity score for the query image and the candidate image based at least in part on the counted number of matching visual words; and generating a normalized image similarity score based at least in part on th…
