TLDR
In this article, a method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for building an image index and for searching and querying by image colors from a plurality of images including images from the internet or other network environment.Abstract:
A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for building an image index and for searching and querying by image colors from a plurality of images including images from the internet or other network environment. First an index is built for each of the plurality of images. A selected number of levels is identified for image processing, and an upper resolution and a lower resolution are identified for each of the selected number of levels for image processing. An image is filtered at each selected level. A sample of pixels is acquired and stored at each selected level in the index. At query time, an image color is selected. A entry of the index is acquired. The acquired entry is compared with the selected image color. A match is identified responsive to the acquired entry being near the selected image color.read more

Methods and apparatus for using a modified index to provide search results in response to an ambiguous search query
TL;DR: In this article, a system allows a user to submit an ambiguous search query and to receive potentially disambiguated search results by translating a search engine's conventional alphanumeric index into a second index that is ambiguous in the same manner as which the user's input is ambiguated, and the corresponding documents are provided to the user as search results.

High resolution color video image acquisition and compression system
TL;DR: In this article, a digital color video image digitizing and communication process comprises the steps of dividing digital data representing the overall picture information for a video image into sets of data representing shape and color information for blocks of the image with the color information including the major colors for the corresponding block and the variation in shades or hues of the colors within the block.
Patent
Method and apparatus for dynamically grouping a plurality of graphic objects
TL;DR: In this article, a cluster tree is formed for a plurality of graphic objects, based on the plurality of different types of distance measures, such as time distance and spatial distance, which are combined to form a distance metric indicting a distance between a pair of the graphic objects.
Patent
Indexed processing of color image data
TL;DR: In this paper, a method and apparatus for efficiently handling, modifying, transmitting, re-displaying and storing color images is described, which includes a processor for determining the representative color values for each pixel and a memory for storing the representative colour value for each vertex.
