Abstract

The number of trademarks is growing rapidly, which makes searching among a large database of trademarks very difficult. The aim has been to develop an automated system to facilitate searching, comparing and retrieving trademarks. In this paper, such a software system is introduced. This software has three important functionalities: (1) annotation and storing trademarks it in a database, (2) text-based search and retrieval of trademarks based on annotations, and (3) content-based search and retrieval based on trademark images. In the proposed software system, we have implemented two integrated methods for retrieval of trademarks: text-based image retrieval (TBIR) and content-based image retrieval (CBIR) using several effective techniques. We introduce the techniques, functionalities and features of the software in this paper.
