Abstract

This demo will interactively show a system that exploits a novel user interface, running on Tablet PCs or graphic tablets, that provides query-by-sketch based image retrieval using color sketches. The system uses Angular Radial Partitioning (ARP) for the edge information in the sketches and color moments in the CIELAB space, combined with a distance metric that is robust to deviations in color as they usually need to be taken into account with user-generated color sketches.
