Abstract

Providing content-based access to archives of historical watermarks involves a number of problems. This paper describes the development and evaluation of SHREW, a shape-matching system for watermark images based on techniques developed for the ARTISAN trademark retrieval system. Encouraging retrieval results have been obtained using tracings of watermark images, whether whole-image features or component-based measures are used for matching. Further development of the system is continuing.
