Abstract

Matching a query (reference) image to an image extracted from a database containing (possibly) transformed image copies is an important retrieval task. In this paper we present a general method based on matching densities of the corresponding image feature vectors by using the Bregman distances. We consider statistical estimators for some quadratic entropy-type characteristics. In particular, the quadratic Bregman distances can be evaluated in image matching problems whenever images are modeled by random feature vectors in large image databases. Moreover, this method can be used for average case analysis for optimization of joining large databases.
