Poster Image Matching by Color Scheme and Layout Information

In this paper, we demonstrate a novel poster image matching system for wireless multimedia applications. We propose a method that incorporates both color and layout information of the poster image to achieve a robust performance in poster image matching. We apply both color compensation and background separation to extract a poster from an image effectively. Based on our experiment, we show that even under the effects of lighting, image rotation, scaling, and occlusion, our system can still maintain high recall and precision. We also show that our system can recognize the correct image from a database which contains several poster images with similar features. Finally, the promising performance of the poster image matching encourages us to further enrich the information retrieval for wireless environment
