Efficient logo retrieval through hashing shape context descriptors

Published: 09 June 2010 Publication History

Abstract

In this paper we present a method for organizing and indexing logo digital libraries like the ones of the patent and trademark offices. We propose an efficient queried-by-example retrieval system which is able to retrieve logos by similarity from large databases of logo images. Logos are compactly described by a variant of the shape context descriptor. These descriptors are then indexed by a locality-sensitive hashing data structure aiming to perform approximate k-NN search in high dimensional spaces in sub-linear time. The experiments demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of this system on realistic datasets as the Tobacco-800 logo database.
