Method for automatic creation of an image database that can be interrogated by its semantic content allowing images to be searched for based on image search shapes in an ergonomic and intuitive manner

摘要

Method in which a number of segmentations (131) are made from an initial image (4) into homogenous components, based on use of different criteria for identification and isolation of several object series constituted by the segmented images (41-43) associated with geometric descriptors of boxes surrounding the objects. The results of the segmentation process are fused together to form an indexed image database.
