| Summary | This library implements the edge histogram descriptor, which is designed to represent the spatial distribution of 5 types of edges in local image regions. It includes both extraction (rectangular and arbitrary shaped) and matching. For the non-normative matching, it includes the semi-global and global histogram matching schemes. For the video segment retrieval, this descriptor should be contained in TimeSeries DS. |
| Strong Points | Since the edge histogram descriptor consists of local edge histograms only, it is very flexible to represent some global and semi-global edge characteristic for the matching and is also compact. |
| Limitations | None Although our recommendation for the smallest image/object size is 70*70(pixels), this library also works for the images/objects smaller than that by exapnding the image/object size with a bilinear interpoaltion scheme. |
| Known Problems | None. |
| Parameters | None. |
