From Pixels to Semantic Spaces: Advances in Content-Based Image Retrieval
Nuno M. Vasconcelos · Computer · 2007

UCSD's Statistical Visual Computing Laboratory has developed effective techniques for each paradigm that equate retrieval with classification and strive for minimum-probability-of-error optimality.
