Ahmed Zeggari, Fella Hachouf · International Journal of Computer Vision and Image Processing · 2018
This article describes a trademark retrieval system using autocorrelogram features. The proposed algorithm deals with the trademarks of a same company having different shapes in different languages. Textual and mixed logos types are considered in this study, in which the text area is located based on an edge detection algorithm and connected components merging strategy to form the bounding box enclosing the textual parts of a logo. Color autocorrelogram is applied on the extracted and quantified text area. An adapted evaluation metric is proposed to measure the performance of the proposed technique. Results show a good retrieval rate on real trademark images.
