Towards a Similarity between Qualitative Image Descriptions for Comparing Real Scenes

Abstract

In this paper, qualitative descriptors of shape, color, topology and location are applied to describe images of real scenes. Then, an approach for obtaining a similarity measure between two qualitative image descriptions (SimQID) is presented. As a proof-of-concept, this approach is tested on real digital images taken by a robot camera at the corridors of TI building at Universitat Jaume I. The results obtained are analyzed and a discussion is provided.
