Opencv MPEG7 descriptors

Question

I am working on the system that compares images. MPEG-7 standard provides some descriptors which can be used for that e.g: Dominant Color, Color Layout, Edge Histogramm, Color Coherence Vectors. Do you know where i can get a source code for some of these methods?

Thx!

Answer 1

You can also use the Windows and Linux executables, or easy-to-use API based on OpenCV library, developed for BilVideo-7 video indexing and retrieval system: http://www.cs.bilkent.edu.tr/~bilmdg/bilvideo-7/Software.html.

Answer 2

The ISO distributes reference software as part of the MPEG-7 standard, and among other things it includes feature extraction code for the visual descriptors. The zip file contains another zip file called XMWin.zip, which contains the source. (Despite the "Win" name, it contains instructions for compiling on both windows and unix.)
