Week 3

The tasks for the second week include:

• Filter noise with linear or non-linear filters.

• On denoised images, detect box with overlapping text, and apply OCR to get the text. Test query system using QSD1-W2 using only text.

• Implement texture descriptors, and test them using QSD1-W2 using only texture descriptors.

• Combine descriptors (text + color, text + texture, texture + color, text + color + texture) and test the retrieval on QSD1-W3.

• Repeat the previous analysis with QSD2-W3 (remove noise, remove background, find 1 or 2 paintings and return the correspondences.

How to run

main.py <querySetPath> <backgroundRemoval> <textRemoval> <textRemovalMethod> <k> 

The querySetPath parameter indicates the location of the query set images.

The backgroundRemoval parameter indicates if background has to be removed from the query set images.

• True: background removal
• False: no background removal.

The textRemoval parameter indicates if the text has to be removed from the query set images.

• True: text removal
• False: no text removal.

The textRemovalMethod parameter indicates the method used for text detection:

• 1 : text detection based on color segmentation
• 2 : text detection based on morphology operations
• 3 : text detection based on EAST opencv neural network

The k parameter is used to indicate the number of top results that need to be saved.
