COLOR: the most basic quality of visual content. Five tools are defined to describe color.

The three first

tools represent the color distribution and the last ones describe the color relation between sequences or
group of images:

TEXTURE: also, an important quality in order to describe an image. The texture descriptors
characterize image textures or regions. They observe the region homogeneity and thehistograms of these region
borders. The set of descriptors is formed by:

Homogeneous Texture Descriptor (HTD)

Homogeneous Texture Descriptor

Yong Man Ro, Munchurl Kim, Ho Kyung Kang, B.S. Manjunath, and
inwoon

Texture Browsing Descriptor (TBD)

Efficient approach to extraction of texture browsing descriptor in MPEG-7

Hejazi, M.R. ,Ho, Y.-S.
INSPEC Accession Number: 9921873

Edge Histogram Descriptor (EHD)

Efficient Use of Local Edge Histogram Descriptor

Dong Kwon Park, Yoon Seok Jeon, Chee Sun Won

SHAPE: contains important semantic information due to humans ability to recognize objects through their shape.
However, this information can only be extracted by means of asegmentation similar to the one that the human visual
system implements. Nowadays, such a segmentation system is not available yet, however there exists a serial of
algorithms which are considered to be a good approximation. These descriptors describe regions, contours
and shapes for 2D images and for 3D volumes. The shape descriptors are the following ones:

Region-based Shape Descriptor (RSD)

A Comparative Study of Three Region Shape Descriptors
Dengsheng Zhang and Guojun Lu

Contour-based Shape Descriptor (CSD)

A Contour-based Shape Descriptor For Biomedical Image Classification and Retrieval
You D, Antani SK, Demner-Fushman D, Thoma GR

3-D Shape Descriptor (3-D SD)

Survey on 3D Shape Descriptors
Lisha Zhang ,Manuel Joao da Fonseca, Alfredo Ferreira

MOTION: defined by four different descriptors which describe motion in video sequence. Motion is related to the
objects motion in the sequence and to the camera motion. This last information is provided by the capture device,
whereas the rest is implemented by means of image processing. The descriptor set is the following one:

Motion Activity Descriptor (MAD)

Camera Motion Descriptor (CMD)

Camera Motion Histogram Descriptor

Motion Trajectory Descriptor (MTD)

Ubiquitous Multimedia Computing

Warping and Parametric Motion Descriptor (WMD and PMD)

LOCATION: elements location in the image is used to describe elements in the spatial domain. In addition,
elements can also be located in the temporal domain:

Region Locator Descriptor (RLD)

Intelligent Autonomous Systems

Sukhan Lee, Hyungsuck Cho, Kwang-Joon Yoon, Jangmyung Lee

Spatio Temporal Locator Descriptor (STLD)

Local Descriptors for Spatio-Temporal Recognition
