Abstract
A method of image retrieval includes obtaining information identifying a plurality of selected objects and selecting one among a plurality of candidate geometrical arrangements. This method also includes, by at least one processor, and in response to the selecting, identifying at least one digital image, among a plurality of digital images, that depicts the plurality of selected objects arranged according to the selected candidate geometrical arrangement.
Claims20
A method of image retrieval, said method comprising:
- obtaining information identifying a plurality of selected objects;
- selecting one among a plurality of candidate geometrical arrangements;
- and
- by at least one processor, and in response to said selecting, identifying at least one digital image, among a plurality of digital images, that depicts the plurality of selected objects arranged according to the selected candidate geometrical arrangement.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
- obtain information identifying a plurality of selected objects;
