Abstract
Various embodiments provide methods and systems for detecting one or more segments of an image that are related to a particular object in the image (e.g., a logo or trademark) and extracting at least one feature point, each of which is represented by one feature point descriptor, based at least upon a contour curvature of the one or more segments. The at least one feature point descriptor can be converted into one or more codewords to generate a codeword database. A discriminative codebook can then be generated based upon the codeword database and utilized to detect objects and/or features in a query image.
