  • Conference paper

Part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science book series (LNISA,volume 7356)

Abstract

Recently, the intellectual property and information retrieval communities have shown increasing interest in image retrieval, which could augment the current practices of patent search. In this context, this article presents PatMedia search engine, which is capable of retrieving patent images in content-based manner. PatMedia is evaluated both by presenting results considering information retrieval metrics, as well as realistic patent search scenarios.
