Efficient retrieval of deformable shape classes using local self-similarities by Chatfield, K, Philbin, J, Zisserman, A

“…In order to use the self-similarity descriptor for efficient retrieval we make three contributions: (i) we sparsify the descriptor points by locating discriminative regions within each image, thus reducing the computational expense of shape matching; (ii) we extend to enable matching despite changes in scale; and (iii) we show that vector quantizing the descriptor does not inhibit performance, thus providing the basis of a large-scale shape-based retrieval system using a bag-of-visual-words approach. …”

Contributions of age groups and causes of death to the sex gap in lifespan variation in Europe by Zazueta-Borboa, J-D, Aburto, JM, Permanyer, I, Zarulli, V, Janssen, F
