Overview

C++ Implementation (with MATLAB wrapper) of the Self-Similarity Descriptor by Ken Chatfield based on the paper Matching Local Self-Similarities across Images and Videos, by Eli Shechtman and Michal Irani at CVPR '07 with the extensions proposed in:

K. Chatfield, J. Philbin, A. Zisserman
Efficient Retrieval of Deformable Shape Classes using Local Self-Similarities
Workshop on Non-rigid Shape Analysis and Deformable Image Alignment, ICCV, 2009
