In particular, this work addresses the retrieval of trademark emblems, which is key for detecting trademark infringement. A common approach that proved suitable for this task, is to encode emblems using shape descriptors and Zernike complex moments. This work focuses on their study, proposing a two-fold contribution. First, we present some modifications to Zernike complex moments and then we explore the use of different comparison metrics. Both have shown to report improvements in retrieved results and in execution time.}, identifier = {05854181}, }
