This measure, based on the Hausdorff distance, is carried out locally with a sliding window. That results in a dissimilarity map relative to the two images to compare. The decision is based on the comparison of the dissimilarity map histogram with reference histograms of the class of dissimilarity maps. The comparison is carried out at the different scales of a multiresolution analysis, allowing in the learning step to choose automatically the most discriminating scale in a user-defined notion of dissimilarity. As an application, a database of digitalized ancient illustrations is successfully processed by the introduced method.} }
