Perceptual Image Indexing and Retrieval

We describe a perceptual approach to generating features for use in indexing and retrieving images from an image database. Salient regions that immediately attract the eye are large color regions that usually dominate an image. Features derived from these will allow search for images that are similar perceptually. We compute color features and Gabor color texture features on regions obtained from a multiscale representation of the image, generated by a multiband smoothing algorithm based on human psychophysical measurements of color appearance. The combined feature vector is then used for indexing all salient regions of an image. For retrieval, those images are selected that contain more similar regions to the query image by using a multipass retrieval and ranking mechanism. Matches are found using the L₂ metric. The results demonstrate that the proposed method performs very well.     

Image retrieval using both color and texture features

In order to improve the retrieval performance of images, this paper proposes an efficient approach for extracting and retrieving color images. The block diagram of our proposed approach to content-based image retrieval (CBIR) is given firstly, and then we introduce three image feature extracting arithmetic including color histogram, edge histogram and edge direction histogram, the histogram Euclidean distance, cosine distance and histogram intersection are used to measure the image level similarity. On the basis of using color and texture features separately, a new method for image retrieval using combined features is proposed. With the test for an image database including 766 general-purpose images and comparison and analysis of performance evaluation for features and similarity measures, our proposed retrieval approach demonstrates a promising performance. Experiment shows that combined features are superior to every single one of the three features in retrieval.     

PicToSeek: combining color and shape invariant features for imageretrieval

We aim at combining color and shape invariants for indexing and retrieving images. To this end, color models are proposed independent of the object geometry, object pose, and illumination. From these color models, color invariant edges are derived from which shape invariant features are computed. Computational methods are described to combine the color and shape invariants into a unified high-dimensional invariant feature set for discriminatory object retrieval. Experiments have been conducted on a database consisting of 500 images taken from multicolored man-made objects in real world scenes. From the theoretical and experimental results it is concluded that object retrieval based on composite color and shape invariant features provides excellent retrieval accuracy. Object retrieval based on color invariants provides very high retrieval accuracy whereas object retrieval based entirely on shape invariants yields poor discriminative power. Furthermore, the image retrieval scheme is highly robust to partial occlusion, object clutter and a change in the object's pose. Finally, the image retrieval scheme is integrated into the PicToSeek system on-line at http://www.wins.uva.nl/research/isis/PicToSeek/ for searching images on the World Wide Web.     

Using binarization and hashing for efficient SIFT matching

The well-known SIFT is capable of extracting distinctive features for image retrieval. However, its matching is time consuming and slows down the entire process. In the SIFT matching, the Euclidean distance is used to measure the similarity of two features, which is expensive because it involves taking square root. Moreover, the scale of the image database is usually too large to adopt linear search for image retrieval. To improve the SIFT matching, this paper proposes a fast image retrieval scheme transforms the SIFT features to binary representations. The complexity of the distance calculation is reduced to bit-wise operation and the retrieval time is greatly decreased. Moreover, the proposed scheme utilizes hashing for retrieving similar images according to the binarized features and further speeds up the retrieval process. The experiment results show the proposed scheme can retrieve images efficiently with only a little sacrifice of accuracy as compared to SIFT.     

基于重组DCT系数子带能量直方图的图像检索

An Indexing and Retrieval Mechanism for Complex Similarity Queries in Image Databases

A content-based image retrieval mechanism to support complex similarity queries is presented. The image content is defined by three kinds of features: quantifiable features describing the visual information, nonquantifiable features describing the semantic information, and keywords describing more abstract semantic information. In correspondence with these feature sets, we construct three types of indexes: visual indexes, semantic indexes, and keyword indexes. Index structures are elaborated to provide effective and efficient retrieval of images based on their contents. The underlying index structure used for all indexes is the HG-tree. In addition to the HG-tree, the signature file and hashing technique are also employed to index keywords and semantic features. The proposed indexing scheme combines and extends the HG-tree, the signature file, and the hashing scheme to support complex similarity queries. We also propose a new evaluation strategy to process the complex similarity queries. Experiments have been carried out on large image collections to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed retrieval mechanism.     

Data Organization and Retrieval on Parallel Air Channels: Performance and Energy Issues

Our interest in the global information sharing process is motivated by the advances in communication and computation technologies, the marriage between the two technologies, and the almost limitless amount of information available on the network. Within the scope of the global information sharing process, when a user's request (potentially mobile) is directed to public data, broadcasting has been suggested as an effective mechanism to access data. The effectiveness of the schemes to retrieve public data is determined by their ability to reduce the access latency and power consumed by the mobile unit. Various indexing techniques can be used to further improve the effectiveness of retrieving broadcast data.This paper addresses the application of object indexing in parallel broadcast channels. In addition, to further reduce access latency, it proposes several scheduling schemes to order accesses to the data objects on parallel channels. The proposed schemes are simulated, and analyzed. Our simulation results indicate that the employment of indexing scheme and proper scheduling of object retrieval along the parallel channels drastically reduces both the access latency and power consumption at the mobile unit.
