为了提高多特征融合图像检索的效果,本文提出了一种基于分块颜色直方图和GWLBP的图像检索算法。算法采用K-means均值聚类对RGB颜色空间进行颜色聚类,再将4×4均匀分块图像分成9个子块,提取每个子块的颜色体积直方图,并赋予不同权值计算颜色特征;利用Gabor滤波器组对输入图像进行不同分辨率和方向滤波,然后将不同方向上局部滤波器输出结果与全局滤波器输出结果的平均值进行比较,并进行二值化,据此提出3种不同的GWLBP算子来提取纹理特征。最后对图像的颜色和纹理特征高斯归一化,采用加权平均来融合颜色和纹理的特征距离。通过实验仿真可知,与其他3种算法相比,本算法对正常和有旋转倾向的图像都有较高的查全率和查准率。

Zernike moments and LDP-weighted patches for content-based image retrieval

This paper proposes a new algorithm using global and local features for content-based image retrieval. Global features are extracted using the magnitude of Zernike moments (ZMs). Local features are obtained through local directional pattern (LDP). Generally, LDP is used to extract texture-based features from an image. In this paper, LDP is used to encode both texture and shape information of an image to represent more meaningful features. To encode texture-based features, original image is used to compute the LDP features. To extract shape information from an image, dual-tree complex wavelet transform (DT-CWT) is applied on image which generates six directional wavelets. These six directional wavelets are superimposed in order to obtain shape-encoded image. LDP is then applied on this wavelet-based shape-encoded image. Further, to enhance retrieval accuracy, LDP features are extracted from patches of both original and shape-encoded images. These patches are assigned with weights based on average discrimination capability of features in a patch. Experiments are performed using three different standard databases with various variations such as pose, distortion, partial occlusion and complex structure. The proposed technique achieves 96.4 and 98.76 % retrieval accuracy at a recall of 50 %, for Kimia-99 and COIL-100 databases, respectively. For MPEG-7 CE-2 shape database, retrieval accuracy of 61.93 % is achieved in terms of average Bull’s eye performance (BEP). The proposed technique is also tested on Springer medical image database to explore its scope in other areas, wherein it attains average BEP of 69.68 % in comparison with 61.52 % with ZMs. It is observed that the proposed technique outperforms other well-known existing methods of image retrieval.

Content-based image retrieval using a fusion of global and local features

Color, texture, and shape act as important information for images in human recognition. For content-based image retrieval, many studies have combined color, texture, and shape features to improve the retrieval performance. However, there have not been many powerful methods for combining all color, texture, and shape features. This study proposes a content-based image retrieval method that uses the combined local and global features of color, texture, and shape. The color features are extracted from the color autocorrelogram; the texture features are extracted from the magnitude of a complete local binary pattern and the Gabor local correlation revealing local image characteristics; and the shape features are extracted from singular value decomposition that reflects global image characteristics. In this work, an experiment is performed to compare the proposed method with those that use our partial features and some existing techniques. The results show an average precision that is 19.60% higher than those of existing methods and 9.09% higher than those of recent ones. In conclusion, our proposed method is superior over other methods in terms of retrieval performance.

Framework for Content‐Based Image Identification with Standardized Multiview Features

Information identification with image data by means of low‐level visual features has evolved as a challenging research domain. Conventional text‐based mapping of image data has been gradually replaced by content‐based techniques of image identification. Feature extraction from image content plays a crucial role in facilitating content‐based detection processes. In this paper, the authors have proposed four different techniques for multiview feature extraction from images. The efficiency of extracted feature vectors for content‐based image classification and retrieval is evaluated by means of fusion‐based and data standardization–based techniques. It is observed that the latter surpasses the former. The proposed methods outclass state‐of‐the‐art techniques for content‐based image identification and show an average increase in precision of 17.71% and 22.78% for classification and retrieval, respectively. Three public datasets — Wang; Oliva and Torralba (OT‐Scene); and Corel — are used for verification purposes. The research findings are statistically validated by conducting a paired t‐test.     

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.

Research on algorithm of night vision image fusion and coloration

An new color image fusion method is presented based on dual-tree complex wavelet transform (DT-CWT) and Lαβ space for visual and infrared night image fusion. The color transfer technology is conducted to colorize the gray-scale visual image based on Lαβ space and the three component values of L, α and β can be gained. The appropriate dynamic range of gray image in Lα β space is proposed, and the reason of oversaturated colors is analyzed. The DT-CWT is applied in gray image fusion processing because of it's properties: shift invariance, directional selectivity, in order to obtaining exact position and clear image presentation. The different fusion rule is used aiming at high and low frequency components. The weighted average method is employed to low frequency part, and the high frequency parts are of selection greater local energy. The component L of colorized visual image is replaced by the gray-scale fused image. And the color fusion image is obtained by from Lα β to RGB(R: red, G: green, B:blue). The experiment results indicate that the proposed algorithm can achieve three requirements: detectability of the target, clear details and natural colors.

A framework for medical image retrieval using machine learning and statistical similarity matching techniques with relevance feedback.

A content-based image retrieval (CBIR) framework for diverse collection of medical images of different imaging modalities, anatomic regions with different orientations and biological systems is proposed. Organization of images in such a database (DB) is well defined with predefined semantic categories; hence, it can be useful for category-specific searching. The proposed framework consists of machine learning methods for image prefiltering, similarity matching using statistical distance measures, and a relevance feedback (RF) scheme. To narrow down the semantic gap and increase the retrieval efficiency, we investigate both supervised and unsupervised learning techniques to associate low-level global image features (e.g., color, texture, and edge) in the projected PCA-based eigenspace with their high-level semantic and visual categories. Specially, we explore the use of a probabilistic multiclass support vector machine (SVM) and fuzzy c-mean (FCM) clustering for categorization and prefiltering of images to reduce the search space. A category-specific statistical similarity matching is proposed in a finer level on the prefiltered images. To incorporate a better perception subjectivity, an RF mechanism is also added to update the query parameters dynamically and adjust the proposed matching functions. Experiments are based on a ground-truth DB consisting of 5000 diverse medical images of 20 predefined categories. Analysis of results based on cross-validation (CV) accuracy and precision-recall for image categorization and retrieval is reported. It demonstrates the improvement, effectiveness, and efficiency achieved by the proposed framework.
