基于内容的图象检索中的语义处理方法

基于内容的图象检索系统,其目标是最大限度地减小图象简单视觉特征与用户检索丰富语义之间的“语义鸿沟”,因此图象语义处理则成为基于内容的图象检索进一步发展的关键。为了使人们对基于内容的图象检索中的语义处理方法有个概略了解,首先从图象语义模型和图象语义提取方法这两个方面对利用语义进行图象检索的研究状况进行了总结,并将图象语义模型概括为图象语义知识、图象语义层次模型和语义抽取模型等3个主要组成部分;然后将图象语义提取方法分为用户交互、将查询请求作为语义模板、对象及其空间关系、场景和行为语义及情感语义等类别,同时对其中有代表性的方法进行了详细的分析,还指出了其局限性;最后从对象建模和识别、语义抽取规则和用户检索模型3个方面,阐明了实现图象语义处理所面临的问题,并提出了一些初步的解决思路。

图象检索系统中的相关反馈技术研究

随着网络技术和通信技术的发展,图象和视频等数字媒体信息量正以指数形式增长.为了快速有效地检索这些数字信息,一种有效方法是采用基于内容的图象检索技术,但是,由于图象特征提取与描述、相似性度量方法等难以确定,使得查询描述无法嵌入用户语义信息,为此,设计了一个具有相关反馈的图象检索系统结构,并重点论述了基于修改查询矢量、基于神经网络及基于概率分布等几类相关反馈技术的思想及基本实现过程.通过比较分析表明,这几种相关反馈策略都可用于基于内容的查询.其中,修改查询矢量的相关反馈更适应于目标搜索,修改数据库概率分布的相关反馈更适应于随意浏览,而基于人工智能学习方法的相关反馈则更适应于分类搜索.

Complementary relevance feedback-based content-based image retrieval

We propose a complementary relevance feedback-based content-based image retrieval (CBIR) system. This system exploits the synergism between short-term and long-term learning techniques to improve the retrieval performance. Specifically, we construct an adaptive semantic repository in long-term learning to store retrieval patterns of historical query sessions. We then extract high-level semantic features from the semantic repository and seamlessly integrate low-level visual features and high-level semantic features in short-term learning to effectively represent the query in a single retrieval session. The high-level semantic features are dynamically updated based on users’ query concept and therefore represent the image’s semantic concept more accurately. Our extensive experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system outperforms its seven state-of-the-art peer systems in terms of retrieval precision and storage space on a large scale imagery database.     

Image retrieval using nonlinear manifold embedding

The huge number of images on the Web gives rise to the content-based image retrieval (CBIR) as the text-based search techniques cannot cater to the needs of precisely retrieving Web images. However, CBIR comes with a fundamental flaw: the semantic gap between high-level semantic concepts and low-level visual features. Consequently, relevance feedback is introduced into CBIR to learn the subjective needs of users. However, in practical applications the limited number of user feedbacks is usually overwhelmed by the large number of dimensionalities of the visual feature space. To address this issue, a novel semi-supervised learning method for dimensionality reduction, namely kernel maximum margin projection (KMMP) is proposed in this paper based on our previous work of maximum margin projection (MMP). Unlike traditional dimensionality reduction algorithms such as principal component analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA), which only see the global Euclidean structure, KMMP is designed for discovering the local manifold structure. After projecting the images into a lower dimensional subspace, KMMP significantly improves the performance of image retrieval. The experimental results on Corel image database demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed nonlinear algorithm.     

Neighborhood preserving regression for image retrieval

In content-based image retrieval (CBIR), relevance feedback has been proven to be a powerful tool for bridging the gap between low level visual features and high level semantic concepts. Traditionally, relevance feedback driven CBIR is often considered as a supervised learning problem where the user provided feedbacks are used to learn a distance metric or classification function. However, CBIR is intrinsically a semi-supervised learning problem in which the testing samples (images in the database) are present during the learning process. Moreover, when there are no sufficient feedbacks, these methods may suffer from the overfitting problem. In this paper, we propose a novel neighborhood preserving regression algorithm which makes efficient use of both labeled and unlabeled images. By using the unlabeled images, the geometrical structure of the image space can be incorporated into the learning system through a regularizer. Specifically, from all the functions which minimize the empirical loss on the labeled images, we select the one which best preserves the local neighborhood structure of the image space. In this way, our method can obtain a regression function which respects both semantic and geometrical structures of the image database. We present experimental evidence suggesting that our algorithm is able to use unlabeled data effectively for image retrieval.     

A multiple instance learning based framework for semantic image segmentation

Most image segmentation algorithms extract regions satisfying visual uniformity criteria. Unfortunately, because of the semantic gap between low-level features and high-level semantics, such regions usually do not correspond to meaningful parts. This has motivated researchers to develop methods that, by introducing high-level knowledge into the segmentation process, can break through the performance ceiling imposed by the semantic gap. The main disadvantage of those methods is their lack of flexibility due to the assumption that such knowledge is provided in advance. In content-based image retrieval (CBIR), relevance feedback (RF) learning has been successfully applied as a technique aimed at reducing the semantic gap. Inspired by this, we present a RF-based CBIR framework that uses multiple instance learning to perform a semantically-guided context adaptation of segmentation parameters. A partial instantiation of this framework that uses mean shift-based segmentation is presented. Experiments show the effectiveness and flexibility of the proposed framework on real images.
