Relevance feedback in content-based image retrieval: Bayesian framework, feature subspaces, and progressive learning

Research has been devoted in the past few years to relevance feedback as an effective solution to improve performance of content-based image retrieval (CBIR). In this paper, we propose a new feedback approach with progressive learning capability combined with a novel method for the feature subspace extraction. The proposed approach is based on a Bayesian classifier and treats positive and negative feedback examples with different strategies. Positive examples are used to estimate a Gaussian distribution that represents the desired images for a given query; while the negative examples are used to modify the ranking of the retrieved candidates. In addition, feature subspace is extracted and updated during the feedback process using a principal component analysis (PCA) technique and based on user's feedback. That is, in addition to reducing the dimensionality of feature spaces, a proper subspace for each type of features is obtained in the feedback process to further improve the retrieval accuracy. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed method increases the retrieval speed, reduces the required memory and improves the retrieval accuracy significantly.     

Support Vector Machine Learning for Region‐Based Image Retrieval with Relevance Feedback

We present a relevance feedback approach based on multi‐class support vector machine (SVM) learning and cluster‐merging which can significantly improve the retrieval performance in region‐based image retrieval. Semantically relevant images may exhibit various visual characteristics and may be scattered in several classes in the feature space due to the semantic gap between low‐level features and high‐level semantics in the user's mind. To find the semantic classes through relevance feedback, the proposed method reduces the burden of completely re‐clustering the classes at iterations and classifies multiple classes. Experimental results show that the proposed method is more effective and efficient than the two‐class SVM and multi‐class relevance feedback methods.

Similarity-based online feature selection in content-based image retrieval.

Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) has been more and more important in the last decade, and the gap between high-level semantic concepts and low-level visual features hinders further performance improvement. The problem of online feature selection is critical to really bridge this gap. In this paper, we investigate online feature selection in the relevance feedback learning process to improve the retrieval performance of the region-based image retrieval system. Our contributions are mainly in three areas. 1) A novel feature selection criterion is proposed, which is based on the psychological similarity between the positive and negative training sets. 2) An effective online feature selection algorithm is implemented in a boosting manner to select the most representative features for the current query concept and combine classifiers constructed over the selected features to retrieve images. 3) To apply the proposed feature selection method in region-based image retrieval systems, we propose a novel region-based representation to describe images in a uniform feature space with real-valued fuzzy features. Our system is suitable for online relevance feedback learning in CBIR by meeting the three requirements: learning with small size training set, the intrinsic asymmetry property of training samples, and the fast response requirement. Extensive experiments, including comparisons with many state-of-the-arts, show the effectiveness of our algorithm in improving the retrieval performance and saving the processing time.     

Combining positive and negative examples in relevance feedback for content-based image retrieval

In this paper, we address some issues related to the combination of positive and negative examples to improve the efficiency of image retrieval. We start by analyzing the relevance of the negative example and how it can be interpreted and utilized to mitigate certain problems in image retrieval, such as noise, miss, the page zero problem and feature selection. Then we propose a new relevance feedback approach that uses the positive example (PE) to perform generalization and the negative example (NE) to perform specialization. In this approach, a query containing both PE and NE is processed in two steps. The first step considers the PE alone, in order to reduce the set of images participating in retrieval to a more homogeneous subset. Then, the second step considers both PE and NE and acts on the images retained in the first step. Mathematically, relevance feedback is formulated as an optimization of the intra and inter variances of the PE and NE. The proposed relevance feedback algorithm was implemented in our image retrieval system, which we tested on a collection of more than 10,000 images. The experimental results show how the NE as considered in our model can contribute in improving the relevance of the images retrieved.     

基于组合特征双重加权的相关反馈算法

为自动调节当前检索任务以使最终查询结果朝着有利于用户要求的方向发展,提出一种基于组合特征双重加权的相关反馈算法。将图像检索中初始权重的设定过程作为优化问题,利用量子遗传算法求取全局最优解,作为图像检索过程中各特征初始权重的加权值;另外,在组合特征权重动态调节的过程中,将灰色关联分析理论中的灰关联度作为特征权重的估计值,同时将反馈结果中每幅图像的评价都考虑到灰色关联分析的计算中,从而来估计不同特征在检索中的相对重要性。实验结果表明,本文算法能够达到精炼检索结果的目的,大幅提高检索全面性和检索准确度。     

流形学习和相关反馈相融合的医学图像检索

A Unified Relevance Feedback Framework for Web Image Retrieval

Although relevance feedback (RF) has been extensively studied in the content-based image retrieval community, no commercial Web image search engines support RF because of scalability, efficiency, and effectiveness issues. In this paper, we propose a unified relevance feedback framework for Web image retrieval. Our framework shows advantage over traditional RF mechanisms in the following three aspects. First, during the RF process, both textual feature and visual feature are used in a sequential way. To seamlessly combine textual feature-based RF and visual feature-based RF, a query concept-dependent fusion strategy is automatically learned. Second, the textual feature-based RF mechanism employs an effective search result clustering (SRC) algorithm to obtain salient phrases, based on which we could construct an accurate and low-dimensional textual space for the resulting Web images. Thus, we could integrate RF into Web image retrieval in a practical way. Last, a new user interface (UI) is proposed to support implicit RF. On the one hand, unlike traditional RF UI which enforces users to make explicit judgment on the results, the new UI regards the users' click-through data as implicit relevance feedback in order to release burden from the users. On the other hand, unlike traditional RF UI which hardily substitutes subsequent results for previous ones, a recommendation scheme is used to help the users better understand the feedback process and to mitigate the possible waiting caused by RF. Experimental results on a database consisting of nearly three million Web images show that the proposed framework is wieldy, scalable, and effective.
