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.     

基于内容的图像检索方法

综述了基于内容检索技术的进展,并对其主要方法如基于颜色、形状、纹理等图像检索技术进行了论述,介绍了几个典型的基于内容的图像检索系统.通过综述指出了今后的研究方向.     

基于多尺度相位特征的图像检索方法

在基于内容的图像检索中,一个关键的问题是图像视觉内容的表述。而传统的颜色,形状和纹理特征对于图像内容的表述尚且不够完备。为进一步提高检索准确率,针对人眼视觉特性,该文提出了一种基于多尺度相位特征的图像检索方法。该方法首先采用尺度空间理论得到图像的多尺度描述,然后通过复数可调滤波(complex steerable filtering)提取图像的多尺度相位信息并利用直方图投影获取全局统计的多尺度相位特征。在通用数据库COREL 5000上的实验结果表明,该特征相对经典的颜色特征提高至少5%检索准确率,且能对之提供有效补充。     

A CBIR system based on saliency driven local image features and multi orientation texture features

In Content-based Image Retrieval (CBIR), the user provides the query image in which only a selective portion of the image carries the foremost vital information known as the object region of the image. However, the human visual system also focuses on a particular salient region of an image to instinctively understand its semantic meaning. Therefore, the human visual attention technique can be well imposed in the CBIR scheme. Inspired by these facts, we initially utilized the signature saliency map-based approach to decompose the image into its respective main object region (ObR) and non-object region (NObR). ObR possesses most of the vital image information, so block-level normalized singular value decomposition (SVD) has been used to extract salient features of the ObR. In most natural images, NObR plays a significant role in understanding the actual semantic meaning of the image. Accordingly, multi-directional texture features have been extracted from NObR using Gabor filter on different wavelengths. Since the importance of ObR and NObR features are not equal, a new homogeneity-based similarity matching approach has been devised to enhance retrieval accuracy. Finally, we have demonstrated retrieval performances using both the combined and distinct ObR and NObR features on seven standard coral, texture, object, and heterogeneous datasets. The experimental outcomes show that the proposed CBIR system has a promising retrieval efficiency and outperforms various existing systems substantially.     

一种新的图像检索方法

常规基于内容图像检索的方法是提取图像的颜色、纹理等物理特征,运用相似性度量准则从图像库中查询相似的图像。为了提高图像检索的正确率,这里提出改进的方法。具体方法是:提取图像的物理特征,并将特征作为支持向量机(SVM)的输入向量,对图像进行分类,然后利用分类结果,对检索图像进行相似性匹配,从同类图像中找出相似的图像。实验结果显示,该方法的检索结果优于常规方法。     

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.     

Texture classification and discrimination for region-based image retrieval

In RBIR, texture features are crucial in determining the class a region belongs to since they can overcome the limitations of color and shape features. Two robust approaches to model texture features are Gabor and curvelet features. Although both features are close to human visual perception, sufficient information needs to be extracted from their sub-bands for effective texture classification. Moreover, shape irregularity can be a problem since Gabor and curvelet transforms can only be applied on the regular shapes. In this paper, we propose an approach that uses both the Gabor wavelet and the curvelet transforms on the transferred regular shapes of the image regions. We also apply a fitting method to encode the sub-bands’ information in the polynomial coefficients to create a texture feature vector with the maximum power of discrimination. Experiments on texture classification task with ImageCLEF and Outex databases demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
