An effective method for color image retrieval based on texture

This paper presents an effective color image retrieval method based on texture, which uses the color co-occurrence matrix to extract the texture feature and measure the similarity of two color images. Due to the color information such as components and distribution is also taken into consideration, the feature obtained not only reflects the texture correlation but also represents the color information. As a result, our proposed method is superior to the gray-level co-occurrence matrix method and color histogram method, and it enhances the retrieval accuracy which is measured in terms of the recall and precision in the meanwhile.     

An efficient color and texture based iris image retrieval technique

This paper proposes a hierarchical approach to retrieve an iris image efficiently from for a large iris database. This approach is a combination of both iris color and texture. Iris color is used for indexing and texture is used for retrieval of iris images from the indexed iris database. An index which is determined from the iris color is used to filter out the images that are not similar to the query image in color. Further, iris texture features of those filtered images, are used to determine the images which are similar to the query image. The iris color information helps to design an efficient indexing scheme based on color indices. The color indices are computed by averaging the intensity values of all red and blue color pixels. Kd-tree is used for real-time indexing based on color indices. The iris texture features are obtained through Speeded Up Robust Features (SURF) algorithm. These features are used to get the query’s corresponding image at the top best match. The performance of the proposed indexing scheme is compared with two well known iris indexing schemes ( [Mehrotra et al., 2010] and [Puhan and Sudha, 2008]) on UPOL (Dobeš, Machala, Tichavský, & Posp?´šil, 2004) and UBIRIS (Proencca & Alexandre, 2005) iris databases. It is observed that combination of iris color and texture improves the performance of iris recognition system.     

Color image retrieval using multispectral random field texture model and color content features

This paper describes a color-texture-based image retrieval system for query of an image database to find similar images to a target image. The color-texture information is obtained via modeling with the multispectral simultaneous autoregressive (MSAR) random field model. The general color content characterized by ratios of sample color means is also used. The retrieval process involves segmenting the image into regions of uniform color texture using an unsupervised histogram clustering approach that utilizes the combination of MSAR and color features. The color-texture content, location, area and shape of the segmented regions are used to develop similarity measures describing the closeness of a query image to database images. These attributes are derived from the maximum fitting square and best fitting ellipse to each of the segmented regions. The proposed similarity measure combines all these attributes to rank the closeness of the images. The performance of the system is tested on two databases containing synthetic mosaics of natural textures and natural scenes, respectively.

Trademark image retrieval using synthetic features for describing global shape and interior structure

A trademark image retrieval (TIR) system is proposed in this work to deal with the vast number of trademark images in the trademark registration system. The proposed approach commences with the extraction of edges using the Canny edge detector, performs a shape normalisation procedure, and then extracts the global and local features. The global features capture the gross essence of the shapes while the local features describe the interior details of the trademarks. A two-component feature matching strategy is used to measure the similarity between the query and database images. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared against four other algorithms.     

Region-based image retrieval using integrated color, shape, and location index

A technique to retrieve images by region matching using a combined feature index based on color, shape, and location is presented within the framework of MPEG-7. Dominant regions within each image are indexed using integrated color, shape, and location features. Various combinations of regions are also indexed. The resulting indices and related metadata are stored in a Hash structure, where similar images tend to form clusters. The retrieval process is non-cascading and images can be retrieved based on color, shape or location and also based on a combined color–shape–location index. Results obtained show that retrieval effectiveness increases in non-cascaded region-based querying by combined index.     

基于加权颜色分层和纹理单元的图像检索算法

针对仅使用单一颜色或纹理特征并不能达到较好的图像检索效果的问题,提出了一种结合颜色和纹理特征的图像检索算法。首先,颜色微观部分利用颜色直方图,刻画每种颜色的像素占整个图像的比例;然后,宏观部分应用颜色熵和位平面熵分别对图像处理,其中位平面熵取特征较明显的前4层,并对每层的位平面熵加权;最后,根据定义的五种基本纹理结构基元中各像素点的颜色值和角度值,结合颜色特征,实现图像检索。实验结果表明,加权位平面熵和不加权位平面熵比较,在Corel-1000数据集上平均查准率和平均查全率分别提高10.01个百分点和1.2个百分点。结合颜色和纹理特征的图像检索算法与仅表现纹理特征的结构元素描述(SED)方法相比,在Corel-10000数据集上平均查准率和平均查全率分别提高4.3个百分点和2.1个百分点,有效地提高了图像检索效果。     

形状和颜色混合不变量在图像检索中的应用

多视觉特征的图像检索是当前基于内容的图像检索领域的重要方向.已有的多特征的检索主要通过线性加权的方法对特征进行组合,但这种组合方式仅实现了代数意义上的合并,未能真正利用和发掘特征间存在的相互关系,并且权重值不容易确定,检索结果易受权重值的影响.针对这一问题,提出一种形状-颜色混合不变特征的构造方法,特征提取的过程包含同时对形状、颜色信息的抽取,直接构造出能够同时对形状仿射变换和颜色对角-偏移变换具有不变性的特征,也称作形状-颜色矩不变量.首先分别在图像的2维几何空间、3维颜色空间定义形状核、颜色核,然后对形状核、颜色核的乘积进行多重积分,最后做规范化,就得到一个不变量.理论上,通过选择不同的形状核、颜色核可以推导出无穷多的不变量.实验结果表明,该方法优于加权组合特征的方法;与加权特征、局部特征相比,形状-颜色矩不变量对于同一物体不同成像条件下的近复制图像、整体属性相似的图像、大体类似的物体图像等表现出较高的检索性能及效率.     

基于色彩与形状信息特征的图像检索算法研究
