Structural image retrieval using automatic image annotation and region based inverted file

Image retrieval has lagged far behind text retrieval despite more than two decades of intensive research effort. Most of the research on image retrieval in the last two decades are on content based image retrieval or image retrieval based on low level features. Recent research in this area focuses on semantic image retrieval using automatic image annotation. Most semantic image retrieval techniques in literature, however, treat an image as a bag of features/words while ignore the structural or spatial information in the image. In this paper, we propose a structural image retrieval method based on automatic image annotation and region based inverted file. In the proposed system, regions in an image are treated the same way as keywords in a structural text document, semantic concepts are learnt from image data to label image regions as keywords and weight is assigned to each keyword according to spatial position and relationship. As the result, images are indexed and retrieved in the same way as structural document retrieval. Specifically, images are broken down to regions which are represented using colour, texture and shape features. Region features are then quantized to create visual dictionaries which are similar to monolingual dictionaries like English or Chinese dictionaries. In the next step, a semantic dictionary similar to a bilingual dictionary like the English–Chinese dictionary is learnt to mapping image regions to semantic concepts. Finally, images are then indexed and retrieved using a novel region based inverted file data structure. Results show the proposed method has significant advantage over the widely used Bayesian annotation models.     

Multiple transformation function estimation for image enhancement

Most deep learning-based image enhancement algorithms have been developed based on the image-to-image translation approach, in which enhancement processes are difficult to interpret. In this paper, we propose a novel interpretable image enhancement algorithm that estimates multiple transformation functions to describe complex color mapping. First, we develop a histogram-based multiple transformation function estimation network (HMTF-Net) to estimate multiple transformation functions by exploiting both the spatial and statistical information of the input images. Second, we estimate pixel-wise weight maps, which indicate the contribution of each transformation function at each pixel, based on the local structures of the input image and the transformed images obtained by each transformation function. Finally, we obtain the enhanced image as the weighted sum of the transformed images using the estimated weight maps. Extensive experiments confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach and demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms state-of-the-art image enhancement algorithms for different image enhancement tasks.

A blind color digital image watermarking method based on image correction and eigenvalue decomposition

With the rapid development of Internet technology, the copyright protection of color images has become more and more important. In order to fulfill this purpose, this paper designs a blind color digital image watermarking method based on image correction and eigenvalue decomposition (EVD). Firstly, all the eigenvalues of the pixel block in the color host image are obtained by EVD. Then, the sum of the absolute value of the eigenvalues is quantified by the variable quantization steps to embed the color watermark image that encrypted by affine transform and encoded by the Hamming code. If the watermarked image is processed by geometric attack, then the attacked image can be corrected by using the geometric attributes. Finally, the inverse embedding process is performed to extract the color watermark. Moreover, the advantages of the proposed method are shown as follows: (1) all Peak Signal-to-noise Ratio (PSNR) values are greater than 42 dB; (2) the average Structural Similarity Index Metric (SSIM) values are greater than 0.97; (3) the maximum embedded capacity is 0.25bpp; (4) whole running-time is less than 20 s; (5) the key space is more than 2⁴⁵⁰; (6) most Normalized Cross-correlation (NC) values are more than 0.9. Compared with the related methods, the experimental results show that the proposed method not only has better watermark invisibility and larger watermark capacity, but also has higher security and stronger robustness against geometric attacks.

Enhancing underwater image via color correction and Bi-interval contrast enhancement

Underwater captured images often suffer from color cast and low visibility due to light is scattered and absorbed while it traveling in water. In this paper, we proposed a novel method of color correction and Bi-interval contrast enhancement to improve the quality of underwater images. Firstly, a simple and effective color correction method based on sub-interval linear transformation is employed to address color distortion. Then, a Gaussian low-pass filter is applied to the L channel to decompose the low- and high-frequency components. Finally, the low- and high-frequency components are enhanced by Bi-interval histogram based on optimal equalization threshold strategy and S-shaped function to enhancement image contrast and highlight image details. Inspired by the multi-scale fusion, we employed a simple linear fusion to integrate the enhanced high- and low-frequency components. Comparison with state-of-the-art methods show that the proposed method outputs high-quality underwater images with qualitative and quantitative evaluation well.
