A fast and efficient image retrieval system based on color and texture features

We propose a fast and efficient image retrieval system based on color and texture features. The color features are represented by color histograms and texture features are represented by block difference of inverse probabilities (BDIP) and block variation of local correlation coefficients (BVLC). It is observed that color features in combination with the texture features derived on the brightness component provides approximately similar results when color features are combined with the texture features using all three components of color, but with much less processing time. An analysis of various distance measures reveals that the square-chord distance measure outperforms the other prominent distance measures for the proposed method. Detailed experimental analysis is carried out using precision and recall on four datasets: Corel-5K, Corel-10K, UKbench and Holidays. The time analysis is also performed to compare processing speeds of the proposed method with the existing similar best methods.

Local maximum edge binary patterns: A new descriptor for image retrieval and object tracking

A new algorithm meant for content based image retrieval (CBIR) and object tracking applications is presented in this paper. The local region of image is represented by local maximum edge binary patterns (LMEBP), which are evaluated by taking into consideration the magnitude of local difference between the center pixel and its neighbors. This LMEBP differs from the existing LBP in a manner that it extracts the information based on distribution of edges in an image. Further, the effectiveness of our algorithm is confirmed by combining it with Gabor transform. Four experiments have been carried out for proving the worth of our algorithm. Out of which three are meant for CBIR and one for object tracking. It is further mentioned that the database considered for first three experiments are Brodatz texture database (DB1), MIT VisTex database (DB2), rotated Brodatz database (DB3) and the fourth contains three observations. The results after being investigated show a significant improvement in terms of their evaluation measures as compared to LBP and other existing transform domain techniques.     

Massive-scale image retrieval based on deep visual feature representation

This paper proposes an image retrieval algorithm towards massive-scale multimedia data. In order to be consistent with human visual system, we first design a color attention function to describe the important of different image patches. Subsequently, we combine color and texture to construct candidate regions, which will be fed into a deep neural network (DNN) for deep representation extraction. Then, we design a similarity function to calculate the distance among different images, where top-ranking images are considered as the required images. Experimental results show the effectiveness and robustness of our proposed method.     

A privacy-preserving content-based image retrieval method in cloud environment

In order to protect data privacy, image with sensitive or private information needs to be encrypted before being outsourced to a cloud service provider. However, this causes difficulties in image retrieval and data management. A privacy-preserving content-based image retrieval method based on orthogonal decomposition is proposed in the paper. The image is divided into two different components, for which encryption and feature extraction are executed separately. As a result, cloud server can extract features from an encrypted image directly and compare them with the features of the queried images, so that users can thus obtain the image. Different from other methods, the proposed method has no special requirements to encryption algorithms, which makes it more universal and can be applied in different scenarios. Experimental results prove that the proposed method can achieve better security and better retrieval performance.

Content-based image retrieval using local visual attention feature

Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) has been an active research topic in the last decade. As one of the promising approaches, salient point based image retrieval has attracted many researchers. However, the related work is usually very time consuming, and some salient points always may not represent the most interesting subset of points for image indexing. Based on fast and performant salient point detector, and the salient point expansion, a novel content-based image retrieval using local visual attention feature is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the salient image points are extracted by using the fast and performant SURF (Speeded-Up Robust Features) detector. Then, the visually significant image points around salient points can be obtained according to the salient point expansion. Finally, the local visual attention feature of visually significant image points, including the weighted color histogram and spatial distribution entropy, are extracted, and the similarity between color images is computed by using the local visual attention feature. Experimental results, including comparisons with the state-of-the-art retrieval systems, demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposal.

MRI and CT image indexing and retrieval using local mesh peak valley edge patterns

In this paper, a new pattern based feature, local mesh peak valley edge pattern (LMePVEP) is proposed for biomedical image indexing and retrieval. The standard LBP extracts the gray scale relationship between the center pixel and its surrounding neighbors in an image. Whereas the proposed method extracts the gray scale relationship among the neighbors for a given center pixel in an image. The relations among the neighbors are peak/valley edges which are obtained by performing the first-order derivative. The performance of the proposed method (LMePVEP) is tested by conducting two experiments on two benchmark biomedical databases. Further, it is mentioned that the databases used for experiments are OASIS−MRI database which is the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) database and VIA/I–ELCAP-CT database which includes region of interest computer tomography (CT) images. The results after being investigated show a significant improvement in terms average retrieval precision (ARP) and average retrieval rate (ARR) as compared to LBP and LBP variant features.

Then, based on the above processing, Radar Remote Sensing Image Retrieval Algorithm is acquired; finally, the plurality of statistic of the matrix is recorded as a feature vector describing the radar image, and the image is retrieved according to the feature vector of the radar image. Through a large number of experiments, Radar Remote Sensing Image Retrieval algorithm can greatly reduce the retrieval time, and it also has a good retrieval effect for images with rich texture.

Research on image feature extraction and retrieval algorithms based on convolutional neural network

With the rapid development of mobile Internet and digital technology, people are more and more keen to share pictures on social networks, and online pictures have exploded. How to retrieve similar images from large-scale images has always been a hot issue in the field of image retrieval, and the selection of image features largely affects the performance of image retrieval. The Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), which contains more hidden layers, has more complex network structure and stronger ability of feature learning and expression compared with traditional feature extraction methods. By analyzing the disadvantage that global CNN features cannot effectively describe local details when they act on image retrieval tasks, a strategy of aggregating low-level CNN feature maps to generate local features is proposed. The high-level features of CNN model pay more attention to semantic information, but the low-level features pay more attention to local details. Using the increasingly abstract characteristics of CNN model from low to high. This paper presents a probabilistic semantic retrieval algorithm, proposes a probabilistic semantic hash retrieval method based on CNN, and designs a new end-to-end supervised learning framework, which can simultaneously learn semantic features and hash features to achieve fast image retrieval. Using convolution network, the error rate is reduced to 14.41% in this test set. In three open image libraries, namely Oxford, Holidays and ImageNet, the performance of traditional SIFT-based retrieval algorithms and other CNN-based image retrieval algorithms in tasks are compared and analyzed. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is superior to other contrast algorithms in terms of comprehensive retrieval effect and retrieval time.
