오늘날 많은 디지털 저장 매체의 발달로 방대한 양의 영상 데이터가 데이터베이스화 되고 있으며 이러한 데이터베이스에서 필요한 영상 데이터론 효율적으로 검색하는 방범이 중요한 문제로 대두되고 있다. 현재 영상의 색상, 형태 및 질감 특성을 사용하여 다양한 영상 검색 방법이 제안되고 있으며 본 연구에선 이중 질감을 특징으로 하는 Gator 특징 벡터를 사용하고자 한다. 즉, 영상의 인터레스트 포인트를 찾아내어 그 점에서 Gabor 웨이블릿을 이용하여 특징 벡터를 추출하고 VQ를 기반으로 한 히스토그램 인터섹션 방법을 이용하여 영상 검색을 한다. 기존의 Gator 웨이블릿 방법은 영상의 회전에 대해 잘 동작하지 못하는 단점을 가지고 있으며 이는 회전 영상에 대한 검색율 저하에 크게 작용한다. 이 문제를 해결하고자 본 논문에선 회전 불변 Gabor 필터를 이용한 영상 검색 방법을 제안하고자 한다.

As a result of remarkable developments in multimedia technology, the image database system that can efficiently retrieve image data becomes a core technology of information-oriented society. In this paper, we proposed the 2-phase Image Retrieval System considering both color and shape information as the method of image features extraction for content-based image data retrieval. At the first level, to get color information, with improving and extending the indexing method using color distribution characteristic suggested by Striker et al., i.e. the indexing method considering local color distribution characteristics, the system roughly classifies images through the improved method. At the second level, the system finally retrieves the most similar image from the image queried by the user using the shape information about the image groups classified at the first level. To extract the shape information, we use the Improved Moment Invariants (IMI) that manipulates only the pixels on the edges of objects in order to overcome two main problems of the existing Moment Invariant methods large amount of processing and rotation sensitiveness which can frequently be seen in the Directive Histogram Intersection technique suggested by Jain et al. Experiments have been conducted on 300 automobile images. And we could obtain the more improved results through the comparative test with other methods.
