최근의 내용기반 영상 검객 시스템은 한정된 수의 영상을 저장해 놓은 단일의 서버를 이용하고 있다. 이로 인해 웹 상의 다양한 영상을 원하는 웹 사용자의 요구를 만족시키지 못하고 있다. 수많은 웹 영상을 대상으로 하는 내용기반 영상 검색 시스템은 무엇보다도 실시간에 기반을 두어야 한다. 이를 구현하기 위해서는 영상 수집과 특징 추출에 걸리는 많은 소모 시간 문제가 해결되어야 한다. 최근, 고속의 데이터 처리를 목적으로 부하분산 PC클러스터가 개발되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 많은 시간을 요하는 영상 수집과 특징 추출 작업을 부하분산 PC클러스터의 종속 컴퓨터들에 분배함으로써 전체 검색 시간을 감소시켰으며, 이를 통해 실시간 웹 영상 검색의 가능성을 발견할 수 있었다.

내용을 기반으로 한 이미지 데이타 검색은 이미지로부터 자동적으로 특징값들을 추출하여 사용자가 원하는 이미지를 검색하는 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 이미지 데이타 로부터 형태적 특징과 컬러 특징을 자동적으로 추출하여 내용을 기반으로 이미지 데이타를 검색할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 이를 위하여 필요한 일련의 이미지 처리 과정을 소개하고 추출된 특징값들을 빠르게 검색하기 위해 변형된 트라이와 R 트리를 사용한 인덱싱기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 검색 방법은 형태와 컬러에 대한 특징값들을 모두 취급하므로 보다 신뢰성 있는 검색을 할 수 있다. 또한 본 논문에서는 이를 바탕으로 구현된 이미지 데이타베이스와 약 200여개의 이미지 데이타를 대상으로한 검색 실험 결과를 보이며, 검색 결과를 통해 형태적 특징과 컬러 특징이 이미지가 데이타 검색에 미친 영향을 고찰해 본다.

This paper presents image database retrieval based on maximum color occurrenceusing Hue, Saturation and Value (HSV) color space. Our system is based on color segmentation. We dividedthe image into n number of areas based on different selected ranges of hue and value, then each area is partitioned into m number of segments based on the number of pixels it contains, after this we calculated the maximumcolor occurrence in each segment and used its HSV value. This is used as a feature vector.

With the exponential growth of medical image big data represented by high-resolution CT images(CTI), the high-resolution CTI data is of great importance for clinical research and diagnosis. The paper takes lung CTI as an example to study. Retrieving answer CTIs similar to the input one from the large-scale lung CTI database can effectively assist physicians to diagnose. Compared with the conventional content-based image retrieval(CBIR) methods, the CBIR for lung CTIs demands higher retrieval accuracy in both the contour shape and the internal details of the organ. In traditional supervised deep learning networks, the learning of the network relies on the labeling of CTIs which is a very time-consuming task. To address this issue, the paper proposes a Weakly Supervised Similarity Evaluation Network (WSSENet) for efficiently support similarity analysis of lung CTIs. We conducted extensive experiments to verify the effectiveness of the WSSENet based on which the CBIR is performed.

A content-based image retrieval system is designed and implemetned using the color featurees which are histogram intersection and color pairs. The preprocessor for the image retrieval manage linearly the existing HSI(hue, saturation, saturation, intensity). Hue and intensity histogram thresholding for each color attribute is performed to split the chromatic and achromatic regions respectively. Grouping te indexes produced by the histogram intersection is used to save the retrieval times. Each image is divided into the cells of 32$\times$32 pixels, and color pairs are used to represent the query during retrievals. The recall/precision of histogram intersection is 0.621/0.663 and recall/precision of color pairs is 0.438/0.536. And recall/precision of proposed method is 0.765/0.775/. It is shown that the proposed method using histogram intersection and color pairs improves the retrieval rates.

Relevance feedback is an effective tool to bridge the gap between superficial image contents and medically-relevant sense in content-based medical image retrieval. In this paper, we propose an interactive medical image search framework based on pairwise constraint propagation. The basic idea is to obtain pairwise constraints from user feedback and propagate them to the entire image set to reconstruct the similarity matrix, and then rank medical images on this new manifold. In contrast to most of the algorithms that only concern manifold structure, the proposed method integrates pairwise constraint information in a feedback procedure and resolves the small sample size and the asymmetrical training typically in relevance feedback. We also introduce a long-term feedback strategy for our retrieval tasks. Experiments on two medical image datasets indicate the proposed approach can significantly improve the performance of medical image retrieval. The experiments also indicate that the proposed approach outperforms previous relevance feedback models.

In this paper, we propose a novo] content-based image retrieval system using both Hidden Markov Model(HMM) and an improved chain code. The Gaussian Mixture Model(GMM) is applied to statistically model a color information of the image, and Deterministic Annealing EM(DAEM) algorithm is employed to estimate the parameters of GMM. This result is used to segment the given image. We use an improved chain code, which is invariant to rotation, translation and scale, to extract the feature vectors of the shape for each image in the database. These are stored together in the database with each HMM whose parameters (A, B, $\pi$) are estimated by Baum-Welch algorithm. With respect to feature vector obtained in the same way from the query image, a occurring probability of each image is computed by using the forward algorithm of HMM. We use these probabilities for the image retrieval and present the highest similarity images based on these probabilities.

The search for relevant and actionable information is a key to achieving clinical and research goals in biomedicine. Biomedical information exists in different forms: as text and illustrations in journal articles and other documents, in images stored in databases, and as patients' cases in electronic health records. This paper presents ways to move beyond conventional text-based searching of these resources, by combining text and visual features in search queries and document representation. A combination of techniques and tools from the fields of natural language processing, information retrieval, and content-based image retrieval allows the development of building blocks for advanced information services. Such services enable searching by textual as well as visual queries, and retrieving documents enriched by relevant images, charts, and other illustrations from the journal literature, patient records and image databases.

Query-by-example (QBE) is a well-known method for image retrieval. In reality, however, an example image to be used for the query is rarely available. Therefore, it is often necessary to find a good example image to be used for the query before applying the QBE method. Query-by-layout (QBL) is our proposal for that purpose. In particular, we make use of the visual descriptors such as the edge histogram descriptor (EHD) and the color layout descriptor (CLD) in MPEG-7. Since image features of the CLD and the EHD can be localized in terms of a$4{\times}4$ sub-image, we can specify image features such as color and edge distribution on each sub-image separately for image retrieval without a query image. Experimental results show that the proposed query method can be used to retrieve a good image as a starting point for further QBE-based image retrieval.
