이미지의 유사도나 의미분석을 위해 주요 특징벡터인 색상, 경계선, 질감 등의 연구와 이들을 이미지 전역구간 및 관심영역에 적용하기 위해 데이터베이스에 저장하기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 특히, 특징벡터의 분할 방법을 유동적, 또는 크게 할 경우 알고리즘 복잡화로 인해 추출 및 검색시간과 오버헤드가 증가하게 되고, 적게할 경우 정확도가 감소한다. 따라서 본 논문은 색상 및 경계선 벡터를 사분트리 분할 인덱스 구조로 데이터 베이스에 저장하고, 두 가지 문제를 동시에 해결하기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 이미지 전역구간을 사분노드로 분할하고, 관심영역의 색상정보를 비교하고, 추출된 전역적 경계분포 순위계수와 비교 알고리즘을 이용하여 이미지에 분포된 객체의 위치정보를 검색함으로써, 검색속도 및 정확성을 개선하였다

Text, as one of the most influential inventions of humanity, has played an important role in human life since ancient times. The rich and precise information embodied in text is very useful in a wide range of vision-based applications such as the text data extracted from images that can provide information for automatic annotation, indexing, language translation, and the assistance systems for impaired persons. Therefore, natural-scene text detection with active research topics regarding computer vision and document analysis is very important. Previous methods have poor performances due to numerous false-positive and true-negative regions. In this paper, a fully-convolutional-network (FCN)-based method that uses supervised architecture is used to localize textual regions. The model was trained directly using images wherein pixel values were used as inputs and binary ground truth was used as label. The method was evaluated using ICDAR-2013 dataset and proved to be comparable to other feature-based methods. It could expedite research on text detection using deep-learning based approach in the future.

본 논문에서는 MPEG-7 질감 기술자에 기반한 영상의 내용기반 검색 시스템에서 유사도 검색 알고리즘에 대하여 다룬다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 영상의 회전에 대하여 변화하지 않는 특성을 지닌다. 실제적으로 영상이나 비디오에서 질감 정보를 이용하여 검색을 수행하고자 하는 영상에 대하여 회전 불변 알고리즘은 반드시 필요하다. 본 논문에서 제한된 알고리즘을 이용하여 질감 영상회전 불변 유사도 측정에 따른 검색을 수행하였다. 본 논문의 실험은 회전 불변 성능을 측정하는 MPEG-7 질감 데이터베이스에서 검색 율을 측정하였다. 실험결과 본 영상 회전 불변 질감 기술자 표현 방법은 우수한 검색 성능과 빠른 특징 추출 능력을 보였다.

대부분의 이미지 검색은 질의 키워드를 이용하여 이루어지기 때문에 웹으로부터 수집한 이미지에는 미리 주제와 연관된 적절한 색인어를 부여하는 것이 필요하다. 웹 문서의 키워드를 이용하는 방법은 이미지와 연관성이 높은 것으로 간주되는 주변 키워드에 대해 각각의 연관도를 계산하여 색인어를 선정하는 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 이미지 주변의 키워드를 이용하여 이미지를 인덱싱한 후 유저 피드백을 통해 정확도를 높이는 웹 이미지 검색 모델을 제안한다.

유비쿼터스 시대가 다가오면서, 많은 사람들은 모르는 장소에서 자신의 위치와 목적지까지의 경로에 대한 정보를 알고 싶어할 것이다. 기존의 네비게이션(navigation)을 위한 비전기술은 고차원과 저차원 특징값을 이용하였다. 텍스춰 정보, 색상 히스토그램과 같은 저차원 특징값은 영상의 특징을 정확하게 표현하기 어려우며, 마커와 같은 고차원 정보는 실험환경을 구축하는데 어려움이 있다. 우리는 기존 저/고차원의 특징값 대신, 영상의 특징을 표현하고 인덱싱(indexing)하기 위한 유용한 정보를 많이 포함하고 있으며, 실제환경에서 널리 분포되어있는 중차원 특징값인 문자영상을 이용한다. 문자영상추출은 MLP(Multi-layer perceptron)와 CAMShift알고리즘을 결합한 방법을 이용하며, 서로 다른 장소지만 같은 문자를 가진 곳에서 인식을 수행하기 위해 문자영상의 크기와 기울기를 기반으로 한 영상 검색공간을 대상으로 영상매칭을 수행한다. 실험에서 문자영상을 포함하는 직사각형 검색공간으로 인해 다양한 크기와 기울기에서 높은 인식률을 보이며, 간단한 계산으로 빠른 수행시간을 가진다.

MPEG-7 based on XML represents various information of multimedia data's contents. and it support search and browsing by user's wants. But, MPEG-7 standard don't support retrieval method and Many XML Indexing is not compatible to retrieval MPEG-7 documents. So Much research activity and interest has emerged recently in retrieval MPEG-7 documents. In our paper, we suppose a hierarchical index based on MPEG-7 document's structural information, and review how to query processing based on high level feature description.

This study is designed to assess whether storyboard surrogates are useful enough to be utilized for indexing sources as well as for metadata elements using 12 sample videos and 14 participants. Study shows that first, the match rates of index terms and summaries are significantly different according to video types, which means storyboard surrogates are especially useful for the type of videos of conveying their meanings mainly through images. Second, participants could assign subject keywords and summaries to digital video, sacrificing a little loss of full video clips' match rates. Moreover, the match rate of index terms (0.45) is higher than that of summaries (0.40). This means storyboard surrogates could be more useful for indexing videos rather than summarizing them. The study suggests that 1)storyboard surrogates can be used as sources for indexing and abstracting digital videos; 2) using storyboard surrogates along with other metadata elements (e.g., text-based abstracts) can be more useful for users' relevance judgement; and 3)storyboard surrogates can be utilized as match sources of image-based queries. Finally, in order to improve storyboard surrogates quality, this study proposes future studies: constructing key frame extraction algorithms and designing key frame arrangement models.

Recently, there have been many indexing schemes for multimedia data such as image, video data. But recent database applications, for example data mining and multimedia database, are required to support multi-user environment. In order for indexing schemes to be useful in multi-user environment, a concurrency control algorithm is required to handle it. So we propose a concurrency control algorithm that can be applied to CBF (cell-based filtering method), which uses the signature of the cell for alleviating the dimensional curse problem. In addition, we extend the SHORE storage system of Wisconsin university in order to handle high-dimensional data. This extended SHORE storage system provides conventional storage manager functions, guarantees the integrity of high-dimensional data and is flexible to the large scale of feature vectors for preventing the usage of large main memory. Finally, we implement the web-based image retrieval system by using the extended SHORE storage system. The key feature of this system is platform-independent access to the high-dimensional data as well as functionality of efficient content-based queries. Lastly. We evaluate an average response time of point query, range query and k-nearest query in terms of the number of threads.

We propose a framework for grouping photographic advertising images that employs a hierarchical indexing scheme based on efficient feature combinations. The study provides one specific application of effective tools for monitoring photographic advertising information through online and offline channels. Specifically, it develops a preprocessor for advertising image information tracking. We consider both global features that contain general information on the overall image and local features that are based on local image characteristics. The developed local features are invariant under image rotation and scale, the addition of noise, and change in illumination. Thus, they successfully achieve reliable matching between different views of a scene across affine transformations and exhibit high accuracy in the search for matched pairs of identical images. The method works with global features in advance to organize coarse clusters that consist of several image groups among the image data and then executes fine matching with local features within each cluster to construct elaborate clusters that are separated by identical image groups. In order to decrease the computational time, we apply a conventional clustering method to group images together that are similar in their global characteristics in order to overcome the drawback of excessive time for fine matching time by using local features between identical images.

Recently there have been many efforts to support searching and browsing based on the visual content of image and multimedia data. Most existing approaches to content-based image retrieval rely on query by example or user based low-level features such as color, shape, texture. But these methods of query are not easy to use and restrict. In this paper we propose a method for automatic color object extraction and labelling to support multiple queries of content-based image retrieval system. These approaches simplify the regions within images using single colorizing algorithm and extract color object using proposed Color and Spatial based Binary tree map(CSB tree map). And by searching over a large of number of processed regions, a index for the database is created by using proposed labelling method. This allows very fast indexing of the image by color contents of the images and spatial attributes. Futhermore, information about the labelled regions, such as the color set, size, and location, enables variable multiple queries that combine both color content and spatial relationships of regions. We proved our proposed system to be high performance through experiment comparable with another algorithm using 'Washington' image database.
