We propose a new method for rotational image retrieval that it is based on highly related property between a spatial image and wavelet transform. The characteristics have an important role in the design of our algorithm. Our proposed algorithm for rotational image retrieval is to obtain same image or rotated image. Because our algorithm used an rotational image retrieval.

We present an image retrieval method that improves retrieval rate by using the fusion of histogram and wavelet moment features. The key idea is that images similar to a query image are selected in DB by using the wavelet moment features. Then the result images are retrieved from the selected images by using histogram method. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed method, we use Brodatz texture database, MPEG-7 T1 database and Corel Draw photo. Experimental result shows that the proposed method is better than each of histogram method and wavelet moment method.

The most popular technique for image retrieval in a heterogeneous collection of color images is the comparison of images based on their color histogram. The color histogram describes the distribution of colors in the color space of a color image. In the most image retrieval systems, the color histogram is used to compute similarities between the query image and all the images in a database. But, small changes in the resolution, scaling, and illumination may cause important modifications of the color histogram, and so two color images may be considered to be very different from each other even though they have completely related semantics. A new method of color feature representation based on the 3-dimensional RGB color map is proposed to improve the defects of the color histogram. The proposed method is based on the three 2-dimensional projection map evaluated by projecting the RGB color space on the RG, GB, and BR surfaces. The experimental results reveal that the proposed is less sensitive to small changes in the scene and that achieve higher retrieval performances than the traditional color histogram.

In this paper, we propose efficient content-based image retrieval methods using the automatic extraction of the low-level visual features as image content. Two new feature extraction methods are presented. The first one os an advanced color feature extraction derived from the modification of Stricker's method. The second one is a texture feature extraction using some DCT coefficients which represent some dominant directions and gray level variations of the image. In the experiment with an image database of 200 natural images, the proposed methods show higher performance than other methods. They can be combined into an efficient hierarchical retrieval method.

본 논문에서는 클러스터 기반의 영상 검색 기법을 제시한다. 이 기법은 클러스터링 기법인 RAGMD를 이용하여 유사한 영상들을 클러스터로 분류한 후, 관련 클러스터로부터 영상을 검색하는 방법이다. 영상 검색시에 먼저, 전체 영상 데이터베이스를 차례대로 일일이 검색하는 것이 아니라, 질의 영상과 유사한 클러스터인 유사 영상 소집단에서 검색한다. 그러므로 이 방법은 직접 검색(Exhaustive Retrieval)과 거의 같은 검색 정밀도(Precision)를 유지하면서 검색 시간을 단축할 수 있다. 약 2,400개의 실제 영상들로 구성된 영상 데이터베이스를 사용한 실험에서, 제안된 검색 방법이 직접 검색과 거의 같은 정밀도를 유지하면서 약 18배의 빠른 검색 시간을 보였으며, 질의 영상과 같은 클래스에 속한 유사한 영상들을 더 많이 검색하는 것으로 나타났다.

At present, the Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) system has become a hot research topic in the computer vision field. In the CBIR system, the accurate extractions of low-level features can reduce the gaps between high-level semantics and improve retrieval precision. This paper puts forward a new retrieval method aiming at the problems of high computational complexities and low precision of global feature extraction algorithms. The establishment of the new retrieval method is on the basis of the SIFT and Harris (APISH) algorithm, and the salient region of interest points (SRIP) algorithm to satisfy users' interests in the specific targets of images. In the first place, by using the IPDSH and SRIP algorithms, we tested stable interest points and found salient regions. The interest points in the salient region were named as salient interest points. Secondary, we extracted the pseudo-Zernike moments of the salient interest points' neighborhood as the feature vectors. Finally, we calculated the similarities between query and database images. Finally, We conducted this experiment based on the Caltech-101 database. By studying the experiment, the results have shown that this new retrieval method can decrease the interference of unstable interest points in the regions of non-interests and improve the ratios of accuracy and recall.

영상의 에지정보를 이용한 내용기반 영상 검색 방법은 현재 MPEG-7(Moving Picture Experts Group) 에서 제안된 에지 서술자(edge descriptor)가 대표적인 방법이며, 이때 사용된 에지의 정보는 영상의 명암도에 따른 에지히스토그램을 이용하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 새로운 컬러 에지 추출 방법을 제시하고, 제안된 방법에 의해 컬러 에지히스토그램을 특징 값으로 하는 내용기반 영상검색 방법을 제시하였다. 아울러 제안된 방법에 기반하여 인터넷 쇼핑몰에서 사용되는 e-카탈로그 상품 영상 검색에 적용하였다. 성능평가를 위하여 기존 MPEG-7에서 제시된 에지히스토그램에 의한 영상검색 방법과 비교하여 보았으며 실험결과 제안된 방법이 검색에 있어서 우수함을 입증할 수 있었다. 컬러에지의 추출은 컬러 영상의 R,G,B 채널의 각 성분의 벡터적 결합방법과 에지 맵의 벡터 노름(norm) 특성화를 통하여 이루어진다. 결과적으로 내용기반 영상 검색은 생성된 최종 에지모델이 갖는 에지의 방향성을 이용한 컬러 에지히스토그램을 통하여 수행된다.

In this paper we propose the CBIR algorithm which is based on a novel image block method that combined both color and edge feature. The main drawback of global histogram representation is dependent of the color without spatial or shape information, a new image block method that divided the image to 8 related blocks which contained more information of the image is utilized to extract image feature. Based on these 8 blocks, histogram equalization and edge detection techniques are also used for image retrieval. The experimental results show that the proposed image block method has better ability of characterizing the image contents than traditional block method and can perform the retrieval system efficiently.

Color, texture, and shape act as important information for images in human recognition. For content-based image retrieval, many studies have combined color, texture, and shape features to improve the retrieval performance. However, there have not been many powerful methods for combining all color, texture, and shape features. This study proposes a content-based image retrieval method that uses the combined local and global features of color, texture, and shape. The color features are extracted from the color autocorrelogram; the texture features are extracted from the magnitude of a complete local binary pattern and the Gabor local correlation revealing local image characteristics; and the shape features are extracted from singular value decomposition that reflects global image characteristics. In this work, an experiment is performed to compare the proposed method with those that use our partial features and some existing techniques. The results show an average precision that is 19.60% higher than those of existing methods and 9.09% higher than those of recent ones. In conclusion, our proposed method is superior over other methods in terms of retrieval performance.
