In this paper, we proposed a content-based image retrieval algorithm using local binary patterns and HSV color histogram. Images are retrieved using image input in image retrieval system. Many researches are based on global feature distribution such as color, texture and shape. These techniques decrease the retrieval performance in images which contained background the large amount of image. To overcome this drawback, the proposed method extract background fast and emphasize the feature of object by shrinking the background. The proposed method uses HSV color histogram and Local Binary Patterns. We also extract the Local Binary Patterns in quantized Hue domain. Experimental results show that the proposed method 82% precision using Corel 1000 database.

To ensure access to rapidly growing video collection, video indexing is becoming more and more important. In this paper, video ontology system for retrieving a video data based on a scene unit is proposed. The proposed system creates a semantic scene as a basic unit of video retrieval, and limits a domain of retrieval through a subject of that scene. The content of semantic scene is defined using the relationship between object and event included in the key frame of shots. The semantic gap between the low level feature and the high level feature is solved through the scene ontology to ensure the semantic-based retrieval.

Since shape of an object in an image carries important information in contents based image retrieval (CBIR), many shape description methods have been proposed to retrieve images using shape information. Among the existing shape based image retrieval methods, the method which employs invariant Zernike moment desciptor (IZMD) showed better performance compared to other methods which employ traditional Zernike moments descriptor in CBIR. In this paper, we propose a new image retrieval method which applies invariant angular radial transform descriptor (IARTD) to obtain higher performance than the method which employs IZMD in CBIR. IARTD is a rotationally invariant feature which consists of magnitudes and alligned phases of angular radial transform coefficients. To produce rotationally invariant phase coefficients, a phase correction scheme is performed while extracting the IARTD. The distance between two IARTDs is defined by combining the differences of the magnitudes and the aligned phases. Through the experiment using MPEG-7 shape dataset, the average bull's eye performance (BEP) of the proposed method is 0.5806 while the average BEPs of the exsiting methods which employ IZMD and traditional ART are 0.4234 and 0.3574, respectively.

In searching and locating a collection of components on the Web, users require a Web browser. Since the Web libraries tend to grow rapidly, there needs to be an effective way to organize and manage such large libraries. Traditional Web-based library(retrieval) systems provide various classification scheme and retrieval services to store and retrieve components. However, these systems do not include invaluable services, for example, enabling users to grasp the overall contents of the library at the beginning of retrieval. This paper discusses a Web-based library system, which provides the efficient management of object-oriented components and a set of services beyond simple component store and retrieval. These services consist of component comprehension through a reverse engineering process, automated summary extraction, and comprehension-based retrieval. Also, The performance of an automated cluster-based classification scheme adopted on the system is evaluated and compared with the cluster-based classification scheme adopted on the system is evaluated and compared with the performance of two other systems using traditional classification scheme.

In this paper, a texture feature extraction method using local energy and local correlation of Gabor transformed images is proposed and applied to an image retrieval system. The Gabor wavelet is known to be similar to the response of the human visual system. The outputs of the Gabor transformation are robust to variants of object size and illumination. Due to such advantages, it has been actively studied in various fields such as image retrieval, classification, analysis, etc. In this paper, in order to fully exploit the superior aspects of Gabor wavelet, local energy and local correlation features are extracted from Gabor transformed images and then applied to an image retrieval system. Some experiments are conducted to compare the performance of the proposed method with those of the conventional Gabor method and the popular rotation-invariant uniform local binary pattern (RULBP) method in terms of precision vs recall. The Mahalanobis distance is used to measure the similarity between a query image and a database (DB) image. Experimental results for Corel DB and VisTex DB show that the proposed method is superior to the conventional Gabor method. The proposed method also yields precision and recall 6.58% and 3.66% higher on average in Corel DB, respectively, and 4.87% and 3.37% higher on average in VisTex DB, respectively, than the popular RULBP method.

This paper proposes the two algorithms which generate a minimal decision rule and approximate inference operation, adapted the rough set and the factor space theory in fuzzy knowledge base. The generation of the minimal decision rule is executed by the data classification technique and reduct applying the correlation analysis and the Bayesian theorem related attribute factors. To retrieve the specific object, this paper proposes the approximate inference method defining the membership function and the combination operation of t-norm in the minimal knowledge base composed of decision rule. We compare the suggested algorithms with the other retrieval theories such as possibility theory, factor space theory, Max-Min, Max-product and Max-average composition operations through the simulation generating the object numbers and the attribute values randomly as the memory size grows. With the result of the comparison, we prove that the suggested algorithm technique is faster than the previous ones to retrieve the object in access time.

With recent progress of related multimedia computing technologies, it is necessay to retrieve diverse types of multimedia data based on multi-media content and their relationships. However, different from alphanumeric data, it is difficult to provide relevant multimedia information, be-cause multimedia contents and their relationships are implied in multimedia data. Therefore, in case of a multimedia news service system that is a representative multimedia application, most of new services provide relevant news about text articles and retrieval of multimedia news such as video news or image news are provided independently. In this paper, we present an XML-based multimedia news management system, which provides integrating, retrieval, and delivery of relevant multimedia news. Our data model composed of media object, relationship object, and view object represents diverse types of multimedia news content and semantically related multimedia news. In addition, a proposed view mechanism makes it possible to customize multimedia news, and therefore provides multimedia news efficiently.

RFID tag awareness information and sensor data continuously change, and are categorized with the position. They are able to similar data in the side, called massive data to change in time. If two data are managed together, a convergence process of object awareness along change of environment is possible. If RFID middleware and EPCIS repository realized the integrated system, it is usable with the functions of middleware and repository at the same time. The real-time awareness information retrieval is possible without process, getting information from another middleware. In this paper, it is able to continuously read information from RFID reader and sensor equipment and store to database in order to make general object awareness and an object retrieval dependent on an environmental information change possible by real time. ALE-compliant middleware and EPCIS repository proposing for standards at EPCglobal is designed and implemented to be able to deal with RFID and sensor data to bases on the collected data.

With the rapid development of internet technology, the number of internet users and the amount of multimedia information on the internet is ever increasing. Recently, the web sites, such as e-business sites and shopping mall sites, deal with lots of image information. As a result, it is required to support content- based image retrieval efficiently on such image data. This paper proposes an intelligent image retrieval system, which adopts XML, technology. To support object-based col)tent retrieval on product catalog images containing multiple objects, we describe a multi -level metadata structure which represents the local features, global features, and semantics of image data. To enable semantic-based and content-based retrieval on such image data, we design a XML-Schema for the proposed metadata and show how to represent such metadata using XML- documents. We also describe how to automatically transform the retrieval results into the forms suitable for the various user environments, such as web browser or mobile browser, using XSLT The proposed scheme can be easily implemented on any commercial platforms supporting XML technology. It can be utilized to enable efficient image metadata sharing between systems, and it will contribute in improving the retrieval correctness and the user's satisfaction on content-based e-catalog image retrieval.

Growing efforts and interests of security techniques in a diverse surveillance environment, the intelligent surveillance system, which is capable of automatically detecting and tracking target objects in multi-cameras environment, is actively developing in a security community. In this paper, we propose an effective visual surveillance system that is avaliable to track objects continuously in multiple non-overlapped cameras. The proposed object tracking scheme consists of object tracking module and tracking management module, which are based on hand-off scheme and protocol. The object tracking module, runs on IP camera, provides object tracking information generation, object tracking information distribution and similarity comparison function. On the other hand, the tracking management module, runs on video control server, provides realtime object tracking reception, object tracking information retrieval and IP camera control functions. The proposed object tracking scheme allows comprehensive framework that can be used in a diverse range of application, because it doesn't rely on the particular surveillance system or object tracking techniques.
