The image labeling and classification is one of the important tasks for a content-based image retrieval and an image understanding. This paper propose a new technique to label and classify natural images with a color-spatial histogram and production rules. We show that our proposed method is very efficient for a natural image composed of a few regions.

This report introduces a simple method to visualize the captured thrombus in real-time during suction thrombectomy using "contrast-in-stasis technique". It enables visualization of the thrombus captured by a suction catheter as it is being retrieved through the tortuous course of the carotid artery eventually into the guiding catheter. It also offers visual identification of important findings such as fragmentation of thrombus into pieces or loss of thrombus during retrieval, and, therefore, helps clinicians to make further critical decisions during the procedure.

This paper presents an image retrieval algorithm based on feature vector using color of histogram refinement for a faster and more efficient search in the process of content based image retrieval. First, we segment each of R, G, and B images from RGB color image and extract their respective histograms. Secondly, these histograms of individual R, G and B are divided into sixteen of bins each. Finally, we extract the maximum pixel values in each bins' histogram, which are calculated, compared and analyzed, Now, we can perform image retrieval technique using these maximum pixel value. Hence, the proposed algorithm of this paper effectively extracts features by comparing input and database images, making features from R, G and B into a feature vector table, and prove a batter searching performance than the current algorithm that uses histogram matching and ranks, only.

Recently, semantic search techniques which are based on information space as consisting of nonambiguous, non-redundant, formal pieces of ontological knowledge have been developed so that users do exploit large knowledge bases. The purpose of the study is to design more user-friendly and smarter retrieval interface based on ontological analysis, which can provide more precise information by reducing semantic ambiguity or more rich linked information based on well-defined relationships. Therefore, this study, first of all, focuses on ontological analysis on researcher information as selecting descriptive elements, defining classes and properties of descriptive elements, and identifying relationships between the properties and their restriction between relationships. Next, the study designs the prototypical retrieval interface based on ontology-based representation, which supports to semantic searching and browsing regarding researchers as a full-fledged domain. On the proposed retrieval interface, users can search various facts for researcher information such as research outputs or the personal information, or carrier history and browse the social connection of the researchers such as researcher group that is lecturing or researching on the same subject or involving in the same intellectual communication.

Recently, multimedia DBMS is appeared to be the core technology of the information society to store, manage and retrieve multimedia data efficiently. In this paper, we propose a new method for content based-retrieval system using wavelet transform, energy value to extract automatically feature vector from image data, and suggest an effective retrieval technique through this method. Wavelet transform is widely used in image compression and digital signal analysis, and its coefficient values reflect image feature very well. The correlation in wavelet domain between query image data and the stored data in database is used to calculate similarity. In order to assess the image retrieval performance, a set of hundreds images are run. The method using standard derivation and mean value used for feature vector extraction are compared with that of our method based on energy value. For the simulation results, our energy value method was more effective than the one using standard derivation and mean value.

The efficient discovery of services from a large scale collection of services has become an important issue[7, 24]. We studied a syntactic method for Web service discovery, rather than a semantic method. We regarded a service discovery as a retrieval problem on the proprietary XML formats, which were service descriptions in a registry DB. We modeled services and queries as probabilistic values and devised similarity-based retrieval techniques. The benefits of our way are follows. First, our system supports ranked service retrieval by keyword search. Second, we considers both of UDDI data and WSDL definitions of services amid query evaluation time. Last, our technique can be easily implemented on the off-theshelf DBMS and also utilize good features of DBMS maintenance.

There are two significant drawbacks in triple image indexing; one is that is cannot support concept-based image retrieval and the other is that it fails to allow disjunctive labeling of images. To remedy the drawbacks, we propose a new technique supporting a concept-based retrieval against images indexed by indefinite fuzzy triples (I-fuzzy triples). The I-fuzzy triples allow not only a disjunctive image labeling, but also a concept-based matching against images labeled disjunctively. The disjunctive labeling is based on the expended closed world assumption and the concept-based image retrieval is based on fuzzy matching. In this paper, we also propose a concept-based query evaluation against the image database to extract desired answers with the degree of certainty $\alpha$$\in$[1,0].

In this paper, several problems functioning as the obstacles against software reuse were summarized. Among them, the issues dealt with in this paper include the effective method for constructing the library, the proper structure of the library, and the efficient retrieval technique. The knowledge-based approach and the information retrieval approach were integrated to construct and manage the library. The former is on the object- oriented model. Basically the object-oriented library is based on the classes and organized by inheritance. Because inheritance hierarchy is based on syntactical information, it dose not present the relationship of functionality. Using the information retrieval approach, the index file which characterizes the component and similarity among the components can be analyzed. Especially, we focused on the reusable library for the object-oriented programming environments.

The purpose of this study was to design and implement a useful annotation-based Radiological image retrieval system to accurately determine on education and image information for Radiological technologists. For better retrieval performance based on large image databases, we presented an indexing technique that integrated $B^+-tree$ proposed by Bayer for indexing simple attributes and inverted file structure for text medical keywords acquired from additional description information about Radiological images. In our results, we implemented proposed retrieval system with Delphi under Windows XP environment. End users, Radiological technologists, are able to store simple attributes information such as doctor name, operator name, body parts, disease and so on, additional text-based description information, and Radiological image itself as well as to retrieve wanted results by using simple attributes and text keywords from large image databases by graphic user interface. Consequently proposed system can be used for effective clinical decision on Radiological image, reduction of education time by organizing the knowledge, and well organized education in the clinical fields. In addition, It can be expected to develop as decision support system by constructing web-based integrated imaging system included general image and special contrast image for the future.

Purpose The present study was to evaluate the outcomes of Denali filter retrieval. Materials and Methods We retrospectively reviewed 143 patients who received Denali filter insertion from September 2015 to April 2020. Ninety-seven patients who required removal of the filters were include in this study. Filters were retrieved with either standard or advanced techniques. Venography before and after retrieval was obtained to evaluate technical success, complications and duration of filter insertion. Results All 97 filters were retrieved successfully without complications. Ninety-two (94.8%) were retrieved with standard technique and 5 filters (5.2%) required the advanced technique. There were two cases with a filter angle greater than 15 degrees. Inferior vena cava penetration was shown in 17 patients (17.5%) on venography but was not associated with contrast media extravasation after filter removal. Conclusion The Denali filter showed a high rate of successful retrieval without complications. This study adds value to previous studies and trials showing that the Denali filter is a reliable and safe filter that can potentially improve retrieval rates, with increasing use of this device.
