The progress of mobile computing technology is bringing a large amount of multimedia contents such as image. Thus, we need an image retrieval system which searches semantically relevant image. In this paper, we propose a semantic image annotation and retrieval in mobile environments. Previous mobile-based annotation approaches cannot fully express the semantics of image due to the limitation of current form (i.e., keyword tagging). Our approach allows mobile devices to annotate the image automatically using the context-aware information such as temporal and spatial data. In addition, since we annotate the image using RDF(Resource Description Framework) model, we are able to query SPARQL for semantic image retrieval. Our system implemented in android environment shows that it can more fully represent the semantics of image and retrieve the images semantically comparing with other image annotation systems.

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.

본 논문에서는 칼라와 에지 정보를 이용한 내용기반 영상검색 기법을 제안하였다. 기존의 RGB 공간 정보를 이용하기 보다는, 시각적 인식에 보다 중점을 둔 HSI칼라 공간에서 고찰하였다. 비슷한 류의 색을 대표색으로 통합 표현하여, 개선된 칼라 정보 이용법을 본 연구에서 제안하였다. 또한 칼라 정보만을 이용했을 때의 시스템 성능상의 결점을 보완하기 위하여, 효율적인 에지 디텍션 기법을 함께 사용하였다. 칼라와 에지 기법을 통합함에 있어서, 각각의 기법에 적절한 가중치를 배분함으로써 시스템 성능을 실험적으로 향상시켰다.

멀티미디어 정보검색 중 내용기반 영상검색은 색상, 질감, 형태 등의 영상 내용 특징들을 이용하여 검색하는 방법으로, 색상과 질감 특징이 영상 검색 시스템에서 일반적으로 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 이 시스템은 영상의 형태가 서로 다른 경우 서로 다른 내용을 나타내므로 유사 영상검색에서 오류를 수반할 수 있다. 그러므로 영상의 특징을 나타내는 형태의 사용은 효과적인 내용기반 영상검색에서 중요하다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 영상의 윤곽선에 의한 전역 특징 필터링 처리 후에 형태정보의 히스토그램에 의한 성능이 더 우수한 형태 유사도 영상 검색 시스템을 개발한다.

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.

디지털 압축기술의 발달과 컴퓨팅 능력이 발전함에 따라서 많은 양의 이미지, 그래픽, 오디오, 비디오 정보가 인터넷을 통한 멀티미디어 시스템에서 활발히 이용되고 있다. 이에 따라 사용자가 원하는 멀티미디어 컨텐츠를 탐색하기 위한 다양한 검색기법이 요구되고 있으며, 특히 단순한 텍스트형 키워드에 의한 검색보다는 내용에 의한 검색 기법이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 여러 가지 전처리 과정을 통해 영상을 분류하고, 여기에 색상의 공간적, 질감적 특징을 선별적으로 적용함으로서 처리 효율을 높이면서 검색 성능을 증가시킬 수 있는 내용기반 색인 및 검색 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 또한, 특정 상표에 대한 내용기반 데이터 검색요청 및 수행 결과 분석을 통해 제안된 기법의 성능을 평가하였고, 그 결과를 기술하였다.

Mobile image retrieval is one of the most exciting and fastest growing research fields in the area of multimedia technology. As the amount of digital contents continues to grow users are experiencing increasing difficulty in finding specific images in their image libraries. This paper proposes a new efficient and effective mobile image retrieval method that applies a weighted combination of color and texture utilizing spatial-color and second order statistics. The system for mobile image searches runs in real-time on an iPhone and can easily be used to find a specific image. To evaluate the performance of the new method, we assessed the iPhone simulations performance in terms of average precision and recall using several image databases and compare the results with those obtained using existing methods. Experimental trials revealed that the proposed descriptor exhibited a significant improvement of over 13% in retrieval effectiveness, compared to the best of the other descriptors.

Image retrieval is one of the most exciting and fastest growing research fields in the area of multimedia technology. As the amount of digital contents continues to grow users are experiencing increasing difficulty in finding specific images in their image libraries. This paper proposes an efficient image descriptor which uses a local color and texture in the non-overlapped block images. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, we assessed the retrieval efficiency in terms of ANMRR with common image dataset. The experimental trials revealed that the proposed algorithm exhibited a significant improvement in ANMRR, compared to Dominant Color Descriptor and Edge Histogram Descriptor.

In modern society, creation and distribution of multimedia contents is being actively conducted. These multimedia information have come out the enormous amount daily, the amount of data is also large enough it can't be compared with past text information. Since it has been increased for a need of the method to efficiently store multimedia information and to easily search the information, various methods associated therewith have been actively studied. In particular, image search methods for finding what you want from the video database or multiple sequential images, have attracted attention as a new field of image processing. Image retrieval method to be implemented in this paper, utilizes the attribute of corner patches based on the corner points of the object, for providing a new method of efficient and robust image search. After detecting the edge of the object within the image, the straight lines using a Hough transformation is extracted. A corner patches is formed by defining the extracted intersection of the straight line as a corner point. After configuring the feature vectors with patches rearranged, the similarity between images in the database is measured. Finally, for an accurate comparison between the proposed algorithm and existing algorithms, the recall precision rate, which has been widely used in content-based image retrieval was used to measure the performance evaluation. For the image used in the experiment, it was confirmed that the image is detected more accurately in the proposed method than the conventional image retrieval methods.

CBIR is an effective tool to search and extract image contents in a large remote sensing image database queried by an operator or end user. However, as imaging principles are different by sensors, their visual representation thus varies among image modality type. Considering images of various modalities archived in the database, image modality difference has to be tackled for the successful CBIR implementation. However, this topic has been seldom dealt with and thus still poses a practical challenge. This study suggests a cross modality CBIR (termed as the CM-CBIR) method that transforms given query feature vector by a supervised procedure in order to link between modalities. This procedure leverages the skill of analyst in training steps after which the transformed query vector is created for the use of searching in target images with different modalities. Current initial results show the potential of the proposed CM-CBIR method by delivering the image content of interest from different modality images. Despite its retrieval capability is outperformed by that of same modality CBIR (abbreviated as the SM-CBIR), the lack of retrieval performance can be compensated by employing the user's relevancy feedback, a conventional technique for retrieval enhancement.
