Shape description is an important and fundamental issue in content-based image retrieval (CBIR), and a number of shape description methods have been reported in the literature. For shape description, both global information and local contour variations play important roles. In this paper a new included-angular ternary pattern (IATP) based shape descriptor is proposed for shape image retrieval. For each point on the shape contour, IATP is derived from its neighbor points, and IATP has good properties for shape description. IATP is intrinsically invariant to rotation, translation and scaling. To enhance the description capability, multiscale IATP histogram is presented to describe both local and global information of shape. Then multiscale IATP histogram is combined with included-angular histogram for efficient shape retrieval. In the matching stage, cosine distance is used to measure shape features' similarity. Image retrieval experiments are conducted on the standard MPEG-7 shape database and Swedish leaf database. And the shape image retrieval performance of the proposed method is compared with other shape descriptors using the standard evaluation method. The experimental results of shape retrieval indicate that the proposed method reaches higher precision at the same recall value compared with other description method.

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.

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.

본 논문에서는 시계열 데이타베이스에서의 모양 기반 검색 문제에 관하여 논의한다. 모양 기반 검색은 실제 요소 값과 관계없이 질의 시퀀스와 유사한 모양을 갖는 (서브)시퀀스를 찾는 연산이다. 본 연구에서는 모양 기반 서브시퀀스 검색을 위한 새로운 기법을 제안한다. 먼저, 시프팅, 스케일링, 이동 평균, 타임 워핑 등 변환들의 다양한 조합을 지원하는 모양 기반 검색을 위하여 새로운 유사 모델을 제시한다. 또한, 이러한 유사 모델을 기반으로 하는 모양 기반 검색을 효과적으로 처리하기 위하여 효율적인 인덱싱 및 질의 처리 기법들을 제안한다. 제안된 기법의 유용성을 규명하기 위하여 실제 데이타인 S&P 500 주식 데이터를 이용한 다양한 실험을 수행한다. 실험 결과에 의하면, 제안된 기법은 질의 시퀀스의 모양과 유사한 모양을 갖는 서브시퀀스들을 성공적으로 검색할 뿐만 아니라 순차 검색 기법과 비교하여 66배까지의 상당한 성능 개선 효과를 갖는 것으로 나타났다.

동영상의 내용 기반 검색에 있어 객체의 움직임에 대한 정보는 내용의 분류와 구분에 있어 중요하게 이용될 수 있다. 특히 사람의 동작을 분석하고 구분하는 것은 검색뿐 아니라 다양한 분야에 활용할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 객체의 움직임에 따라 변화하는 모양 정보를 이용하여 동작을 표현하고 구분하기 위해 제안된 모양 변화 기술자와 모양 시퀀스의 성능을 높이는 방법을 제안한다. 변화하는 객체의 모양 정보를 더 효율적으로 표현하기 위한 모양 기술자의 선택과 유사도 측정을 위해 사용되는 거리함수의 비교를 통하여 동작 정보의 표현 및 검색 효율을 높일 수 있도록 하였다. 실험을 통하여 제안된 방법이 기존의 방법에 비해 더 효율적으로 동작 정보를 표현하여 검색의 성능을 높일 수 있음을 보였다.

In the area of remote sensing, an immense number of images are continuously generated by various remote sensing systems. These images must then be managed by a database system efficient storage and retrieval. There are many types of image database systems, among which the content-based image retrieval (CBIR) system is the most advanced. CBIR utilizes the metadata of images including the feature data for indexing and searching images. Therefore, the performance of image retrieval is significantly affected by the storage method of the image metadata. There are many features of images such as color, texture, and shape. We mainly consider the shape feature because shape can be identified in any remote sensing while color does not always necessarily appear in some remote sensing. In this paper, we propose a metadata representation and storage method for image search based on shape features. First, we extend MPEG-7 to describe the shape features which are not defined in the MPEG-7 standard. Second, we design a storage schema for storing images and their metadata in a relational database system. Then, we propose an efficient storage method for managing the shape feature data using a Wavelet technique. Finally, we provide the performance results of our proposed storage method.

This paper brings out a neoteric frame of reference for visual semantic based 3d video search and retrieval applications. Newfangled 3D retrieval application spotlight on shape analysis like object matching, classification and retrieval not only sticking up entirely with video retrieval. In this ambit, we delve into 3D-CBVR (Content Based Video Retrieval) concept for the first time. For this purpose we intent to hitch on BOVW and Mapreduce in 3D framework. Here, we tried to coalesce shape, color and texture for feature extraction. For this purpose, we have used combination of geometric & topological features for shape and 3D co-occurrence matrix for color and texture. After thriving extraction of local descriptors, TB-PCT (Threshold Based- Predictive Clustering Tree) algorithm is used to generate visual codebook. Further, matching is performed using soft weighting scheme with L₂ distance function. As a final step, retrieved results are ranked according to the Index value and produce results .In order to handle prodigious amount of data and Efficacious retrieval, we have incorporated HDFS in our Intellection. Using 3D video dataset, we fiture the performance of our proposed system which can pan out that the proposed work gives meticulous result and also reduce the time intricacy.

For efficient content-based image retrieval, diverse visual features such as color, texture, and shape have been widely used. In the case of leaf images, further improvement can be achieved based on the following observations. Most plants have unique shape of leaves that consist of one or more blades. Hence, blade-based matching can be more efficient than whole shape-based matching since the number and shape of blades are very effective to filtering out dissimilar leaves. Guaranteeing rotational invariance is critical for matching accuracy. In this paper, we propose a new shape representation, indexing and matching scheme for leaf image retrieval. For leaf shape representation, we generated a distance curve that is a sequence of distances between the leaf’s center and all the contour points. For matching, we developed a blade-based matching algorithm called rotation invariant - partial dynamic time warping (RI-PDTW). To speed up the matching, we suggest two additional techniques: i) priority queue-based pruning of unnecessary blade sequences for rotational invariance, and ii) lower bound-based pruning of unnecessary partial dynamic time warping (PDTW) calculations. We implemented a prototype system on the GEMINI framework [1][2]. Using experimental results, we showed that our scheme achieves excellent performance compared to competitive schemes.

Content based image retrieval is increasingly gaining popularity among image repository systems as images are a big source of digital communication and information sharing. Identification of image content is done through feature extraction which is the key operation for a successful content based image retrieval system. In this paper content based image retrieval system has been developed by adopting a strategy of combining multiple features of shape, color and relevance feedback. Shape is served as a primary operation to identify images whereas color and relevance feedback have been used as supporting features to make the system more efficient and accurate. Shape features are estimated through second derivative, least square polynomial and shapes coding methods. Color is estimated through max-min mean of neighborhood intensities. A new technique has been introduced for relevance feedback without bothering the user.
