The management of image information settles as an important field with the advent of multimedia age and we are in need of the effective retrieval method to manage systematically image information. This paper has complemented the problem caused by the absence of space information that is a weak point of the existing color histogram method by assigning regions of features, and raised accuracy by adding texture and shape information. And existing methods using multiple features have problems that the retrieval process is embarrassed because each weight is set up manually. So we has solved these problems by assignment of weight applying fuzzy integral. As a result of experimenting with 1,000 color images, the proposed method showed better precision and recall than the existing method.

Topographical images, in case of aerial or satellite images, are usually similar in colors and textures, and complex in shapes. Thus we have to use shape features of images for efficiently retrieving a query image from topographical image databases. In this paper, we propose a shape feature extraction method which is suitable for topographical images. This method, which improves the existing projection in the Cartesian coordinates, performs the projection operation in the polar coordinates. This method extracts three attributes, namely the number of region pixels, the boundary pixel length of the region from the centroid, the number of alternations between region and background, along each angular direction of the polar coordinates. It extracts the features of complex shape objects which may have holes and disconnected regions. An advantage of our method is that it is invariant to rotation/scale/translation of images. Finally we show the advantages of our method through experiments by comparing it with CSS which is one of the most successful methods in the area of shape feature extraction

A moving object has a various features that its spatial location, shape, and size are changed as time goes. In addition, the moving object has both temporal feature and spatial feature. It is one of the highly interested feature information in video data. In this paper, we propose an efficient content-based multimedia information retrieval system, so tailed ECoMOT which enables user to retrieve video data by using a trajectory information of moving objects in video data. The ECoMOT includes several novel techniques to achieve content-based retrieval using moving objects' trajectories : (1) Muitiple trajectory modeling technique to model the multiple trajectories composed of several moving objects; (2) Multiple similar trajectory retrieval technique to retrieve more similar trajectories by measuring similarity between a given two trajectories composed of several moving objects; (3) Superimposed signature-based trajectory indexing technique to effectively search corresponding trajectories from a large trajectory databases; (4) convenient trajectory extraction, query generation, and retrieval interface based on graphic user interface

This paper studies class-based turnover assignment rule in terms of the expected travel time in automated storage/retrieval systems (AS/RS). With the rack face not necessarily in square in time, travel time models of two and three-class systems are developed, from which class partition values are determined for single command cycle. Also, the effects of the system parameters such as the rack shape factor and the skewness of the ABC curve are evaluated on the travel time through example problems.

멀티미디어 검색을 위한 MPEG-7 표준화 작업이 완료되어감에 따라, 멀티미디어 특징 기술자를 활용한 다양한 응용들이 나타나고 있다. 본 논문에서는 미키 마우스, 포켓 몬스터 또는 호돌이와 같은 지적 재산 정보인 동시에 고부가가치 대상인 캐릭터 이미지를 대상으로 하여, 캐릭터 이미지 특징을 분석하고, MPEG-7 에서 정의된 컬러 기술들간의 검색 효율을 비교하여, 캐릭터 이미지에 가장 적합한 기술자를 제안한다. 캐릭터 이미지는 자연 이미지와는 달리, 질감(Texture)이나 모양 (Shape)정보에 비해, 주로 컬러 정보에 의존하며,존재하는 컬러의 수가 3-6 개 범위 내에 주로 존재하고, 컬러의 분포가 고르며, 질감 성분이 많지 않은 특징을 갖고 있다. MPEG-7 에 정의된 Dominant Color, Scalable Color, Color Layout 및 Color Structure 4 종류의 기술자를 캐릭터 이미지 특징에 맞는 기술자를 유형별로 분류된 3,834개의 이미지 셋에 적용하여, 검색 성능 평가 지수인 ANMRR(Average Normalized Modified Retrieval Rank) 를 측정하여 가장 효율적인 기술자를 정의한다.

본 논문에서는 이미지 검색을 위한 새로운 검색 기법을 제시한다. 기존의 특징기반 검색 기법이나 주석기반 검색 기법은 특징이나 주석에 대하여 색인 형태나 질의 형태가 동일하였다. 그러나, 제안하는 검색 기법은 위의 두 전형적인 검색기법을 혼합한 것으로, 텍스트로 질의하면 질의 텍스트를 질의처리를 통해 텍스트에 포함된 특징용어를 추출하고 특징용어를 이미지가 본질적으로 가지는 특징(color, shape, texture)으로 변환한 다음 그 특징을 질의로 이용하여 특징기반 검색을 하는 기법이다. 이러한 기법은 현재 사용자에게 친숙한 텍스트 질의를 유지할 수 있게 해 주며 앞으로 음성인식을 통한 음성 질의인터페이스가 적용될 경우 더욱 효과적으로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

In this paper, we propose a simple and efficient retrieval technique using the feature value of the corner region, which is one of the shape information attributes of images. The proposed algorithm extracts the edges and corner points of the image and rearranges the feature values of the corner regions doubly, and then measures the similarity with the image in the database using the correlation of these feature values as the feature vector. The proposed algorithm is confirmed to be more robust to rotation and size change than the conventional image retrieval method using the corner point.

In order to retrieve the rotated image within database by the content based image retrieval system, the algorithms with rotation robustness is usually applied in the procedure of the feature extraction. In that case, it requires much calculation time for feature extraction and much indexed data for feature indexing. Thus. in this paper. we propose the rotation robust algorithm using the block variance of the projected vector. The algorithm does not require additional calculation for feature extraction and is executed within query time by comparing the extracted data. Proposed method can be processed through database including various size of images with shape information and executed with fast response time in implementation.

In this paper, we proposed a content-based image retrieval system using the multi-Index key. The multi-index ky combines the color distribution considering the spatial characteristic and the shape features of an image using the edge detection. Consequently, the evaluation shows that the performance of the proposed technique is better than other techniques.

When we want to retrieve the most similar image from the image database, the color histogram intersection, shape feature and texture feature comparing method are used as a metric to measure the similarity. In order to increase the accuracy of retrievals, we need to integrate two different features. In this paper, the histogram intersection and shape based block histogram intersection method are used. This method results in a high efficient algorithm that meets a similar accuracy and a relatively fast retrieval speed compared to the method of integration of two different features. The Proposed algorithm is tested on retrievals of image database consisting of various 600 images and we implemented that the proposed algorithm gives fast, high efficiency and reliability compared to others.
