چکیده

Region-based approach has become a popular research trend in the field of multimedia database retrieval. In this paper, we present the Region Frequency and Inverse Picture Frequency (RF*IPF) weighting, a measure developed to unify region-based multimedia retrieval systems with textbased information retrieval systems. The weighting measure gives the highest weight to regions that occur often in a small number of images in the database. These regions are considered discriminators. With this weighting measure, we can blend image retrieval techniques with TF*IDFbased text retrieval techniques for large-scale Web applications. The RF*IPF weighting has been implemented as a part of our experimental SIMPLIcity image retrieval system and tested on a database of about 200,000 general-purpose images. Experiments have shown that this technique is effective in discriminating images of different semantics. Additionally, the overall similarity approach enables a simple querying interface for multimedia information retrieval systems.

From Text to Images: Weighting Schemes for Image Retrieval

Bags of visual words are the most studied image description technique in the last years. This representation of images raised new possibilities as well as new research issues. In particular, it is important to automatically determine which visual words are the most relevant to describe the images, and which ones should be ignored. This issue is a classical problem of textual information retriev...

Image Retrieval Using Dynamic Weighting of Compressed High Level Features Framework with LER Matrix

In this article, a fabulous method for database retrieval is proposed.  The multi-resolution modified wavelet transform for each of image is computed and the standard deviation and average are utilized as the textural features. Then, the proposed modified bit-based color histogram and edge detectors were utilized to define the high level features. A feedback-based dynamic weighting of shap...

Inverse Category Frequency based supervised term weighting scheme for text categorization

Term weighting schemes often dominate the performance of many classifiers, such as kNN, centroid-based classifier and SVMs. The widely used term weighting scheme in text categorization, i.e., tf.idf, is originated from information retrieval (IR) field. The intuition behind idf for text categorization seems less reasonable than IR. In this paper, we introduce inverse category frequency (icf) int...

A new relevance feedback approach for multimedia retrieval

Compared to most traditional search engines, information retrieval systems have been devoted in the past few years to relevance feedback (RF). With RF, the user can indicate which documents he finds relevant to his search. RF is an effective solution to improve performance of information retrieval, particularly in multimedia retrieval (image, video). In this paper we propose a new approach to r...
