Efficient image retrieval using MPEG-7 descriptors
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a new method to calculate the similarity among images using Dominant Color Descriptor is discussed. Using Earth Mover’s Distance (EMD), better retrieval results can be obtained compared with those obtained from the original MPEG-7 reference software (XM) [1]. To further improve the retrieval accuracy, texture information from Edge Histogram Descriptor is added. In order to reduce the retrieval time, two different methods which can prune the images far from the query image are discussed. One is the lower bound of EMD, while the other is the M-tree index based on EMD distance. Experiments show that the lower bound is easier to implement and more efficient than the Mtree.

Using MPEG-7 Descriptors in Image Retrieval with Self-Organizing Maps
The MPEG-7 standard is emerging as both a general framework for content description and a collection of specific, agreed-upon content descriptors. We have developed a neural, self-organizing technique for content-based image retrieval. In this paper, we apply the visual content descriptors provided by MPEG-7 in our PicSOM system and compare our own image indexing technique with a reference meth...
متن کاملContent Based Radiographic Images Indexing and Retrieval Using Pattern Orientation Histogram
Introduction: Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is a method of image searching and retrieval in a database. In medical applications, CBIR is a tool used by physicians to compare the previous and current medical images associated with patients pathological conditions. As the volume of pictorial information stored in medical image databases is in progress, efficient image indexing and retri...
متن کاملSelf-organizing Image Retrieval with Mpeg-7 Descriptors
Development of content-based image retrieval techniques has suffered from the lack of standardized ways for describing visual image content. Luckily, MPEG-7 is now emerging as both a framework for content description and a collection of specific, agreed-upon content descriptors. We have developed a neural, self-organizing technique for content-based image retrieval in our image retrieval system...
متن کاملEvaluation and comparison of texture descriptors proposed in MPEG-7
Texture description contributes as one of the most important low-level features in content-based image retrieval. In MPEG-7, homogeneous texture descriptor (HTD), texture browsing descriptor (TBD), and edge histogram descriptor (EHD) have been proposed as texture descriptors. However, no comprehensive evaluation and comparison of these three descriptors have been made. In this paper, we propose...
متن کاملEvaluation of Features for Defect Image Retrieval
In this paper different feature descriptors are evaluated for content-based retrieval of defect images. Especially the visual descriptors of the MPEG-7 standard are of interest. The evaluation is done with a small, pre-classified defect image database using the K-nearest neighbor (KNN) classification. The best features are then applied to a contentbased image retrieval (CBIR) system called PicS...
