FIRE - Flexible Image Retrieval Engine: ImageCLEF 2004 Evaluation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe FIRE, a content-based image retrieval system, and the methods we used within this system in the ImageCLEF 2004 evaluation. In FIRE, various features are available to represent images. The diversity of available features allows the user to adapt the system to the task at hand. A weighted combination of features admits flexible query formulations and helps with processing specific queries. For the ImageCLEF 2004 evaluation, we used the image content alone and obtained the best result in the category “only visual features, fully automatic retrieval” in the medical retrieval task. Additionally, the results compare favorably to other systems, even if they make use of the textual information in addition to the images.

FIRE in ImageCLEF 2005: Combining Content-based Image Retrieval with Textual Information Retrieval
In this paper the methods we used in the 2005 ImageCLEF content-based image retrieval evaluation are described. For the medical retrieval task, we combined several low-level image features with textual information retrieval. Combining these two information sources, clear improvements over the use of one of these sources alone are possible. Additionally we participated in the automatic annotatio...
متن کاملThe CLEF 2004 Cross-Language Image Retrieval Track
The purpose of this paper is to outline efforts from the 2004 CLEF cross–language image retrieval campaign (ImageCLEF). The aim of this CLEF track is to explore the use of both text and content–based retrieval methods for cross–language image retrieval. Three tasks were offered in the ImageCLEF track: a TREC–style ad-hoc retrieval task, retrieval from a medical collection, and a user–centered (...
متن کاملSMIRE: Similar Medical Image Retrieval Engine
This paper aims at finding images that are similar to a medical image example query. We propose several image features based on wavelet coefficients, including color histogram, gray-spatial histogram, coherence moment, and gray correlogram, to facilitate the retrieval of similar medical images. The initial retrieval results are obtained via visual feature analysis. An automatic feedback mechani...

This paper describes the participation of the IPL team in the ImageCLEF-2010 campaign. Our research group has participated in the ad hoc task the case-based and the modality tasks of image retrieval based only on textual data. To reach our aim we performed a quantitative evaluation of Lucene search engine using several state of the art similarity functions. Our runs performed moderately well us...
متن کاملFIRE in ImageCLEF 2007
We present the methods we applied in the four different tasks of the ImageCLEF 2007 content-based image retrieval evaluation. We participated in all four tasks using a variety of methods. Global and local image descriptors are applied using nearest neighbour search for the medical and photo retrieval tasks and discriminative models for the object retrieval and the medical automatic annotation t...
