Flexible Retrieval of X-Ray Images Based on Shape Descriptors Using a Fuzzy Object-Relational Database
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a novel approach for medical image storage using a Fuzzy Object-Relational Database Management System (FORDBMS). The system stores medical images along with a set of parameters describing their content. Flexible queries can be performed over these parameters to retrieve images matching visually. To illustrate the capabilities of the FORDBMS, parameter curves are obtained from X-Ray images of patients suffering from scoliosis, and queries are performed when looking for images with a determined curve pattern. Results show that retrieved images visually match the condition established in the query. Keywords— Image Retrieval, Fuzzy Databases

An Approach to Image Retrieval on Fuzzy Object-Relational Databases using Dominant Color Descriptors
In this paper we introduce a fuzzy approach for image retrieval based on color features. Our method deals with two problems related to imprecision: the vagueness in the color description and the representation of fuzzy data in database models. To face the first problem, the concept of dominant fuzzy color is introduced to describe the image, using linguistic labels for representing the color in...
متن کاملRetrieving images in fuzzy object-relational databases using dominant color descriptors
In this paper a fuzzy approach for image retrieval on the basis of color features is presented. The proposal deals with vagueness in the color description and introduces the use of fuzzy database models to store and retrieve imprecise data. To face the color description, the concept of dominant fuzzy color is proposed, using linguistic labels for representing the color information in terms of h...
متن کاملA new shape retrieval method using the Group delay of the Fourier descriptors
In this paper, we introduced a new way to analyze the shape using a new Fourier based descriptor, which is the smoothed derivative of the phase of the Fourier descriptors. It is extracted from the complex boundary of the shape, and is called the smoothed group delay (SGD). The usage of SGD on the Fourier phase descriptors, allows a compact representation of the shape boundaries which is robust ...

متن کاملبازیابی مبتنی بر شکل اجسام با توصیفگرهای بدست آمده از فرآیند رشد کانتوری
In this paper, a novel shape descriptor for shape-based object retrieval is proposed. A growing process is introduced in which a contour is reconstructed from the bounding circle of the shape. In this growing process, circle points move toward the shape in normal direction until they get to the shape contour. Three different shape descriptors are extracted from this process: the first descript...
