The use of psychological similarity measure for queries in image databases

چکیده
With complex multimedia data, we see the emergence of database systems in which the fundamental operation is similarity assessment. Before database issues can be addressed, it is necessary to give a definition of similarity as an operation. In this paper we study several models proposed in the psychological literature to explain the characteristics of human similarity assessment, and discuss their computational characteristics. In addition, we develop a similarity measure, based on fuzzy logic, that exhibit several features that match experimental findings in humans. The model is dubbed Fuzzy Feature Contrast (FFC) and is an extension to a more general domain of the Feature Contrast model due to Tversky. We show how the FFC model can be used to model similarity assessment from fuzzy judgment of properties, and we address the use of fuzzy measures to deal with dependencies among the properties. Finally, we show how the parameters of the model can be tuned by comparative judgment experiments.

A Novel Image Structural Similarity Index Considering Image Content Detectability Using Maximally Stable Extremal Region Descriptor
The image content detectability and image structure preservation are closely related concepts with undeniable role in image quality assessment. However, the most attention of image quality studies has been paid to image structure evaluation, few of them focused on image content detectability. Examining the image structure was firstly introduced and assessed in Structural SIMilarity (SSIM) measu...
متن کاملSimilarity Queries in Image Databases
Query-by-content image database will be based on similarity, rater than on matching, where similarity is a measure that is deened and meaningful for every pair of images in the image space. Since it is the human user that, in the end, has to be satissed with the results of the query, it is natural to base the similarity measure that we will use on the characteristics of human similarity assessm...

Optimizing the database queries is one of hard research problems. Exhaustive search techniques like dynamic programming is suitable for queries with a few relations, but by increasing the number of relations in query, much use of memory and processing is needed, and the use of these methods is not suitable, so we have to use random and evolutionary methods. The use of evolutionary methods, beca...
متن کاملEvaluation of Similarity Measures for Template Matching
Image matching is a critical process in various photogrammetry, computer vision and remote sensing applications such as image registration, 3D model reconstruction, change detection, image fusion, pattern recognition, autonomous navigation, and digital elevation model (DEM) generation and orientation. The primary goal of the image matching process is to establish the correspondence between two ...
متن کاملDocument Image Retrieval Based on Layout Structural Similarity
In this paper, we describe issues related to the measurement of structural similarity between document images. We define structural similarity, and discuss the benefits of using it as a complement to content similarity for querying document image databases. We present an approach to computing a geometrically invariant structural similarity, and use this measure to search document image database...
