Fast Signature-Based Color-Spatial Image Retrieval
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a novel method of retrieving images based on color-spatial information. For each image, its color-spatial information is compactly captured by a set of color signatures and an image signature. During the image retrieval process, the color and image signatures of the query image and those of the database images are compared to determine the set of candidate images to be retrieved. In particulal; our similarity measure takes into account contributions of colors that are perceptually similal; and the weightage on the object colors. To speed up the retrieval process, we also propose a Jiltering mechanism that employs a simple similarity measure to prune away irrelevant images quickly, before computing the more complex similarity measure on potential candidate images. We implemented the proposed method and conducted an experimental study on an image database consisting of 12,000 images. Our results show the retrieval effectiveness and efJiciency of the proposed color-spatial approach.

Image retrieval is an important research field which has received great attention in the last decades. In this paper, we present an approach for the image retrieval based on the combination of text-based and content-based features. For text-based features, keywords and for content-based features, color and texture features have been used. Query in this system contains some keywords and an input...

In a color-spatial retrieval technique, the color information is integrated with the knowledge of the colors’ spatial distribution to facilitate content-based image retrieval. Several techniques have been proposed in the literature, but these works have been developed independently without much comparison. In this paper, we present a preliminary evaluation of three such colorspatial retrieval t...
متن کاملExpert system for color image retrieval
Recently, as Web and various databases contain a large number of images, content-based image retrieval (CBIR) applications are greatly needed. This paper proposes a new image retrieval system using color-spatial information from those applications. First, this paper suggests two kinds of indexing keys to prune away irrelevant images to a given query image: major colors’ set (MCS) signature rela...
متن کاملThe Multimodal Neighborhood Signature for Modeling Object Color Appearance and Applications in Object Recognition and Image Retrieval
We propose a general-purpose color-based object model called the Multimodal Neighborhood Signature (MNS) with applications in object recognition and image retrieval. Object modeling is example-based and can cope with many appearance variations due to the image formation/rendering process. The local nature of the color representation facilitates robustness to occlusion and clutter. Unlike other ...
