The field of medicine is often cited as an area for which content-based visual retrieval holds considerable promise. To date, very few visual image retrieval systems have been used in clinical practice; the first applications of image retrieval systems in medicine are currently being developed to complement conventional text-based searches. An image retrieval system was developed and integrated...

This paper describes a strategy for content-based image retrieval via spatial configuration of objects within an image. The proposed strategy locates “pattern” images within “text” images, where the objects in each image are specified only in terms of their pairwise spatial relationships. Thus both pattern and text are represented by square matrices whose elements are drawn from an “alphabet” o...

Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) is an alternative way to achieve effective image retrieval results that fulfill the user’s requirement when he/she search for image information from the Web. In this paper, we present a Malaysia’s travel destination images retrieval prototype application using moment geometry. In this prototype the effectiveness and the accuracy of the image retrieval proces...

DCU participated in the ImageCLEF 2008 photo retrieval task, submitting runs for both the English and Random language annotation conditions. Our approaches used text-based and image-based retrieval approaches to give baseline retrieval runs, with the highest-ranked images from these baseline runs clustered using K-Means clustering of the text annotations. Finally, each cluster was represented b...
