New Approach on the Techniques of Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) Using Color, Texture and Shape Features

Digital image collection as rapidly increased along with the development of computer network. Image retrieval system was developed purposely to provide an efficient tool for a set of images from a collection of images in the database that matches the user’s requirements in similarity evaluations such as image content similarity, edge, and color similarity. Retrieving images based on the content which is color, texture, and shape is called content based image retrieval (CBIR). The content is actually the feature of an image and these features are extracted and used as the basis for a similarity check between images. The algorithms used to calculate the similarity between extracted features. There are two kinds of content based image retrieval which are general image retrieval and application specific image retrieval. For the general image retrieval, the goal of the query is to obtain images with the same object as the query. Such CBIR imitates web search engines for images rather than for text. For application specific, the purpose tries to match a query image to a collection of images of a specific type such as fingerprints image and x-ray. In this paper, the general architecture, various functional components, and techniques of CBIR system are discussed. CBIR techniques discussed in this paper are categorized as CBIR using color, CBIR using texture, and CBIR using shape features. This paper also describe about the comparison study about color features, texture features, shape features, and combined features (hybrid techniques) in terms of several parameters. The parameters are precision, recall and response time.

An Efficient Deep Learning-based Content-based Image Retrieval Framework

The use of massive image databases has increased drastically over the few years due to evolution of multimedia technology.Image retrieval has become one of the vital tools in image processing applications.Content-Based Image Retrieval(CBIR)has been widely used in varied applications.But,the results produced by the usage of a single image feature are not satisfactory.So,multiple image features are used very often for attaining better results.But,fast and effective searching for relevant images from a database becomes a challenging task.In the previous existing system,the CBIR has used the combined feature extraction technique using color auto-correlogram,Rotation-Invariant Uniform Local Binary Patterns(RULBP)and local energy.However,the existing system does not provide significant results in terms of recall and precision.Also,the computational complexity is higher for the existing CBIR systems.In order to handle the above mentioned issues,the Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix(GLCM)with Deep Learning based Enhanced Convolution Neural Network(DLECNN)is proposed in this work.The proposed system framework includes noise reduction using histogram equalization,feature extraction using GLCM,similarity matching computation using Hierarchal and Fuzzy c-Means(HFCM)algorithm and the image retrieval using DLECNN algorithm.The histogram equalization has been used for computing the image enhancement.This enhanced image has a uniform histogram.Then,the GLCM method has been used to extract the features such as shape,texture,colour,annotations and keywords.The HFCM similarity measure is used for computing the query image vector's similarity index with every database images.For enhancing the performance of this image retrieval approach,the DLECNN algorithm is proposed to retrieve more accurate features of the image.The proposed GLCM+DLECNN algorithm provides better results associated with high accuracy,precision,recall,f-measure and lesser complexity.From the experimental results,it is clearly observed that the proposed system provides efficient image retrieval for the given query image.

Content-based Image Retrieval Using Color Histogram

This paper introduces the principles of using color histogram to match images in CBIR. And a prototype CBIR system is designed with color matching function. A new method using 2-dimensional color histogram based on hue and saturation to extract and represent color information of an image is presented. We also improve the Euclidean-distance algorithm by adding Center of Color to it. The experiment shows modifications made to Euclidean-distance signif-icantly elevate the quality and efficiency of retrieval.

Multi-core based parallel computing technique for content-based image retrieval

In this paper, we propose a parallel computing technique for content-based image retrieval （CBIR） system. This technique is mainly used for single node with multi-core processor, which is different from those based on cluster or network computing architecture. Due to its specific applications （such as medical image processing） and the harsh terms of hardware resource requirement, the CBIR system has been prevented from being widely used. With the increasing volume of the image database, the widespread use of multi-core processors, and the requirement of the retrieval accuracy and speed, we need to achieve a retrieval strategy which is based on multi-core processor to make the retrieval faster and more convenient than before. Experimental results demonstrate that this parallel architecture can significantly improve the performance of retrieval system. In addition, we also propose an efficient parallel technique with the combinations of the cluster and the multi-core techniques, which is supposed to gear to the new trend of the cloud computing.

A Content-Based Parallel Image Retrieval System on Cluster Architectures

We propose a content-based parallel image retrieval system to achieve high responding ability. Our system is developed on cluster architectures. It has several retrieval. servers to supply the service of content-based image retrieval. It adopts the Browser/Server (B/S) mode. The users could visit our system though web pages. It uses the symmetrical color-spatial features (SCSF) to represent the content of an image. The SCSF is effective and efficient for image matching because it is independent of image distortion such as rotation and flip as well as it increases the matching accuracy. The SCSF was organized by M-tree, which could speedup the searching procedure. Our experiments show that the image matching is quickly and efficiently with the use of SCSF. And with the support of several retrieval servers, the system could respond to many users at mean time.

Content-Based Image Retrieval：Near Tolerance Rough Set Approach

The problem considered in this paper is how to detect the degree of similarity in the content of digital images useful in image retrieval,i.e.,to what extent is the content of a query image similar to content of other images.The solution to this problem results from the detection of subsets that are rough sets contained in covers of digital images determined by perceptual tolerance relations(PTRs).Such relations are defined within the context of perceptual representative spaces that hearken back to work by J.H.Poincare on representative spaces as models of physical continua.Classes determined by a PTR provide content useful in content-based image retrieval(CBIR).In addition,tolerance classes provide a means of determining when subsets of image covers are tolerance rough sets(TRSs).It is the nearness of TRSs present in image tolerance spaces that provide a promising approach to CBIR,especially in cases such as satellite images or aircraft identification where there are subtle differences between pairs of digital images,making it difficult to quantify the similarities between such images.The contribution of this article is the introduction of the nearness of tolerance rough sets as an effective means of measuring digital image similarities and,as a significant consequence,successfully carrying out CBIR.

Colour Features Extraction Techniques and Approaches for Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) System

An image retrieval system was developed purposely to provide an efficient tool for a set of images from a collection of images in the large database that matches the user’s requirements in similarity evaluations such as image content similarity, edge, and colour similarity. Retrieving images based on the contents which are colour, texture, and shape is called content-based image retrieval (CBIR). This paper discusses and describes about the colour features technique for image retrieval systems. Several colour features technique and algorithms produced by the previous researcher are used to calculate the similarity between extracted features. This paper also describes about the specific technique about the colour basis features and combined features (hybrid techniques) between colour and shape features.

Image block feature vectors based on a singular-value information metric and color-texture description

In this work, image feature vectors are formed for blocks containing sufficient information, which are selected using a singular-value criterion. When the ratio between the first two SVs axe below a given threshold, the block is considered informative. A total of 12 features including statistics of brightness, color components and texture measures are used to form intermediate vectors. Principal component analysis is then performed to reduce the dimension to 6 to give the final feature vectors. Relevance of the constructed feature vectors is demonstrated by experiments in which k-means clustering is used to group the vectors hence the blocks. Blocks falling into the same group show similar visual appearances.

An Effective Image Retrieval Mechanism Using Family-based Spatial Consistency Filtration with Object Region

How to construct an appropriate spatial consistent measurement is the key to improving image retrieval performance. To address this problem, this paper introduces a novel image retrieval mechanism based on the family filtration in object region. First, we supply an object region by selecting a rectangle in a query image such that system returns a ranked list of images that contain the same object, retrieved from the corpus based on 100 images, as a result of the first rank. To further improve retrieval performance, we add an efficient spatial consistency stage, which is named family-based spatial consistency filtration, to re-rank the results returned by the first rank. We elaborate the performance of the retrieval system by some experiments on the dataset selected from the key frames of ＂TREC Video Retrieval Evaluation 2005 （TRECVID2005）＂. The results of experiments show that the retrieval mechanism proposed by us has vast major effect on the retrieval quality. The paper also verifies the stability of the retrieval mechanism by increasing the number of images from 100 to 2000 and realizes generalized retrieval with the object outside the dataset.

GLOBAL MEASURE ON IMAGE CONTENT

This paper investigated approaches to supporting effective and efficient retrieval of image based on principle component analysis. First, it extracted the image content, texture and color. Gabor wavelet transforms were used to extract texture feature of the image and the average color was used to extract the color features. The principle component of the feature vector of image can be constructed. Content based image retrieval was performed by comparing the feature vector of the query image with the projection feature vector of the image database on the principle component space of the query image. By this technique, it can reduce the dimensionality of feature vector, which in turn reduce the searching time.

AN IMAGE RETRIEVAL METHOD BASED ON SPATIAL DISTRIBUTION OF COLOR

Color histogram is now widely used in image retrieval. Color histogram-based image retrieval methods are simple and efficient but without considering the spatial distribution information of the color. To overcome the shortcoming of conventional color histogram-based image retrieval methods, an image retrieval method based on Radon Transform (RT) is proposed. In order to reduce the computational complexity, wavelet decomposition is used to compress image data. Firstly, images are decomposed by Mallat algorithm. The low-frequency components are then projected by RT to generate the spatial color feature. Finally the moment feature matrices which are saved along with original images are obtained. Experimental results show that the RT based retrieval is more accurate and efficient than traditional color histogram-based method in case that there are obvious objects in images. Further more, RT based retrieval runs significantly faster than the traditional color histogram methods.

Shift Invariance Level Comparison of Several Contourlet Transforms and Their Texture Image Retrieval Systems

In this paper, we proposed a metric to measure the shift invariance of the three different contourlet transforms. And then, using the same structure texture image retrieval system which use subband coefficients energy, standard deviation and kurtosis features with Canberra distance, we gave a comparison of their texture description abilities. Experimental results show that contourlet-2.3 texture image retrieval system has almost retrieval rates with non-sub sampled contourlet system;the two systems have better retrieval results than the original contourlet retrieval system. On the other hand, for the relatively lower redundancy, we recommend using contourlet- 2.3 as texture description transform.
