How Useful are Colour Invariants for Image Retrieval?

نویسنده

  • Gerald Schaefer
چکیده

The images captured by a digital camera do not depend only on the characteristics of the objects in the scene but also on the colour of the scene illumination. To account for this confounding influence various colour invariants have been introduced whose aim is to provide descriptors that do not change with a change in light. In this paper we evaluate the usefulness of these invariants for general purpose content-based image retrieval. The results show that the application of invariants may lead to a severe degradation in retrieval performance.

Image Retrieval Based on Colour and Nonlinear Texture Invariants

Among other techniques especially methods working fully automatically are of interest for image retrieval from large databases. Colour histograms proved to be successful in automatic image retrieval, however, their drawback is that all structural information is lost. Therefore we extend the colour histogram approach by features that take into account the relations within a local pixel neighbour...

Colour-based Image Retrieval from Video Sequences

The multimodal neighbourhood signature (MNS) algorithm represents local object appearance by stable colour-based invariants efficiently computed from image neighbourhoods with multimodal colour density function. Local feature extraction facilitates region-based interactive query specification and computation of illumination invariant features. The method allows for fast signature matching and s...

Content-Based Image Retrieval: Advanced Topics

Image collections are growing at a rapid rate, motivating the need for efficient and effective tools to search through these databases. Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) techniques extract features directly from image data and use these to query image collections. In this paper, we focus on some more advanced issues in CBIR, namely the extraction of image features from compressed images, the...

Performance Evaluation of Medical Image Retrieval Systems Based on a Systematic Review of the Current Literature

Background and Aim: Image, as a kind of information vehicle which can convey a large volume of information, is important especially in medicine field. Existence of different attributes of image features and various search algorithms in medical image retrieval systems and lack of an authority to evaluate the quality of retrieval systems, make a systematic review in medical image retrieval system...

Performance evaluation of local colour invariants

In this paper, we compare local colour descriptors to grey-value descriptors. We adopt the evaluation framework of Mikolayzcyk and Schmid. We modify the framework in several ways. We decompose the evaluation framework to the level of local grey-value invariants on which common region descriptors are based. We compare the discriminative power and invariance of grey-value invariants to that of co...
