چکیده
This paper describes our participation in the Medical Image Retrieval task of Image CLEF 2008. Our aim was to evaluate different combination methods for purely textual and visual approaches. Our most interesting conclusion is that combining results provided by both methods using classical combination function allows to obtain higher retrieval accuracy in terms of MAP . MAP values than combination according to query type. Moreover, it is more reliable than using only textual retrieval or using only visual retrieval.

Content-based image retrieval and text-based image retrieval are two fundamental approaches in the field of image retrieval. The challenges related to each of these approaches, guide the researchers to use combining approaches and semi-automatic retrieval using the user interaction in the retrieval cycle. Hence, in this paper, an image retrieval system is introduced that provided two kind of qu...

Introduction: Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is a method of image searching and retrieval in a database. In medical applications, CBIR is a tool used by physicians to compare the previous and current medical images associated with patients pathological conditions. As the volume of pictorial information stored in medical image databases is in progress, efficient image indexing and retri...
متن کاملFIRE in ImageCLEF 2005: Combining Content-based Image Retrieval with Textual Information Retrieval
In this paper the methods we used in the 2005 ImageCLEF content-based image retrieval evaluation are described. For the medical retrieval task, we combined several low-level image features with textual information retrieval. Combining these two information sources, clear improvements over the use of one of these sources alone are possible. Additionally we participated in the automatic annotatio...

متن کاملCombining Textual and Visual Information for Image Retrieval in the Medical Domain
In this article we have assembled the experience obtained from our participation in the imageCLEF evaluation task over the past two years. Exploitation on the use of linear combinations for image retrieval has been attempted by combining visual and textual sources of images. From our experiments we conclude that a mixed retrieval technique that applies both textual and visual retrieval in an in...
