A Fast Image-Gathering System on the World-Wide Web Using a PC Cluster

چکیده
Thanks to the recent explosive progress of WWW (WorldWide Web), we can easily access a large number of images from WWW. There are, however, no established methods to make use of WWW as a large image database. In this paper, we describe an automatic imagegathering system from WWW, in which we use both keywords and image features. By exploiting some existing keyword-based search engines and selecting images by their image features, our system obtains, with high accuracy, images that are strongly related to query keywords. This system has been implemented on a parallel PC cluster, which enables us to gather more than one hundred images from WWW in about one minute.

متن کاملAn Experiment on Generic Image Classification Using Web Images
In this paper, we describe an experiment on generic image classification using a large number of images gathered from the Web as learning images. The processing consists of three steps. In the gathering stage, a system gathers images related to given class keywords from the Web automatically. In the learning stage, it extracts image features from gathered images and associates them with each cl...
متن کاملImage collector II: a system for gathering more than one thousand images from the Web for one keyword
We propose a system that enables us to gather more than one thousand images from the World Wide Web. The system is called Image Collector II. The Image Collector, which we proposed previously, can gather only several hundreds images. We made the two following improvements to extend the ability of our previous system in terms of the number of gathered images and their precision: (1) We extracted...
متن کاملA Technique for Improving Web Mining using Enhanced Genetic Algorithm
World Wide Web is growing at a very fast pace and makes a lot of information available to the public. Search engines used conventional methods to retrieve information on the Web; however, the search results of these engines are still able to be refined and their accuracy is not high enough. One of the methods for web mining is evolutionary algorithms which search according to the user interests...
متن کاملWeb Image Mining: Can We Gather Visual Knowledge for Image Recognition from the Web ?
Because of the wide spread of digital imaging devices and the World Wide Web, we can easily obtain digital images of various kinds of real world scenes. Currently, however, classification/recognition of generic real world images is far from practical due to a diversity of real world scenes. To deal with such diversity, we have proposed gathering real world images from the World-Wide Web and usi...
