A novel indexing approach for multimedia image databases

چکیده
This paper proposes an algorithm for Content-based Image Indexing whose formulation of similarity is borrowed from methods for fractal compression. Unlike most traditional block-based image indexing algorithms, the proposed method employs dynamic programming to exploit inter-block dependencies. A regularization constraint is globally imposed, and the overall optimal transformation relating two images is e ciently determined by application of the Viterbi algorithm. Preliminary experimental results on a sample of eighty binary images from the MPEG-7 database are presented.

Content Based Radiographic Images Indexing and Retrieval Using Pattern Orientation Histogram
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 کاملAn Efficient Indexing and Search Technique for Multimedia Databases
We present a novel index-based approach for searching multimedia databases by content. Our approach integrates methods from classical full-text retrieval with the mathematical concept of groups acting on sets. This yields a flexible framework applicable to a wide range of content-based search problems such as audioor image-identification. We propose space-efficient indexing methods as well as v...
متن کاملShape Retrieval from Image Databases through Structural Feature Indexing
Efficient and robust information retrieval from large image databases is an essential functionality for the reuse, manipulation, and editing of multimedia documents. Structural feature indexing is a potential approach to efficient shape retrieval from large databases, but it is sensitive to noise, scales of observation, and local shape deformations. To improve the robustness, shape feature gene...
متن کاملIndexing and Searching of Image Data in Multimedia Databases Using Axial Projection
This paper introduces and studies new indexing techniques for content-based queries in images databases. Indexing is the key to providing sophisticated, accurate and fast searches for queries in image data. This research describes a new indexing approach, which depends on linear modeling of signals, using bases for modeling. A basis is a set of chosen images, and modeling an image is a least-sq...
متن کاملHierarchical linear subspace indexing method
Traditional multimedia indexing methods are based on the principle of hierarchical clustering of the data space where metric properties are used to build a tree that can then be used to prune branches while processing the queries. However, the performance of these methods will deteriorate rapidly when the dimensionality of the data space is increased. We describe a new hierarchical linear subsp...
