Access and Retrieval from Image Databases Using Image Thumbnails
نویسنده
چکیده
The emerging role of thumbnail images in the selection of images for display from large image databases and via network access requires that the characteristics of thumbnails be seriously studied. We introduce a measure of effective compression Ceff(p) that is a function of the probability p that thumbnail access will be followed by the display of a full-scale image. For credible values of p, we deduce the need for the development of thumbnail-based image compression schemes, which efficiently and effectively use thumbnail data as part of the code for the full-scale image. We briefly discuss design features of thumbnail-based variants of the block-oriented coding schemes of vector quantization, fractal coding, and JPEG.

متن کاملSpatial color image retrieval without segmentation using thumbnails and the Earth Mover's Distance
We introduce a spatial color image retrieval method which does not include any segmentation step. This method relies on small image thumbnails and the Earth Mover’s Distance (EMD). We then derive an unsupervised matching criterion using an a contrario approach. Experiments are performed on a database of illuminated manuscripts.
