Combining Textual and Visual Cues for Content-based Image Retrieval on the World Wide Web
نویسندگان
چکیده
A system is proposed that combines textual and visual statistics in a single index vector for content-based search of a WWW image database. Textual statistics are captured in vector form using latent semantic indexing (LSI) based on text in the containing HTML document. Visual statistics are captured in vector form using color and orientation histograms. By using an integrated approach, it becomes possible to take advantage of possible statistical couplings between the content of the document (latent semantic content) and the contents of images (visual statistics). The combined approach allows improved performance in conducting content-based search. Search performance experiments are reported for a database containing 100,000 images collected from the WWW.

متن کاملDiscovering Image-Text Associations for Cross-Media Web Information Fusion
The diverse and distributed nature of the information published on the World Wide Web has made it difficult to collate and track information related to specific topics. Whereas most existing work on web information fusion has focused on multiple document summarization, this paper presents a novel approach for discovering associations between images and text segments, which subsequently can be u...
متن کاملExtraction of Web Image Information: Semantic or Visual Cues?
Text based approaches for web image information retrieval have been exploited for many years, however the noisy textual content of the web pages makes their task challenging. Moreover, text based systems that retrieve information from textual sources such as image file names, anchor texts, existing keywords and, of course, surrounding text often share the inability to correctly assign all relev...
متن کاملA Unified Approach to Indexing Multimedia on the Web
Indexing multimedia Web documents can be regarded as an important part of Web engineering, a concept first proposed [19] by one of the authors and his collaborators in 1998 at the World Wide Web WWW7 conference in Brisbane, Australia. Contentbased indexing of multimedia has always been a challenging task. The enormity and diversity of the multimedia content on the World Wide Web (WWW) adds anot...
متن کاملQuery by Sketch and Relevance Feedback for Content-Based Image Retrieval over the Web
Content based Image retrieval systems are being actively investigated thanks to their ability to retrieve images based on the actual visual content rather than by manually associated textual descriptions. This paper considers the issues related to the porting of such systems to the World Wide Web and proposes some ways to solve them. To substantiate our ideas we propose a web-based image retrie...
