GalSOM - Colour-Based Image Browsing and Retrieval with Tree-Structured Self-Organising Maps
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes an image browsing and retrieval application called GalSOM. Bitmap images are described by their colour histograms and sorted using an improved variant of the tree-structured self-organising map (TS-SOM) algorithm. The advantages of using such a system are discussed in detail, and their application to the problem of image theft detection is proposed.

Content based image retrieval using tree-structured self-organizing maps
Content-based image retrieval systems are designed to provide effective access to image databases, based on their visual contents and according to a given criteria. This paper focuses the image searching based on descriptors automatically extracted from the images. It is presented a scheme that decomposes the image collection in a hierarchy of clusters using tree-structured selforganizing maps....
متن کاملSelf-organising Maps for Change Detection and Monitoring of Human Activity in Satellite Imagery
Self-Organising Maps (SOMs) have been successfully applied to content-based image retrieval (CBIR). In this study, we investigate the potential of PicSOM, an image database browsing system, applied to remote sensing images. Databases of small images were artificially created, either from a single satellite image for object detection, or two satellite images when considering change detection. By...
متن کاملSelf-Organising Maps for Hierarchical Tree View Document Clustering Using Contextual Information
In this paper we propose an effective method to cluster documents into a dynamically built taxonomy of topics, directly extracted from the documents. We take into account short contextual information within the text corpus, which is weighted by importance and used as input to a set of independently spun growing Self-Organising Maps (SOM). This work shows an increase in precision and labelling q...
متن کاملA Video Browsing Application Based on Visual MPEG-7 Descriptors and Self-Organising Maps
The paper introduces a novel approach for interactive video browsing that makes video content fully transparent to the user. Video clips are analysed and indexed by two tree structures: a content index tree representing the content of automatically segmented video shots and a time index tree representing the temporal structure. The index top levels give an overview over the entire content. Subs...
متن کاملInverse Method for the Retrieval of Ocean Vertical Profiles using Self Organizing Maps and Hidden Markov Models - Application on Ocean Colour Satellite Image Inversion
This paper presents a statistical inversion method used to infer 3D data from 2D imaging. The methodology is based on a combination of the Self Organising Maps and the Hidden Markov Models. The SelfOrganising Maps generate the typical situations of the emissions and the hidden states of the Hidden Markov Model. The method has been validated by inferring the oceanic vertical profiles of Chloroph...
