Classi cation-Driven Medical Image Retrieval

چکیده
We propose a novel image retrieval framework centered around classi cation-driven search for a weighted similarity metric for image retrieval. This approach is rmly rooted in Bayes decision theory. Given a well-de ned image set, we argue that image classi cation and image retrieval share fundamentally the same goal. Thus, the distance metric de ning a classi er that performs well on the image set should also generate good results when used as the similarity metric for image retrieval. In this paper we report our methodology and initial results on neuroradiological image retrieval, where the approximate bilateral symmetry of normal human brains is exploited.

Retrieval by Content in Symbolic-Image Databases
Two approaches for integrating images into the framework of a database management system are presented. The classi cation approach preprocesses all images and attaches a semantic classi cation and an associated certainty factor to each object found in the image. The abstraction approach describes each object in the image by using a vector consisting of the values of some of its features (e.g., ...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of the Nearest Feature Line Method in Image Classi cation and Retrieval
A new method, the nearest feature line (NFL) method, is used in image classi cation and retrieval, and its performance is evaluated and compared with other methods by extensive experiments. The NFL method is demonstrated to make eÆcient use of knowledge about multiple prototypes of a class to represent that class.
متن کاملDistributed Algorithms for Image Classification and Content-Based Retrieval using Image Classes
The recent phenomenal increases in the amounts of image data being generated and consumed in a variety of applications have necessitated the development of image databases. The richness of content, inexact nature, and subjective interpretations of images have rendered keyword-based queries inadequate. Thus image databases need to provide content-based queries and retrievals. Fast and accurate r...
متن کاملMulti-stage Classi cation of Images from Features and Related Text
The synergy of textual and visual information in Web documents provides great opportunity for improving the image indexing and searching capabilities of Web image search engines. We explore a new approach for automatically classifying images using image features and related text. In particular, we de ne a multi-stage classi cation system which progressively restricts the perceived class of each...
متن کاملA ne invariant classi cation and retrieval of texture images
In this paper, we propose a new method of extracting a ne invariant texture signatures for content-based a ne invariant image retrieval (CBAIR). The algorithm discussed in this paper exploits the spectral signatures of texture images. Based on spectral representation of a ne transform, anisotropic scale invariant signatures of orientation spectrum distributions are extracted. Peaks distribution...
