Image retrieval based on multi-texton histogram
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a novel image feature representation method, called multi-texton histogram (MTH), for image retrieval. MTH integrates the advantages of co-occurrence matrix and histogram by representing the attribute of co-occurrence matrix using histogram. It can be considered as a generalized visual attribute descriptor but without any image segmentation or model training. The proposed MTH method is based on Julesz’s textons theory, and it works directly on natural images as a shape descriptor. Meanwhile, it can be used as a color texture descriptor and leads to good performance. The proposed MTH method is extensively tested on the Corel dataset with 15 000 natural images. The results demonstrate that it is much more efficient than representative image feature descriptors, such as the edge orientation auto-correlogram and the texton co-occurrence matrix. It has good discrimination power of color, texture and shape features. Crown Copyright & 2010 Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Image Retrieval Using Multi Texton Co-occurrence Descriptor
Image retrieval system is one of a challenging topic and is not yet finalized. A number of features extraction methods has been proposed, for example Gray Level CoOccurrence Matrix (GLCM), Texton Co-Occurrence Histogram (TCM), Multi Texton Histogram (MTH), Micro Stucture Descriptor (MSD), Enhanced Micro Structure Descriptor (EMSD) and Color difference Histogram (CDH). However, the precision rat...
متن کاملImage Retrieval Using Multi Texton Co - Occurrence Descriptor
One of many method for image retrieval is Multi Texton Histogram (MTH) that incorporated feature extraction technique. Though the MTH is able to represent the image very well, it’s still has weaknesses. First, the MTH is only using local features to represent image. Second, in the process of pixel pair detection using texton, there is information missing that caused image representation may deg...
متن کاملRetrieving Images for Remote Sensing Applications
A unique way in which content based image retrieval (CBIR) for remote sensing differs widely from traditional CBIR is the widespread occurrences of weak textures. The task of representing the weak textures becomes even more challenging especially if image properties like scale, illumination or the viewing geometry are not known. In this work, we have proposed the use of a new feature ‘texton hi...
متن کاملContent 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...
