Semantic Image Retrieval Through Human Subject Segmentation and Characterization

چکیده
Video databases can be searched for visual content by searching over automatically extracted key frames rather than the complete video sequence. Many video materials used in the humanities and social sciences contain a preponderance of shots of people. In this paper, we describe our work in semantic image retrieval of person-rich scenes (key frames) for video databases and libraries. We use an approach called retrieval through segmentation. A key-frame image is rst segmented into human subjects and background. We developed a specialized segmentation technique that utilizes both human esh-tone detection and contour analysis. Experimental results show that this technique can eeectively segment images in a low time complexity. Once the image has been segmented, we can then extract features or pose queries about both the people and the background. We propose a retrieval framework that is based on the segmentation results and the extracted features of people and background.

Semiautomatic Image Retrieval Using the High Level Semantic Labels
Content-based image retrieval and text-based image retrieval are two fundamental approaches in the field of image retrieval. The challenges related to each of these approaches, guide the researchers to use combining approaches and semi-automatic retrieval using the user interaction in the retrieval cycle. Hence, in this paper, an image retrieval system is introduced that provided two kind of qu...
متن کاملGraph Object Oriented Database for Semantic Image Retrieval
This paper presents a new method for image retrieval using a graph object oriented database for processing the information extracted from the image through the segmentation process and through the semantic interpretation of this information. The object oriented database schema is structured as a classes hierarchy based on graph data structure. A graph structure is used in all phases of the imag...

Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) has received considerable research interest in the recent years. The basic problem in CBIR is the semantic gap between the high-level image semantics and the low-level image features. Region-based image retrieval and learning from user interaction through relevance feedback are two main approaches to solving this problem. Recently, the research in integra...

Semantic image understanding is the basis of a well-performed image management system on a large database whereas current image representations are neither powerful nor semantic-based. In this paper, the human vision mechanism from psychological studies is employed in order to understand an image at a higher level by constructing a layered representation structure based on the image segmentatio...
