An Improved Histogram of Edge Local Orientations for Sketch-Based Image Retrieval
نویسندگان
چکیده
Content-based image retrieval requires a natural image (e.g, a photo) as query, but the absence of such a query image is usually the reason for a search. An easy way to express the user query is using a line-based hand-drawing, a sketch, leading to the sketch-based image retrieval. Few authors have addressed image retrieval based on a sketch as query, and the current approaches still keep low performance under scale, translation, and rotation transformations. In this paper, we describe a method based on computing efficiently a histogram of edge local orientations that we call HELO. Our method is based on a strategy applied in the context of fingerprint processing. This descriptor is invariant to scale and translation transformations. To tackle the rotation problem, we apply two normalization processes, one using principal component analysis and the other using polar coordinates. Finally, we linearly combine two distance measures. Our results show that HELO significantly increases the retrieval effectiveness in comparison with the state of the art.

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...
متن کاملQuery-by-Sketch Image Retrieval Using Edge Relation Histogram
In the Query-by-sketch image retrieval, feature extraction method is important, because the retrieval result depend on image feature. In this paper, we propose the query-by-sketch image retrieval using Edge Relation Histogram (ERH) as global and local feature. ERH focuses on the relation among edge pixels, and ERH is shift-, scale-, rotationand symmetry-invariant feature. This method was applie...

Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) has been an active research topic in the last decade. In this paper we proposed an image retrieval method using global and local features. Firstly, for local features extraction, SURF algorithm produces a set of interest points for each image and a set of 64-dimensional descriptors for each interest points and then to use Bag of Visual Words model, a cluster...

متن کاملDensity-Based Histogram Partitioning and Local Equalization for Contrast Enhancement of Images
Histogram Equalization technique is one of the basic methods in image contrast enhancement. Using this method, in the case of images with uniform gray levels (with narrow histogram), causes loss of image detail and the natural look of the image. To overcome this problem and to have a better image contrast enhancement, a new two-step method was proposed. In the first step, the image histogram is...
