Selecting Features for Neural Networks to Aid an Iconic Search through an Image Database
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper a method that facilitates an iconic query of an image/video database is presented. A query object is characterised by colour and texture properties. A feed-forward neural network is then trained on these features using the conjugate gradient-descent algorithm. The same characteristics are computed locally for the database images. The trained neural network is then used to test for the similarity between the iconically speciied query and the database image descriptors. We show that by carefully selecting the set of descriptors we can signiicantly reduce the network size whilst not aaecting the quality of results obtained.

A Comparison of Colour Texture Attributes Selected
In this paper two methods for selecting input features for a neural network used to aid iconic retrieval in an image database are presented and compared. The rst method involves training the network on all the feature inputs and then analysing the weight values in an attempt to nd the more important input features. The second borrows a method from statistical feature selection known as the sequ...

Typically, the diagnosis of a tumor is done through surgical sampling, which is more precise with existing methods. The difference is that this is an aggressive, time consuming and expensive way. In the statistical method, due to the complexity of the brain tissues and the similarity between the cancerous cells and the natural tissues, even a radiologist or an expert physician may also be in er...

Nowadays, with huge progress in digital imaging, new image processing methods are needed to manage digital images stored on disks. Image retrieval has been one of the most challengeable fields in digital image processing which means searching in a big database in order to represent similar images to the query image. Although many efficient researches have been performed for this topic so far, t...
