Retrieving Landscape Images Using Scene Structural Matrix
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present Scene Structural Matrix (SSM) and apply it to the retrieval of landscape images. The SSM captures the overall structural characteristics of the scene by indexing the geometric features of the image. A binary image tree (bintree) is used to partition the image and from which we derive multi-resolution geometric structural descriptors of the image. It is shown that SSM is particularly effective in retrieving images with strong structural features, such as landscape photographs. We show that SSM is robust against spatial and spectral distortions thus making it superior to current state of the art techniques such as color correlogram in certain applications. We will also show that images retrieved by the SSM are more relevant than those returned by color correlogram and color histogram.

We introduce Scene Structural Matrix (SSM), a novel image content descriptor and its application to invariant image retrieval. The SSM captures the overall structural characteristics of the scene by indexing the geometric features of the image.

متن کاملAdapting Indexing Features to Scene Structures for Relevant Image Retrieval
Scene Structural matrices (SSMs) are 2-D tables that can be used conveniently to capture the organization of a scene in a color image when it has been adaptively partitioned and represented by a bintree. In this paper, we present a number of methods to populate the cells of SSMs. Well-established and popular image indexing features are used. Because the SSMs implicitly contain scene organizatio...
متن کاملInvariant Matching of Texture for Content-Based Image Retrieval
Texture-based image retrieval is a very di cult task, especially for retrieving images of natural scene. Such images contain multiple texture patterns that may vary in intensity, scale, and orientation but still look the same to humans. Existing methods have been successful in retrieving images that contain single uniform texture but their performance deteriorates when retrieving natural scene ...
متن کاملColor scene transform between images using Rosenfeld-Kak histogram matching method
In digital color imaging, it is of interest to transform the color scene of an image to the other. Some attempts have been done in this case using, for example, lαβ color space, principal component analysis and recently histogram rescaling method. In this research, a novel method is proposed based on the Resenfeld and Kak histogram matching algorithm. It is suggested that to transform the color...
