An unsupervised learning approach to content-based image retrieval

چکیده
”Semantic gap” is an open challenging problem in content-based image retrieval. It reflects the discrepancy between low-level imagery features used by the retrieval algorithm and high-level concepts required by system users. This paper introduces a novel image retrieval scheme, CLUster-based rEtrieval of images by unsupervised learning (CLUE), to tackle the semantic gap problem. CLUE is built on a hypothesis that images of the same semantics tend to be clustered. It attempts to narrow the semantic gap by retrieving image clusters based on not only the feature similarity of images to the query, but also how images are similar to each other. CLUE has been tested using examples from a database of about 60, 000 general-purpose images. Empirical results demonstrate the effectiveness of CLUE.

Image retrieval is an important research field which has received great attention in the last decades. In this paper, we present an approach for the image retrieval based on the combination of text-based and content-based features. For text-based features, keywords and for content-based features, color and texture features have been used. Query in this system contains some keywords and an input...

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...
