چکیده
* This work was funded by the National Program “YPER” by the General Secretariat of Research & Development of Greece entitled “Efficient Content-Based Image and Video Query and Retrieval in Multimedia Systems” ABSTRACT In this paper, a system for content-based image retrieval from video databases is introduced, using B-splines for affine invariant object representation. A small number of “keyframes” is extracted from each video sequence, which provide sufficient information about the video content. Color and motion segmentation and tracking is then employed for automatic extraction of video objects. A B-spline representation of the object contours is then obtained, which possesses important properties, such as smoothness, continuity and invariance under affine transformation. A neural network approach is used for supervised classification of video objects into prototype object classes. Finally, higher level classes can be constructed combining primary classes, providing the ability to obtain a high level of abstraction in the representation of each video sequence.

Affine Invariant Representation and Classification of Object Contours for Image and Video Retrieval
Recent literature comprises a large number of papers on the query and retrieval of visual information based on its content. At the same time, a number of prototype systems have been implemented enabling searching through on-line image databases and still image retrieval. However, it has been often pointed out that meaningful/semantic information should be extracted from visual information in or...
متن کاملImage Classification via Sparse Representation and Subspace Alignment
Image representation is a crucial problem in image processing where there exist many low-level representations of image, i.e., SIFT, HOG and so on. But there is a missing link across low-level and high-level semantic representations. In fact, traditional machine learning approaches, e.g., non-negative matrix factorization, sparse representation and principle component analysis are employed to d...
متن کاملA Radon-based Convolutional Neural Network for Medical Image Retrieval
Image classification and retrieval systems have gained more attention because of easier access to high-tech medical imaging. However, the lack of availability of large-scaled balanced labelled data in medicine is still a challenge. Simplicity, practicality, efficiency, and effectiveness are the main targets in medical domain. To achieve these goals, Radon transformation, which is a well-known t...
متن کاملImage Registration Exploiting Five-Point Coplanar Perspective Invariant and Maximum-Curvature Point
Image registrations have been a subject of extensive study over the last decade. They appear in numerous applications including Computer Vision, Pattern Recognition, Medical Image Analysis and Remotely Sensed Image Processing. We introduce a non-iterative geometric-based method to register an image using a novel set of geometric landmarks residing on an extracted 2D contours from the image. The...
متن کاملDiagnosis of brain tumor using image processing and determination of its type with RVM neural networks
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...
