Perceptual grouping of natural images for CBIR
نویسندگان
چکیده
In current developments of CBIR system, it is desirable to design a computer program that can index the content of an image automatically into a set of perceptually significant components. Results from existing image segmentation techniques are not sufficient to represent the content of an image. Further grouping is required to produce more meaningful segmentation. This paper describes our approach to implement Gestalt principles for region grouping. Results from image segmentation are further grouped into regions representing major components of image content. ___________ .____ . . ,

Content Based Image Retrieval Using Semantic Grouping and Linear Discriminant Analysis
The biggest problem in content-based image retrieval (CBIR) is bridging the gap between low-level features and high-level semantics. Relevance feedback is a popular method for incorporating semantic information in CBIR. This paper discusses an improvement upon a relevance feedback approach that utilizes semantic grouping and linear discriminant analysis to close the gap between lowlevel feature...
متن کاملEcological Statistics of Contour Grouping
The Gestalt laws of perceptual organization were originally conceived as qualitative principles, intrinsic to the brain. In this paper, we develop quantitative models for these laws based upon the statistics of natural images. In particular, we study the laws of proximity, good continuation and similarity as they relate to the perceptual organization of contours. We measure the statistical powe...
متن کاملTopology-preserving perceptual segmentation using the Combinatorial Pyramid
Scene understanding and other high-level visual tasks usually rely on segmenting the captured images for dealing with a more efficient mid-level representation. Although this segmentation stage will consider topological constraints for the set of obtained regions (e.g., their internal connectivity), it is typical that the importance of preserving the topological relationships among regions will...
متن کاملApplying Perceptual Grouping to Content-Based Image Retrieval: Building Images
This paper presents an application of perceptual grouping rules for content-based image retrieval. The semantic interrelationships between different primitive image features are exploited by perceptual grouping to detect the presence of manmade structures. A methodology based on these principles in a Bayesian framework for the retrieval of building images, and the results obtained are presented...
