Fuzzy Clustering Paradigm and the Shape-Based Image Retrieval
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a strategy for shape-based image retrieval in which moment invariants form a feature vector to describe the shape of an object. Fuzzy k-means clustering is used to group similar images in an image collection into k-clusters whereas neural network is used to facilitate efficient retrieval of similar images against a given user-provided query image. Retrieval results and performance of the proposed scheme are compared with a setup involving k-means clustering.

Neuro-Fuzzy based Image Retrieval System with Improved Shape and Texture Features
A generalized Neuro-Fuzzy based Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) system is proposed. The system is trained for colour, texture and shape features using General Fuzzy Min-Max Neural Network (GFMNN). Flexibility and robustness is achieved by accepting any number and types of different input features as well with the concept of class labels assigned for each hyperbox. The existing architecture...
متن کاملA Multiresolution Fuzzy Clustering of Images
A wavelet based multiresolution fuzzy clustering of digital images is described. We have applied wavelet transforms to decompose the images into different subbands in multiple resolutions, thereby eliminating noise in each low frequency subband. Then a partitive fuzzy clustering technique is proposed to be applied in multiple resolutions of the transformed image, in order to find coarser to fin...
متن کاملA Robust Color Object Analysis Approach to Efficient Image Retrieval
We describe a novel indexing and retrieval methodology integrating color, texture, and shape information for content-based image retrieval in image databases. This methodology, we call CLEAR, applies unsupervised image segmentation to partition an image into a set of objects. Fuzzy color histogram, fuzzy texture, and fuzzy shape properties of each object are then calculated to be its signature....

Image database sizes have increased enormously in the recent years due to the development of the technology which has developed the need for Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) system. In this study a CBIR system that allows searching and retrieves images from the databases is developed using the fuzzy c-means algorithm and K-means clustering, the system uses the low level features like color,...
متن کاملImage Segmentation: Type–2 Fuzzy Possibilistic C-Mean Clustering Approach
Image segmentation is an essential issue in image description and classification. Currently, in many real applications, segmentation is still mainly manual or strongly supervised by a human expert, which makes it irreproducible and deteriorating. Moreover, there are many uncertainties and vagueness in images, which crisp clustering and even Type-1 fuzzy clustering could not handle. Hence, Type-...
