New image retrieval paradigm: logical composition of region categories
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a novel framework for intelligent search and retrieval by image content composition. Very different from the existing Query-by-Example paradigm, logical queries are expressed using categories of similar regions without any starting example region. The set of region category representatives constitutes the “photometric region thesaurus” of the image database. Logical composition of region categories expresses the presence and absence of certain types of regions in images to retrieve and allows to integrate visual semantics in the search. Resulting indexing and retrieval implementation turns out to be simple and very fast even on very complex query compositions and large image database. It was tested on a database of 9,995 images from the Corel Photostock.

Logical Query Composition from Local Visual Feature Thesaurus
We present a novel framework for intelligent search and retrieval by image region composition. Unlike traditional Query-by-Example paradigm, no starting example image is used : the user provides its mental representation of target image by means of a region photometric thesaurus. It gives an overview of the database content in the query interface. Unsupervised generation of this thesaurus is ba...
متن کاملWhat's beyond query by example?
Over the last ten years, the crucial problem of information retrieval in multimedia documents has boosted research activities in the field of visual appearance indexing and retrieval by content. In the early research years, the concept of the “query by visual example” (QBVE) has been proposed and shown to be relevant for visual information retrieval. It is obvious that QBVE is not able to satis...

Content-based image retrieval has been widely addressed through global visual similarity search in the context of Query By Visual Example (QBVE) paradigm. QBVE can also be achieved with Region-Of Interest (ROI) query that retrieves either similar relevant large regions or similar set of points denoting of a detail in the image. A new recent Query By Visual Thesaurus paradigm categorizes the dat...

Background and Aim: Image, as a kind of information vehicle which can convey a large volume of information, is important especially in medicine field. Existence of different attributes of image features and various search algorithms in medical image retrieval systems and lack of an authority to evaluate the quality of retrieval systems, make a systematic review in medical image retrieval system...
متن کاملImage Retrieval by Range Query Composition of Region Categories
In this paper, we present an original and new framework to allow complex multiple regions queries based on composition of regions categories. This problematic has merely not been addressed in the litterature even though it corresponds to photo-agency usage scenario. We rst present the image segmentation technique speciically designed for image retrieval by regions based on the clustering of Loc...
