Image Browsing using Hierarchical Clustering
نویسندگان
چکیده
Digital images and video clips are becoming popular due to the increase in the availability of consumer devices that capture digital images and video clips. Digital content is also growing over the Internet. The increase of the digital content creates a need for userfriendly tools to browse through large volumes of digital material. In this paper we present a clustering based browsing algorithm. Images are automatically clustered using a hierarchical clustering algorithm and users can then browse through the images by navigating the tree structure that results from the clustering. We have tested the algorithm on a large number of images.

Grid-based Clustering in the Content-based Organization of Large Image Databases
In the image databases, there is often a need to organize the images automatically by their content. For the content-based organization of the images, clustering operations can be applied. We present a new, efficient method for the clustering of large image databases. The method is based on hierarchical clustering of the image database using grid. In this paper, the grid-based clustering method...
متن کاملRobust Method for E-Maximization and Hierarchical Clustering of Image Classification
We developed a new semi-supervised EM-like algorithm that is given the set of objects present in eachtraining image, but does not know which regions correspond to which objects. We have tested thealgorithm on a dataset of 860 hand-labeled color images using only color and texture features, and theresults show that our EM variant is able to break the symmetry in the initial solution. We compared...
متن کاملMultilinearization data structure for image browsing
Image search has been actively studied in recent years. On the other hands, image browsing has received little attention. Image browsing refers to the process of presenting some forms of overview or summary of the image relationships, thus facilitating a user to navigate across the data set and find images of interests. In this paper, we present a new data structure built on the multi-lineariza...
متن کاملHierarchical browsing and search of large image databases
The advent of large image databases (>10000) has created a need for tools which can search and organize images automatically by their content. This paper focuses on the use of hierarchical tree-structures to both speed-up search-by-query and organize databases for effective browsing. The first part of this paper develops a fast search algorithm based on best-first branch and bound search. This ...
متن کاملImage Description Mining and Hierarchical Clustering on Data Records Using HR-Tree
Since we can hardly get semantics from the low-level features of the image, it is much more difficult to analyze the image than textual information on the Web. Traditionally, textual information around the image is used to represent the high-level features of the image. We argue that such “flat” representation can not describe images well. In this paper, Hierarchical Representation (HR) and HR-...
