The application of user log for online business environment using content-based Image retrieval system
Over the past few years, inter-query learning has gained much attention in the research and development of content-based image retrieval (CBIR) systems. This is largely due to the capability of inter-query approach to enable learning from the retrieval patterns of previous query sessions. However, much of the research works in this field have been focusing on analyzing image retrieval patterns stored in the database. This is not suitable for a dynamic environment such as the World Wide Web (WWW) where images are constantly added or removed. A better alternative is to use an image's visual features to capture the knowledge gained from the previous query sessions. Based on the previous work (Chung et al., 2006), the aim of this paper is to propose a framework of inter-query learning for the WWW-CBIR systems. Such framework can be extremely useful for those online companies whose core business involves providing multimedia content-based services and products to their customers
A Sub-block Based Image Retrieval Using Modified Integrated Region Matching
This paper proposes a content based image retrieval (CBIR) system using the
local colour and texture features of selected image sub-blocks and global
colour and shape features of the image. The image sub-blocks are roughly
identified by segmenting the image into partitions of different configuration,
finding the edge density in each partition using edge thresholding followed by
morphological dilation. The colour and texture features of the identified
regions are computed from the histograms of the quantized HSV colour space and
Gray Level Co- occurrence Matrix (GLCM) respectively. The colour and texture
feature vectors is computed for each region. The shape features are computed
from the Edge Histogram Descriptor (EHD). A modified Integrated Region Matching
(IRM) algorithm is used for finding the minimum distance between the sub-blocks
of the query and target image. Experimental results show that the proposed
method provides better retrieving result than retrieval using some of the
existing methods.Comment: 7 page
