RBIR Based on Signature Graph

This paper approaches the image retrieval system on the base of visual features local region RBIR (region-based image retrieval). First of all, the paper presents a method for extracting the interest points based on Harris-Laplace to create the feature region of the image. Next, in order to reduce the storage space and speed up query image, the paper builds the binary signature structure to describe the visual content of image. Based on the image's binary signature, the paper builds the SG (signature graph) to classify and store image's binary signatures. Since then, the paper builds the image retrieval algorithm on SG through the similar measure EMD (earth mover's distance) between the image's binary signatures. Last but not least, the paper gives an image retrieval model RBIR, experiments and assesses the image retrieval method on Corel image database over 10,000 images.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure

Compact Hash Codes for Efficient Visual Descriptors Retrieval in Large Scale Databases

In this paper we present an efficient method for visual descriptors retrieval based on compact hash codes computed using a multiple k-means assignment. The method has been applied to the problem of approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) search of local and global visual content descriptors, and it has been tested on different datasets: three large scale public datasets of up to one billion descriptors (BIGANN) and, supported by recent progress in convolutional neural networks (CNNs), also on the CIFAR-10 and MNIST datasets. Experimental results show that, despite its simplicity, the proposed method obtains a very high performance that makes it superior to more complex state-of-the-art methods

Neural network-based shape retrieval using moment invariants and Zernike moments.

Shape is one of the fundamental image features for use in Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR). Compared with other visual features such as color and texture, it is extremely powerful and provides capability for object recognition and similarity-based image retrieval. In this thesis, we propose a Neural Network-Based Shape Retrieval System using Moment Invariants and Zernike Moments. Moment Invariants and Zernike Moments are two region-based shape representation schemes and are derived from the shape in an image and serve as image features. k means clustering is used to group similar images in an image collection into k clusters whereas Neural Network is used to facilitate retrieval against a given query image. Neural Network is trained by the clustering result on all of the images in the collection using back-propagation algorithm. In this scheme, Neural Network serves as a classifier such that moments are inputs to the Neural Network and the output is one of the k classes that have the largest similarities to the query image.
