Document image retrieval based on density distribution feature and key block feature
Document image retrieval is an important part of many document image processing systems such as paperless office systems, digital libraries and so on. Its task is to help users find out the most similar document images from a document image database. For developing a System of document image retrieval among different resolutions, different formats document images with hybrid characters of multiple languages,. a new retrieval method based on document image density distribution features and key block features is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the density distribution and key block features of a document image are defined and extracted based on documents' print-core. Secondly, the candidate document images are attained based on the density distribution features. Thirdly, to improve reliability of the retrieval results, a confirmation procedure using key block features is applied to those candidates. Experimental results on a large scale document image database, which contains 10385 document images, show that the proposed method is efficient and robust to retrieve different kinds of document images in real time.http://gateway.webofknowledge.com/gateway/Gateway.cgi?GWVersion=2&SrcApp=PARTNER_APP&SrcAuth=LinksAMR&KeyUT=WOS:000232022600204&DestLinkType=FullRecord&DestApp=ALL_WOS&UsrCustomerID=8e1609b174ce4e31116a60747a720701Computer Science, Artificial IntelligenceComputer Science, Information SystemsCPCI-S(ISTP)
Semantic spaces revisited: investigating the performance of auto-annotation and semantic retrieval using semantic spaces
Semantic spaces encode similarity relationships between objects as a function of position in a mathematical space. This paper discusses three different formulations for building semantic spaces which allow the automatic-annotation and semantic retrieval of images. The models discussed in this paper require that the image content be described in the form of a series of visual-terms, rather than as a continuous feature-vector. The paper also discusses how these term-based models compare to the latest state-of-the-art continuous feature models for auto-annotation and retrieval
Semantic Retrieval and Automatic Annotation: Linear Transformations, Correlation and Semantic Spaces
This paper proposes a new technique for auto-annotation and semantic retrieval based upon the idea of linearly mapping an image feature space to a keyword space. The new technique is compared to several related techniques, and a number of salient points about each of the techniques are discussed and contrasted. The paper also discusses how these techniques might actually scale to a real-world retrieval problem, and demonstrates this though a case study of a semantic retrieval technique being used on a real-world data-set (with a mix of annotated and unannotated images) from a picture library
Sparse Transfer Learning for Interactive Video Search Reranking
Visual reranking is effective to improve the performance of the text-based
video search. However, existing reranking algorithms can only achieve limited
improvement because of the well-known semantic gap between low level visual
features and high level semantic concepts. In this paper, we adopt interactive
video search reranking to bridge the semantic gap by introducing user's
labeling effort. We propose a novel dimension reduction tool, termed sparse
transfer learning (STL), to effectively and efficiently encode user's labeling
information. STL is particularly designed for interactive video search
reranking. Technically, it a) considers the pair-wise discriminative
information to maximally separate labeled query relevant samples from labeled
query irrelevant ones, b) achieves a sparse representation for the subspace to
encodes user's intention by applying the elastic net penalty, and c) propagates
user's labeling information from labeled samples to unlabeled samples by using
the data distribution knowledge. We conducted extensive experiments on the
TRECVID 2005, 2006 and 2007 benchmark datasets and compared STL with popular
dimension reduction algorithms. We report superior performance by using the
proposed STL based interactive video search reranking.Comment: 17 page
