Region-Based Image Retrieval Revisited
Region-based image retrieval (RBIR) technique is revisited. In early attempts
at RBIR in the late 90s, researchers found many ways to specify region-based
queries and spatial relationships; however, the way to characterize the
regions, such as by using color histograms, were very poor at that time. Here,
we revisit RBIR by incorporating semantic specification of objects and
intuitive specification of spatial relationships. Our contributions are the
following. First, to support multiple aspects of semantic object specification
(category, instance, and attribute), we propose a multitask CNN feature that
allows us to use deep learning technique and to jointly handle multi-aspect
object specification. Second, to help users specify spatial relationships among
objects in an intuitive way, we propose recommendation techniques of spatial
relationships. In particular, by mining the search results, a system can
recommend feasible spatial relationships among the objects. The system also can
recommend likely spatial relationships by assigned object category names based
on language prior. Moreover, object-level inverted indexing supports very fast
shortlist generation, and re-ranking based on spatial constraints provides
users with instant RBIR experiences.Comment: To appear in ACM Multimedia 2017 (Oral
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
Region-DH: Region-based Deep Hashing for Multi-Instance Aware Image Retrieval
This paper introduces an instance-aware hashing approach Region-DH for large-scale multi-label image retrieval. The accurate object bounds can significantly increase the hashing performance of instance features. We design a unified deep neural network that simultaneously localizes and recognizes objects while learning the hash functions for binary codes. Region-DH focuses on recognizing objects and building compact binary codes that represent more foreground patterns. Region-DH can flexibly be used with existing deep neural networks or more complex object detectors for image hashing. Extensive experiments are performed on benchmark datasets and show the efficacy and robustness of the proposed Region-DH model
