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
Learning Cross-Modal Deep Embeddings for Multi-Object Image Retrieval using Text and Sketch
In this work we introduce a cross modal image retrieval system that allows
both text and sketch as input modalities for the query. A cross-modal deep
network architecture is formulated to jointly model the sketch and text input
modalities as well as the the image output modality, learning a common
embedding between text and images and between sketches and images. In addition,
an attention model is used to selectively focus the attention on the different
objects of the image, allowing for retrieval with multiple objects in the
query. Experiments show that the proposed method performs the best in both
single and multiple object image retrieval in standard datasets.Comment: Accepted at ICPR 201
Inner and Inter Label Propagation: Salient Object Detection in the Wild
In this paper, we propose a novel label propagation based method for saliency
detection. A key observation is that saliency in an image can be estimated by
propagating the labels extracted from the most certain background and object
regions. For most natural images, some boundary superpixels serve as the
background labels and the saliency of other superpixels are determined by
ranking their similarities to the boundary labels based on an inner propagation
scheme. For images of complex scenes, we further deploy a 3-cue-center-biased
objectness measure to pick out and propagate foreground labels. A
co-transduction algorithm is devised to fuse both boundary and objectness
labels based on an inter propagation scheme. The compactness criterion decides
whether the incorporation of objectness labels is necessary, thus greatly
enhancing computational efficiency. Results on five benchmark datasets with
pixel-wise accurate annotations show that the proposed method achieves superior
performance compared with the newest state-of-the-arts in terms of different
evaluation metrics.Comment: The full version of the TIP 2015 publicatio
