INDI — Intelligent Database Navigation by Interactive and Intuitive Content-Based Image Retrieval

Kämpfe T, Käster T, Pfeiffer M, Ritter H, Sagerer G. INDI — Intelligent Database Navigation by Interactive and Intuitive Content-Based Image Retrieval. In: IEEE 2002 International Conference on Image Processing. Vol 3. Rochester, USA: IEEE; 2002: 921-924.We present a content-based image retrieval system INDI that combines the use of low-level pattern recognition techniques, machine learning and an intuitive human-computer interface in order to support intelligent and user-friendly semantic navigation in large image databases. To keep independence from specific image domains and to encompass different search tasks, the system is highly modular and contains a hierarchical mechanism for the adaptive re-weighting of similarity measures implemented by dynamically reloadable modules at different semantic levels
