TL;DR: In this article, an adaptation of k-means clustering using a non- Euclidean similarity metric is applied to discover the natural patterns of the data in the low-level feature space; the cluster prototype is designed to summarize the cluster in a manner that is suited for quick human comprehension of its components.
Abstract: Humans tend to use high-level semantic concepts when querying and browsing multimedia databases; there is thus, a need for systems that extract these concepts and make available annotations for the multimedia data. The system presented in this paper satisfies this need by automatically generating semantic concepts for images form their low-level visual features. The proposed system is built in two stages. First, an adaptation of k-means clustering using a non- Euclidean similarity metric is applied to discover the natural patterns of the data in the low-level feature space; the cluster prototype is designed to summarize the cluster in a manner that is suited for quick human comprehension of its components. Second, statistics measuring the variation within each cluster are used to derive a set of mappings between the most significant low-level features and the most frequent keywords of the corresponding cluster. The set of the derived rules could be used further to capture the semantic content and index new untagged images added to the image database. The attachment of semantic concepts to images will also give the system the advantage of handling queries expressed in terms of keywords and thus, it reduces the semantic gap between the user's conceptualization of a query and the query that is actually specified to the system. While the suggested scheme works with any kind of low-level features, our implementation and description of the system is centered on the use of image color information. Experiments using a 21 00 image database are presented to show the efficacy of the proposed system.

TL;DR: This paper focuses on the development and validation of a content-based image retrieval system to classify and retrieve oceanic structures from satellite images, based on several soft computing technologies such as fuzzy logic and neurofuzzy systems.
Abstract: The detection of mesoscale oceanic structures, such as upwellings or eddies, from satellite images has significance for marine environmental studies, coastal resource management, and ocean dynamics studies. Nevertheless, there is a lack of tools that allow us to retrieve automatically relevant mesoscale structures from large satellite image databases. This paper focuses on the development and validation of a content-based image retrieval system to classify and retrieve oceanic structures from satellite images. The images were obtained from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration satellite's Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer sensor. The study area is about W2° - 21°, N19° - 45°. This system conducts labeling and retrieval of the most relevant and typical mesoscale oceanic structures, such as upwellings, eddies, and island wakes located in the Canary Islands area and in the Mediterranean and Cantabrian seas. Our work is based on several soft computing technologies such as fuzzy logic and neurofuzzy systems.

TL;DR: A new content based image retrieval approach using combination of color and texture information in spatial and transform domains jointly, which shows that the proposed method provides higher precision than many existing methods.
Abstract: Large amount of data are stored in image format. Image retrieval from bulk databases has become a hot research topic. An alternative method for efficient image retrieval is proposed based on a combination of texture and colour information. The main purpose of this paper is to propose a new content based image retrieval approach using combination of color and texture information in spatial and transform domains jointly.,Various methods are provided for image retrieval, which try to extract the image contents based on texture, colour and shape. The proposed image retrieval method extracts global and local texture and colour information in two spatial and frequency domains. In this way, image is filtered by Gaussian filter, then co-occurrence matrices are made in different directions and the statistical features are extracted. The purpose of this phase is to extract noise-resistant local textures. Then the quantised histogram is produced to extract global colour information in the spatial domain. Also, Gabor filter banks are used to extract local texture features in the frequency domain. After concatenating the extracted features and using the normalised Euclidean criterion, retrieval is performed.,The performance of the proposed method is evaluated based on the precision, recall and run time measures on the Simplicity database. It is compared with many efficient methods of this field. The comparison results showed that the proposed method provides higher precision than many existing methods.,The comparison results showed that the proposed method provides higher precision than many existing methods. Rotation invariant, scale invariant and low sensitivity to noise are some advantages of the proposed method. The run time of the proposed method is within the usual time frame of algorithms in this domain, which indicates that the proposed method can be used online.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new approach is proposed for content based image retrieval based on weighted combination of color and texture features, where texture features are extracted using modified local binary patterns and local neighborhood differences patterns (LNDP) and filtered gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM).
Abstract: Today, large amount of data are stored in image format. Content based image retrieval from bulk databases has become an interesting research topic in last decade. Most of the recent approaches use joint of texture and color information. In most cases, the color and texture features are concatenated together and equal importance is given to each one. The human visual system, usually pays more attention to the textural properties of objects to recognize. In this paper a new approach is proposed for content based image retrieval based on weighted combination of color and texture features. Firstly, to achieve discriminant features, texture features are extracted using modified local binary patterns (MLBP) and local neighborhood differences patterns (LNDP) and filtered gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM). Also, quantization color histogram is used to extract color features. Next, the similarity matching is performed based on canbera distance in color and texture features separatly. Finally, a weighted decision is performed to retrieve most similar database images to the user query. The performance of the proposed approach is evaluated on Corel 1 K and Corel 10k datasets. Results show that proposed approach provide better performance than state-of-the-art methods in terms of precision and recall rate.
