Performance of an image retrieval system is usually very low because of the semantic gap between the low level feature and the high level concept in a query image. Semantically relevant images may exhibit very different visual characteristics, and may be scattered in several clusters. In this paper, we propose a content based image rertrieval approach which combines region based image retrieval and a new relevance feedback method using adaptive clustering together. Our main goal is finding semantically related clusters to narrow down the semantic gap. Our method consists of region based clustering processes and cluster-merging process. All segmented regions of relevant images are organized into semantically related hierarchical clusters, and clusters are merged by finding the number of the latent clusters. This method, in the cluster-merging process, applies r: using v principal components instead of classical Hotelling's $T_v^2$ [1] to find the unknown number of clusters and resolve the singularity problem in high dimensions and demonstrate that there is little difference between the performance of $T^2$ and that of $T_v^2$. Experiments have demonstrated that the proposed approach is effective in improving the performance of an image retrieval system.

As a way of identifying users' image needs for improved effectiveness of image search, there have been recent research approaches to examine contextual factors in image needs with multiple perspectives. In this line of research, this study examined a total of 70 unsuccessful image searches for the purpose of investigating users' image needs. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, in particular, the characteristics of image needs, contextual factors on image needs, and image queries were investigated. The findings of this study demonstrated that information needs from the failed image searches are categorized primarily into specific and general/nameable categories. More importantly, these information needs are embedded with multiple contextual factors, primarily, task purpose and use purpose. With an analysis of detailed use purposes for image, illustration use was found most in this data set. For query analysis, the type of unique/refined image query was revealed primarily. As the results of this study were found similar to the findings of previous studies, it is possible to characterize the image needs from the failed image searches. In addition, the findings of this study are expected to be useful to the design and service of image retrieval.

Recently, many companies improving their management performance by building a powerful brand value which is recognized for trademark rights. However, as growing up the size of online commerce market, the infringement of trademark rights is increasing. According to various studies and reports, cases of foreign and domestic companies infringing on their trademark rights are increased. As the manpower and the cost required for the protection of trademark are enormous, small and medium enterprises(SMEs) could not conduct preliminary investigations to protect their trademark rights. Besides, due to the trademark image search service does not exist, many domestic companies have a problem that investigating huge amounts of trademarks manually when conducting preliminary investigations to protect their rights of trademark. Therefore, we develop an intelligent similar trademark search model to reduce the manpower and cost for preliminary investigation. To measure the performance of the model which is developed in this study, test data selected by intellectual property experts was used, and the performance of ResNet V1 101 was the highest. The significance of this study is as follows. The experimental results empirically demonstrate that the image classification algorithm shows high performance not only object recognition but also image retrieval. Since the model that developed in this study was learned through actual trademark image data, it is expected that it can be applied in the real industrial environment.

본 논문은 의료 영상 검색 시스템에서 뇌 MRI 이미지 데이터베이스에서 사용자의 질의를 만족하는 질의 결과 집합에 대한 시각화 방안을 제안한다. 한 환자의 뇌 MRI 이미지를 검색 결과로 제시할 경우 종류별, 방향별로 다양하고 여러 환자의 경우에는 그 양이 더욱 방대해진다. 이러한 뇌 MRI 이미지를 공간 제약적인 화면에 표현하는데는 한계가 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 질의 결과를 제시할 대 유사도가 높은 순서로 나열하고, 사용자 요구에 따른 관련 이미지를 종류와 방향별로 제시하여 이미지 조작을 가능하게 한다. 도한, 제시된 뇌 MRI 이미지를 효율적으로 브라우징할 수 있도록 3차원 블록 메타포어를 이용한 시각화 인터페이스를 통하여 공간 활용도의 향상과 사용자 인터페이스의 편의성 및 인지도를 증진한다.

With the development of various devices and communication technologies, the production and distribution of various multimedia contents are increasing exponentially. In order to retrieve multimedia data such as images and videos, an approach different from conventional text-based retrieval is needed. Color and shape are key features used in content-based image retrieval, which quantifies and analyzes various physical features of images and compares them to search for similar images. Color and shape have been used as independent features, but the two features are closely related in terms of cognition. In this paper, a method of describing the spatial distribution of color using a complex color model that projects three-dimensional color information onto two-dimensional complex form is proposed. Experimental results show that the proposed method can efficiently represent the shape of spatial distribution of colors by frequency transforming the complex image and reconstructing it with only a few coefficients in the low frequency.

The advances of computer hardware and information processing technologies raise the needs of multimedia information retrieval systems. Up to date. multimedia information systems have been developed for text information and image information. Nowadays. the multimedia information systems for video and audio information. especially for musical information have been grown up more and more. In recent music information retrieval systems. not only the information retrieval based on meta-information such like composer and title but also the content-based information retrieval is supported. The content-based information retrieval in music information retrieval systems utilize the similarity value between the user query and the music information stored in music database. In tbis paper. hence. we developed a similarity computation algorithm in which the pitches and lengths of each corresponding pair of notes are used as the fundamental factors for similarity computation between musical information. We also make an experiment of the proposed algorithm to validate its appropriateness. From the experimental results. the proposed similarity computation algorithm is shown to be able to correctly check whether two music files are analogous to each other or not based on melodies.

Existing contents-based video retrieval systems search by using a single method such as annotation-based or feature-based retrieval. Hence, it not only shows low search efficiency, but also requires many efforts to provide system administrator or annotator with a perfect automatic processing. Tn this paper, we propose an agent-based, and automatic and unified semantics-based video retrieval system, which support various semantics-retrieval of the massive video data by integrating the feature-based retrieval and the annotation-based retrieval. The indexing agent embodies the semantics about annotation of extracted key frames by analyzing a fundamental query of a user and by selecting a key-frame image that is ed by a query. Also, a key frame selected by user takes a query image of the feature-based retrieval and the indexing agent searches and displays the most similar key-frame images after comparing query images with key frames in the database by using the color-multiple-partition histogram techniques. Furthermore, it is shown that the performance of the proposed system can be significantly improved.

비디오 데이터를 효율적으로 처리하기 위해서는 비디오 데이터가 가지고 있는 내용에 대한 정보를 데이터베이스에 저장하고 사용자들의 다양한 질의를 처리할 수 있는 의미기반 검색 기법이 요구된다. 기존의 내용기반 비디오 검색 시스템들은 주석기반 검색 또는 특징기반 검색과 같은 단일 방식으로만 검색을 하므로 검색 효율이 낮을 뿐 아니라 완전한 자동 처리가 되지 않아 시스템 관리자나 주석자의 많은 노력을 요구한다. 본 논문에서는 주석기반 검색과 특징기반 검색을 이용하여 대용량의 비디오 데이터에 대한 사용자의 다양한 의미검색을 지원하는 에이전트 기반에서의 자동화되고 통합된 비디오 의미기반 검색 시스템을 제안한다. 사용자의 기본적인 질의와 질의에 의해 추출된 키 프레임의 이미지를 선택함으로써 에이전트는 추출된 키 프레임의 주석에 대한 의미를 더욱 구체화시킨다. 또한, 사용자에 의해 선택된 키 프레임은 질의 이미지가 되어 제안하는 특징기반 검색기법을 통해 가장 유사한 키 프레임을 검색한다. 따라서 의미기반 검색을 통해 비디오 데이터의 검색의 효율을 높일 수 있도록 시스템은 설계한다.
