Recently, the amount of image on the Internet has rapidly increased, due to the advancement of smart devices and various approaches to effective image retrieval have been researched under these situation. Existing image retrieval methods simply detect the objects in a image and carry out image retrieval based on the label of each object. Therefore, the semantic gap occurs between the image desired by a user and the image obtained from the retrieval result. To reduce the semantic gap in image retrievals, we connect the module for multiple objects classification based on deep learning with the module for human behavior classification. And we combine the connected modules with a behavior ontology. That is to say, we propose an image retrieval system considering the relationship between objects by using the combination of deep learning and behavior ontology. We analyzed the experiment results using walking and running data to take into account dynamic behaviors in images. The proposed method can be extended to the study of automatic annotation generation of images that can improve the accuracy of image retrieval results.

Modem efforts on digitizing electronic books focus on preserving authentic image representation of the original sources. Unlike the text-based format, it is difficult to recognize the information in the image, so the new format requires new tools to help users to access, process, and make sense of digital information. This paper presents an approach which assists users of these image sources by giving them a combination of annotation and social navigation support. Especially in the education domain, the proposed technique improves the usability of online education system. This approach is currently fully implemented and under evaluation in a classroom study.

모바일기기에 탑재되어있는 디지털 카메라의 성능이 향상됨에 따라 이를 이용한 사진의 촬영 및 수집이 용이해졌으며, 따라서 사용자 로그정보를 이용하여 방대한 양의 사진을 분석하거나 브라우징해주는 방법들이 연구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 모바일기기의 불확실한 로그정보와 사진 주석정보를 베이지안 네트워크로 모델링하여 사용자가 겪은 이벤트들을 추론하고 사용자의 일과를 요약해주는 방법을 제안한다. 우선 사진들을 시간과 위치정보에 따라 분할하여 사진그룹목록을 생성하고, 이를 모바일기기에 입력되어있는 사용자의 일정목록과 합하여 임시이벤트목록을 생성한다. 그 뒤 베이지안 네트워크를 이용하여 각 이벤트를 인식하고 이를 가장 잘 나타내는 사진을 선택한다. 제안하는 방법은 선택된 사진들을 나열하여 사진다이어리형식으로 사용자의 일과를 요약하여주며, 이때 특정 이벤트와 매치되는 사진이 없을 경우 미리 정의되어있는 만화 컷을 대신 사용하여 내용이 매끄럽게 이어지도록 하였다.

Retrieval of images from image databases by spatial relationship can be effectively performed through visual interface systems. In these systems, the representation of image with 2D strings, which are derived from symbolic projections, provides an efficient and natural way to construct image index and is also an ideal representation for the visual query. With this approach, retrieval is reduced to matching two symbolic strings. However, using 2D-string representations, spatial relationships between the objects in the image might not be exactly specified. Ambiguities arise for the retrieval of images of 3D scenes. In order to remove ambiguous description of object spatial relationships, in this paper, images are referred by considering spatial relationships using the spatial location algebra for the 3D image scene. Also, we remove the repetitive spatial relationships using the several reduction rules. A reduction mechanism using these rules can be used in query processing systems that retrieve images by content. This could give better precision and flexibility in image retrieval.

The explosive growth of the Internet leads to various on-line shopping malls and active E-Commerce. however, as the internet has experienced continuous growth, users have to face a variety and a huge amount of items, and often waste a lot of time on purchasing items that are relevant to their interests. To overcome this problem the comparison shopping systems, which can help to compare items' information with those other shopping malls, have been issued as a solution. However, when users do not have much knowledge what they want to find, a keyword-based searching in the existing comparison shopping systems lead users to waste time for searching information. Thereby, the performance is fell down. To solve this problem in this research, we suggest the Comparison Shopping System using Image Retrieval based on Semantic Web. The proposed system can assist users who don't know items' information that they want to find and serve users for quickly comparing information among the items. In the proposed system we use semantic web technology. We insert the Semantic Annotation based on Ontology into items' image of each shopping mall. Consequently, we employ those images for searching the items instead of using a complex keyword. In order to evaluate performance of the proposed system we compare our experimental results with those of Keyword-based Comparison Shopping System and simple Semantic Web-based Comparison Shopping System. Our result shows that the proposed system has improved performance in comparison with the other systems.

In most database systems images have been indexed indirectly using related texts such as captions, annotations and image attributes. But there has been an increasing requirement for the image database system supporting the storage and retrieval of images directly by content using the information contained in the images. There has been a few indexing methods based on contents. Among them, Pertains proposed an image indexing method considering spatial relationships and properties of objects forming the images. This is the expansion of the other studies based on '2-D string. But this method needs too much storage space and lacks flexibility. In this paper, we propose a more flexible index structure based on kd-tree using paging techniques. We show an example of extracting keys using normalization from the from the raw image. Simulation results show that our method improves in flexibility and needs much less storage space.

Contents-based image retrieval methods are in general more objective and effective than text-based image retrieval algorithms since they use color and texture in search and avoid annotating all images for search. SIM(Self-organizing Image browsing Map) is one of contents-based image retrieval algorithms that uses only browsable mapping results obtained by SOM(Self Organizing Map). However, SOM may have an error in selecting the right BMU in learning phase if there are similar nodes with distorted color information due to the intensity of light or objects' movements in the image. Such images may be mapped into other grouping nodes thus the search rate could be decreased by this effect. In this paper, we propose an improved SIM that uses HSV color model in extracting image features with color quantization. In order to avoid unexpected learning error mentioned above, our SOM consists of two layers. In learning phase, SOM layer 1 has the color feature vectors as input. After learning SOM Layer 1, the connection weights of this layer become the input of SOM Layer 2 and re-learning occurs. With this multi-layered SOM learning, we can avoid mapping errors among similar nodes of different color information. In search, we put the query image vector into SOM layer 2 and select nodes of SOM layer 1 that connects with chosen BMU of SOM layer 2. In experiment, we verified that the proposed SIM was better than the original SIM and avoid mapping error effectively.

In order to process video data effectively, it is required that the content information of video data is loaded in database and semantics-based retrieval method can be available for various queries of users. In this paper, we propose a video retrieval system which support semantics retrieval of various users for massive video data by user's keywords and comparison area learning based on automatic agent. By user's fundamental query and selection of image for key frame that extracted from query, the agent gives the detail shape for annotation of extracted key frame. Also, key frame selected by user becomes a query image and searches the most similar key frame through color histogram comparison and comparison area learning method that proposed. From experiment, the designed and implemented system showed high precision ratio in performance assessment more than 93 percents.
