In this paper, we proposed a content-based image retrieval method using color and object's complexity for indexing of image database. Generally, the retrieval methods using color feature can not sufficiently include the spatial information in the image. So they are reduced retrieval efficiency. Then we combined object's complexity which extracted from chain code and the conventional color feature. As a result, experiments shooed that the proposed method which considers the shape feature improved performance in conducting content-based search.

A set of color features has been efficiently used to measure the similarity of given images. However, the size of the color features is too large to implement an indexing scheme effectively. In this paper a new method is proposed to retrieve similar images using an interpolated color histogram. The idea is similar to the already reported methods that use the distributions of color histograms. The new method is different in that simplified color histograms decide the similarity between a query image and target images. In order to represent the distribution of the color histograms, the best order of interpolated polynomial has been simulated. After a histogram distribution is represented in a polynomial form, only a few number of polynomial coefficients are indexed and stored in a database as a color descriptor. The new method has been applied to real images and achieved satisfactory results.

In this paper, using ranks of co-occurrence frequency about indices in pairs of neighboring pixels, we introduce a new re-indexing algorithm for efficiency of index color image lossless compression. The proposed algorithm is suitable for arithmetic coding because it has concentrated distributions of small variance. Experimental results proved that the proposed algorithm reduces the bit rates than other coding schemes, more specifically $15\%$, $54\%$ and $12\%$ for LZW algorithm of GIF, the plain arithmetic coding method and Zeng's scheme, respectively.

The basic features in the indexing and retrieval of the image is used color, shape, and texture in traditional image retrieval method. We do not use these features and offers a new way. For content-based video indexing and retrieval, visual features used to measure the similarity of the geometric method is presented. This method is called the Radon transform. Without separation, this method is calculated based on the geometric distribution of image. In the experiment has a very good search results.

For browsing, searching, and manipulating video documents, an indexing technique to describe video contents is required. Until now, the indexing process is mostly carried out by specialists who manually assign a few keywords to the video contents and thereby this work becomes an expensive and time consuming task. Therefore, automatic classification of video content is necessary. We propose a fully automatic and computationally efficient method for analysis and summarization of spots news video for 5 spots news video such as soccer, golf, baseball, basketball and volleyball. First of all, spots news videos are classified as anchor-person Shots, and the other shots are classified as news reports shots. Shot classification is based on image preprocessing and color features of the anchor-person shots. We then use the dominant color of the field and motion features for analysis of sports shots, Finally, sports shots are classified into five genre type. We achieved an overall average classification accuracy of 75% on sports news videos with 241 scenes. Therefore, the proposed method can be further used to search news video for individual sports news and sports highlights.

As a result of remarkable developments in computer technology, the image retrieval system that can efficiently retrieve image data becomes a core technology of information-oriented society. In this paper, we implemented the Hierarchical Image Retrieval System for content-based image data retrieval. At the first level, to get color information, with improving the indexing method using color distribution characteristic suggested by Striker et al., i.e. the indexing method considering local color distribution characteristics, the system roughly classifies images through the improved method. At the second level, the system finally retrieves the most similar image from the image queried by the user using the shape information about the image groups classified at the first level. To extract the shape information, we use the Improved Moment Invariants(IMI) that manipulates only the pixels on the edges of objects in order to overcome two main problems of the existing Moment Invariant methods large amount of processing and rotation sensitiveness which can frequently be seen in the Directive Histogram Intersection technique suggested by Jain et al. Experiments have been conducted on 300 automobile images And we could obtain the more improved results through the comparative test with other methods.

In this paper, we propose a web page retrieval system based on the sensibility evaluation induced by the color combination of web pages. The realized system consist of two modules - the indexing module that automatically extracts and indexes the color information from the web page and the retrieval module that retrieves web pages based on the color combination when sensibility adjective is presented. Also, to verify the system usefulness, we analyzed the ranking of web pages retrieved by the system and by human subjects (non-expels and experts for color web page design) using two statistical methods of correlation and paired-t test. Results by non-experts showed the realized system was suitable for 10 sensibility adjectives among 18 sensibility adjectives, and results by experts showed that the realized system was suitable for 14 sensibility adjectives among 18 sensibility adjectives.

최근 멀티미디어 정보를 기술하기 위한 표준인 MPEG-7이 제안되어 이미지/동영상 검색 시스템과 같은 응용분야에서 사용되기 시작하였다. 그러나 MPEG-7 시각 정보 기술자들은 대부분 고차원으로 표현되고 기술자들이 가지는 각 속성들의 성질이 서로 동일하지 않기 때문에 기존의 인덱싱 방법으로는 효율적인 검색을 할 수 없다. 본 논문에서는 MPEG-7 시각 정보 기술자중에서 많이 사용되는 Dominant Color 기술자와 Contour Shape 기술자에 대한 새로운 인덱싱 알고리즘을 제안한다. Dominant Color 기술자에서 사용되는 비 교 연산 식 은 가우스 혼합 모델에 기초하고 있기 때문에, 기술자의 각 속성들을 하냐의 칼라 히스토그램 형태로 변형시켜서 인덱스로 사용한다. Contour Shape기술자는 2 단계 형태의 알고리즘을 사용한다. 각 단계는 글로벌 파라미터 속성과 비트맵 인덱스를 사용한 인덱싱이 적용된다. 제안된 인덱싱 방법을 사용했을 때 Dominant Color의 경우 90%의 정확도에 120배 이상의 속도 향상을 나타냈고, Contour Shape의 경우 82%의 정확도에 3배 이상의 속도 향상을 나타냈다.

Scene change detection is the fundamental process of automatic video indexing and retrieving. In this paper we propose a method which utilizes both compressed and uncompressed domain methods to detect scene change in a video. Candidate locations for scene change are estimated from DC images and motion vector information in compressed domain. And candidate frames are verified using edge histogram distance and color histogram distance, in uncompressed domain. The experimental results show that scene change can be detected fast and correctly by proposed method.

Caption information in news videos can be useful for video indexing and retrieval since it usually suggests or implies the contents of the video very well. In this paper, a new algorithm for extracting and recognizing characters from news video is proposed, without a priori knowledge such as font type, color, size of character. In the process of text region extraction, in order to improve the recognition rate for videos with complex background at low resolution, continuous frames with identical text regions are automatically detected to compose an average frame. The image of the averaged frame is projected to horizontal and vertical direction, and we apply region filling to remove backgrounds to produce the character. Then, K-means color clustering is applied to remove remaining backgrounds to produce the final text image. In the process of character recognition, simple features such as white run and zero-one transition from the center, are extracted from unknown characters. These feature are compared with the pre-composed character feature set to recognize the characters. Experimental results tested on various news videos show that the proposed method is superior in terms of caption extraction ability and character recognition rate.
