Face-based video retrieval has become an active and important branch of intelligent video analysis. Face profiling and matching is a fundamental step and is crucial to the effectiveness of video retrieval. Although many algorithms have been developed for processing static face images, their effectiveness in face-based video retrieval is still unknown, simply because videos have different resolutions, faces vary in scale, and different lighting conditions and angles are used. In this paper, we combined content-based and semantic-based image analysis techniques, and systematically evaluated four mainstream local features to represent face images in the video retrieval task: Harris operators, SIFT and SURF descriptors, and eigenfaces. Results of ten independent runs of 10-fold cross-validation on datasets consisting of TED (Technology Entertainment Design) talk videos showed the effectiveness of our approach, where the SIFT descriptors achieved an average F-score of 0.725 in video retrieval and thus were the most effective, while the SURF descriptors were computed in 0.3 seconds per image on average and were the most efficient in most cases.

Despite the rapid strides in content-based image retrieval, a notable disparity persists between the visual features of images and the semantic features discerned by humans. Hence, image retrieval based on the association of semantic similarities recognized by humans with visual similarities is a difficult task for most image-retrieval systems. Our study endeavors to bridge this gap by refining image semantics, aligning them more closely with human perception. Deep learning techniques are used to semantically classify images and retrieve those that are semantically similar to personalized images. Moreover, we introduce a keyword-based image retrieval, enabling automatic labeling of images in mobile environments. The proposed approach can improve the performance of a mobile device with limited resources and bandwidth by performing retrieval based on the visual features and keywords of the image on the mobile device.

A content-based image retrieval system is designed and implemetned using the color featurees which are histogram intersection and color pairs. The preprocessor for the image retrieval manage linearly the existing HSI(hue, saturation, saturation, intensity). Hue and intensity histogram thresholding for each color attribute is performed to split the chromatic and achromatic regions respectively. Grouping te indexes produced by the histogram intersection is used to save the retrieval times. Each image is divided into the cells of 32$\times$32 pixels, and color pairs are used to represent the query during retrievals. The recall/precision of histogram intersection is 0.621/0.663 and recall/precision of color pairs is 0.438/0.536. And recall/precision of proposed method is 0.765/0.775/. It is shown that the proposed method using histogram intersection and color pairs improves the retrieval rates.

We propose efficient video retrieval scheme which use fast key frame extraction in DCT domain. Our scheme extract key frame using the edge histogram difference which is extracted in compressed domain for I-frames. And the video retrieval is implemented using Hausdorff distance function about edge histogram of key frame. This approach enables fast content-based video retrieval of the compressed video content without decompression process. Experimental results show our scheme is very fast and efficient.

The development of computer and internet has introduced various types of media - such as, image, audio, video, and voice - to the traditional text-based information. However, most of the information retrieval systems are based only on text, which results in the absence of ability to use available information. By utilizing the available media, one can improve the performance of search system, which is commonly called content-based retrieval and content-based image retrieval system specifically tries to incorporate the analysis of images into search systems. In this paper, a content-based image retrieval system using HSI color space, ART2 algorithm, and SOM algorithm is introduced. First, images are analyzed in the HSI color space to generate several sets of features describing the images and an SOM algorithm is used to provide candidates of training features to a user. The features that are selected by a user are fed to the training part of a search system, which uses an ART2 algorithm. The proposed system can handle the case in which an image belongs to several groups and showed better performance than other systems.

When Web-based special retrieval systems for scientific field extremely restrict the expression of user's information request, the process of the information content analysis and that of the information acquisition become inconsistent. Accordingly, this study suggests the re-ranking retrieval model which reflects the content based similarity between user's inquiry terms and index words by grasping the document knowledge structure. In order to accomplish this, the former constructs a thesaurus and similarity relation matrix to provide the subject analysis mechanism and the latter propose the algorithm which establishes a search model such as query expansion in order to analyze the user's demands. Therefore, the algorithm that this study suggests as retrieval utilizing the information structure of a retrieval system can be content-based retrieval mechanism to establish a 2-step search model for the preservation of recall and improvement of accuracy which was a weak point of the previous fuzzy retrieval model.

In this paper, a content-based image retrieval scheme based on scale-space theory is proposed. The existing methods using scale-space theory consider all scales for image retrieval,thereby requiring a lot of computation. To overcome this problem, the proposed algorithm utilizes amodified histogram intersection method to select candidate images from database. The relative scalebetween a query image and a candidate image is calculated by the ratio of histograms. Feature pointsare extracted from the candidates using a corner detection algorithm. The feature vector for eachfeature point is composed of RGB color components and differential invariants. For computing thesimilarity between a query image and a candidate image, the euclidean distance measure is used. Theproposed image retrieval method has been applied to various images and the performance improvementover the existing methods has been verified.

WThe education information have been increased. Accordingly, the necessary of developing on education information metadata standards has been increased. By the reason, the Korea Education & Research Information Service developed KEM(Korea Educational Metadata) 2.0. And MPEG-7 was developed to describe metadata of multimedia data. In this paper, we developed a education information image retrieval system. This system used XML schema to accept education information image metadata. We integrated contents-based retrieval and a semantic-based retrieval to overcome there problems that content-based retrieval system can not support semantic-based retrieval and a semantic-based retrieval can not support content-based retrieval. As a results, we expect to handle metadata more efficiently.

본 논문에서는 새로운 형태 특징값으로서 형태 correlogram을 제안하고 이를 기반으로 한 효과적인 내용기반 영삼검색(content-based image retrieval) 방법을 제시한다. 기존읜 색상 correlogram은 색상 정보에 공간적인 정보를 부여함으로써 영상검색 성능을 향상시켰다. 그러나 이 특징값은 형태 정보를 포함하고 있지 않아서 색상이 다르면서 비슷한 윤곽선 형태를 갖는 물체의 검색에는 좋은 효과를 보이지 못한다.이 문제를 해결하기 위해 예지(edge)들의 correlogram인 형태(shape) correlogram을 제안한다. 색상 correlogram이 색상들의 거리에 따른 상관관계를 나타내는데 반해 형태 correlogram은 에지 각도들의 상관관게를 나타낸다. 형태 correlogram은 gradient 축과 각도 축을 가지는 2차원 특징 벡터(feature vector)로 표현된다. 각 축은 24개 빈(bin)으로 나뉘어져서 총 576개의 원소를 가지게 된다. 또한 본 논문에서는 형태 correlogram의 데이터 크기를 줄이고, 회전에 대해 불변인 특성을 가지게 하기 위해 투영(projected) 형태 correlogram을 제안한다. 실험결과를 통하여 본 논문에서 제안한 형태 correlogram과 투영 형태 correlogram을 사용한 영상검색 방법이 기존의 방법보다 성능면에서 우수함을 입증한다.

Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is an approach for retrieving similar images from an image database based on automatically-derived image features. The quality of a retrieval system depends on the features used to describe image content. In this paper, we propose an image clustering system that takes a database of images as input and clusters them using k-means clustering algorithm taking into consideration color, texture and shape features. Experimental results show that the combination of the three features brings about higher values of accuracy and precision.
