This paper proposes ACA (Adaptive Component Analysis) as a method for feature extraction and analysis of the content-based image retrieval system. For satisfactory retrieval, the features extracted from images should be appropriately applied according to the image domains and for this, retrieval measurement is proposed in this study. Retrieval measurement is a standard indicating how important the value of a relevant feature is to image retrieval. ACA is a middle stage for content-based image retrieval and it purposes to improve the retrieval speed and performance.

In this paper we propose an expert system for content-based image retrieval with object database. The proposed system finds keyword by using knowledge-base and feature of extracted object, and retrieves image by using keyword based image retrieval method. The system can decrease error of image retrieval and save running time. The system also checks whether similar objects exist or not. If not, user can store information of object in object database. Proposed system is flexible and extensible, enabling experts to incrementally add more knowledge and information. Experimental results show that the proposed system is more effective than existing content-based image retrieval method in running time and precision.

This paper explores an image segmentation and representation method using Vector Quantization(VQ) on color and texture for content-based image retrieval system. The basic idea is a transformation from the raw pixel data to a small set of image regions which are coherent in color and texture space. These schemes are used for object-based image retrieval. Features for image retrieval are three color features from HSV color model and five texture features from Gray-level co-occurrence matrices. Once the feature extraction scheme is performed in the image, 8-dimensional feature vectors represent each pixel in the image. VQ algorithm is used to cluster each pixel data into groups. A representative feature table based on the dominant groups is obtained and used to retrieve similar images according to object within the image. The proposed method can retrieve similar images even in the case that the objects are translated, scaled, and rotated.

A variety of multimedia applications require multimedia database management systems to manage multimedia data, such as text, image, and video, as well as t support content-based image or video retrieval. In this paper we design and implement a content-based image retrieval system, BADA-IV/I$^2$R(Image Information Retrieval), which is developed based on BADA-IV multimedia database management system. In this system image databases can be efficiently constructed and retrieved with the visual features, such as color, shape, and texture, of image. we extend SQL statements to define image query based on both annotations and visual features of image together. A high-dimensional index structure, called CIR-tree, is also employed in the system to provide an efficient access method to image databases. We show that BADA-IV/I$^2$R provides a flexible way to define query for image retrieval and retrieves image data fast and effectively: the effectiveness and performance of image retrieval are shown by BEP(Bull's Eye Performance) that is used to measure the retrieval effectiveness in MPEG-7 and comparing the performance of CIR-tree with those of X-tree and TV-tree, respectively.

Content based image retrieval is increasingly gaining popularity among image repository systems as images are a big source of digital communication and information sharing. Identification of image content is done through feature extraction which is the key operation for a successful content based image retrieval system. In this paper content based image retrieval system has been developed by adopting a strategy of combining multiple features of shape, color and relevance feedback. Shape is served as a primary operation to identify images whereas color and relevance feedback have been used as supporting features to make the system more efficient and accurate. Shape features are estimated through second derivative, least square polynomial and shapes coding methods. Color is estimated through max-min mean of neighborhood intensities. A new technique has been introduced for relevance feedback without bothering the user.

The growth of digital image an video archives is increasing the need for tools that efficiently search through large amount of visual dta. Retrieval of visual data is important issue in multimedia database. We are using contented-based visual data retrieval method for efficient retrieval of visual data. In this paper, we introduced fundamental techniques using characteristic values of image data and indexing techniques required for content-based visual retrieval. In addition we introduced content-based visual retrieval system for use of digital library.

With the rapid increase of the number of multimedia contents, people consume a lot of multimedia contents through various distribution channels. Content-based image retrieval uses visual features that represent the contents of images. And users can retrieve or filter images based on the contents of the images using the features. But, the editing of the multimedia contents distorts the original visual features of the multimedia contents, thereby the performance of content-based image retrieval system could be lowered. In this paper, we describe the image editing effects that lower the performance of the retrieval system and propose algorithms that can remove the image editing effect and improve content-based image retrieval system.

The purpose of this paper is to propose a method to maximize the efficiency of a content-based image retrieval for various kinds of images. This paper discuss the self-adaptivity for the change of image domain and the self-selection of optimal features for query image, and present the efficient method to maximize content-based retrieval for various kinds of images. In this method, a content-based retrieval system is adopted to select automatically distinctive feature patterns which have a maximum efficiency of image retrieval in various kinds of images. Experimental results show that the Proposed method is improved 3% than the method using individual features.

To retrieve complex data such as images in multimedia information, we need the content-based retrieval methods based on the visual properties rather than keywords. In this paper, a contrent-based image retrieval system is desinged and implemented to retrieve images using the features of images such as colors, lines and intensity vetor features when a visual query inputs. The contents for image retrievals are the color features extracted from the color component of 16 blocks of the image, th eline features extracted form 4 lines in the image and the shape features extracted from the intensity vectors of the 16 blocks. We can either use a whole image or a sketch image for query. As the experimental results demonstrate the precision 91% the recall 33% and the average rank 3.1 the retrieval performance is found to be high. The experimental results indicate that the retrieval using the weighted features have led to substantial improvement in the percision and performance of system.
