As development of digital technology, many kinds of multimedia data are used variously and requirements for effective use by user are increasing. In order to transfer information fast and precisely what user wants, effective retrieval method is required. As existing multimedia data are impossible to apply the MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 technologies which are aimed at compression, store and transmission. So MPEG-7 is introduced as a new technology for effective management and retrieval of multimedia data. In this paper, we extract content-based features using color descriptor among the MPEG-7 standardization visual descriptor, and reduce feature data applying PCA(Principal Components Analysis) technique. We model the cerebral cortex and hippocampal neural network in engineering domain, and team content-based feature vectors fast and apply the hippocampal neural network algorithm to compose of optimized feature. And then we present fast and precise retrieval effect when indexing and retrieving.

This paper proposes an efficient photo retrieval system that automatically indexes for searching of relevant images, using a combination of geo-coded information, direction/location of image capture device and content-based visual features. A photo image is labeled with its GPS (Global Positioning System) coordinates and direction of the camera view at the moment of capture, and the label leads to generate a geo-spatial index with three core elements of latitude, longitude and viewing direction. Then, content-based visual features are extracted and combined with the geo-spatial information, for indexing and retrieving the photo images. For user's querying process, the proposed method adopts two steps as a progressive approach, filtering the relevant subset prior to use a content-based ranking function. To evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme, we assess the simulation performance in terms of average precision and F-score, using a natural photo collection. Comparing the proposed approach to retrieve using only visual features, an improvement of 20.8% was observed. The experimental results show that the proposed method exhibited a significant enhancement of around 7.2% in retrieval effectiveness, compared to previous work. These results reveal that a combination of context and content analysis is markedly more efficient and meaningful that using only visual feature for image search.

A content-based image retrieval system using MPEG-7 is designed and implemented in this thesis. The implemented system uses existing MPEG-7 Visual Descriptors. In addition, a new descriptor for efficient retrieval of bio images is proposed and utilized in the developed content-based image retrieval system. Comparing proposed CBSD(Compact Binary Shape Descriptor) with Edge Histogram Descriptor(EHD) and Region Shape Descriptor(RSD), it shows good retrieval performance in NMRR. The proposed descriptor is robust to large modification of brightness and contrast and especially improved retrieval performance to search images with similar shapes. Also proposed system adopts distributed architecture to solve increased server overload and network delay. Updating module of client efficiently reduces downloading time for metadata. The developed system can efficiently retrieve images without causing server's overload.

Query-by-example (QBE) is a well-known method for image retrieval. In reality, however, an example image to be used for the query is rarely available. Therefore, it is often necessary to find a good example image to be used for the query before applying the QBE method. Query-by-layout (QBL) is our proposal for that purpose. In particular, we make use of the visual descriptors such as the edge histogram descriptor (EHD) and the color layout descriptor (CLD) in MPEG-7. Since image features of the CLD and the EHD can be localized in terms of a$4{\times}4$ sub-image, we can specify image features such as color and edge distribution on each sub-image separately for image retrieval without a query image. Experimental results show that the proposed query method can be used to retrieve a good image as a starting point for further QBE-based image retrieval.

MPEG-7 standardization work has started with the aims of providing fundamental tools for describing multimedia contents. MPEG-7 defines the syntax and semantics of descriptors and description schemes so that they may be used as fundamental tools for multimedia content description. In this paper, we introduce a texture based image description and retrieval method, which is adopted as the homogeneous texture descriptor in the visual part of the MPEG-7 final committee draft. The current MPEG-7 homogeneous texture descriptor consists of the mean, the standard deviation value of an image, energy, and energy deviation values of Fourier transform of the image. These are extracted from partitioned frequency channels based on the human visual system (HVS). For reliable extraction of the texture descriptor, Radon transformation is employed. This is suitable for HVS behavior. We also introduce various matching methods; for example, intensity-invariant, rotation-invariant and/or scale-invariant matching. This technique retrieves relevant texture images when the user gives a querying texture image. In order to show the promising performance of the texture descriptor, we take the experimental results with the MPEG-7 test sets. Experimental results show that the MPEG-7 texture descriptor gives an efficient and effective retrieval rate. Furthermore, it gives fast feature extraction time for constructing the texture descriptor.

본 논문에서는 MPEG-7 시각 정보 기술자인 Dominant Color와 Contour Shape 기술자에 대한 새로운 인덱싱 알고리즘을 제안한다. Dominant Color 기술자에서 사용되는 비교 연산 식은 가우스 혼합 모델에 기초하고 있기 때문에 기술자의 각 속성들을 하나의 칼라 히스토그램 형태로 변형시켜서 인덱스로 사용한다. Contour Shape 기술자는 두 단계 형태의 알고리즘을 사용하는데, 첫 번째 단계에서는 글로벌 변수인 Eccentricity와 Circularity를 사용한 대략적인 비교를 통해서 비슷하지 않은 이미지 오브젝트를 배제시키고 두 번째 단계에서 남겨진 오브젝트들과 질의 오브젝트들간의 Peak 변수를 사용한 비교 연산을 통해 인덱싱을 수행한다. 또한 본 논문은 효율적인 멀티미디어 데이타 검색을 위해서 두 가지의 MPEG-7 시각 정보 기술자 결합 알고리즘을 제안한다. 첫 번째 결합 알고리즘은 가중치를 확률로 변환해서 반영하는 것이고 두 번째는 가중치를 각 비교 연산 결과값의 중요도로 간주하는 방법이다. 실험을 통해서 결과를 분석해 보면 근사화를 통한 인덱스 생성으로 100%의 정확도를 유지 할 수는 없지만 논문에서 제안된 각 기술자의 인덱싱 알고리즘과 기술자들의 결합 알고리즘은 기본 검색 알고리즘과 비교했을 때 매우 빠른 속도 향상을 보여주었다. 본 논문에서 제안된 알고리즘은 MPEG-7을 사용하는 검색 시스템의 데이타베이스 구축에 효율적으로 사용될 수 있다.

As more and more digital images are made by various applications, image retrieval becomes a primary concern in technology of multimedia. This paper presents color based descriptor that uses information of color distribution in color images which is the most basic element for image search and performance of proposed visual feature is evaluated through the simulation. In designing the image search descriptor used color histogram, HSV, Daubechies 9/7 and 2 level wavelet decomposition provide better results than other parameters in terms of computational time and performances. Also histogram quadratic matrix outperforms the sum of absolute difference in similarity measurements, but spends more than 60 computational times.

최근 급속하게 증가하는 멀티미디어 정보를 효율적으로 다루기 위하여 멀티미디어 데이터에 대한 표현을 표준화하는 MPEG-7 표준안이 제정되었다 본 논문에서는 표준안의 Visual Descriptor 중 Edge Histogram Descriptor(EHD)에 기반한 효과적인 내용기반 이미지 검색 시스템을 설계한다. EHD의 경우 질의 이미지와 데이터베이스의 이미지 간의 유사도 연산을 통해 검색을 하는데 모든 이미지에 대해 연산을 수행하는 것은 비효율적이다. 저장된 에지 히스토그램 정보를 ‘이미지 당 빈 값’에서 ‘빈 값 당 이미지’ 정보로 매핑하는 Lookup Table를 이용하여 유사도 연산을 수행할 이미지 범위를 한정함으로써 검색 효율을 높일 수 있는 검색 방법을 제안한다.

The recent advances in digital imaging and computing technology have resulted in a rapid accumulation of digital media in the personal computing and entertainment industry. In addition, large collections of such data already exist in many scientific application domains such as the geographic information systems (GIS), digital library, trademark imaging, satellite imaging and medical imaging. Thus, the need for content-based retrieval from visual media, such as image and video data, is ever increasing rapidly in many applications.

Recently, as the multimedia processing application increases rapidly by going on increasing multimedia data, the efficient retrieval method of image information is required in many fields of application and becoming the matter of major concern. Furthermore, in the last few years rapid improvements in hardware technology have made it possible to process, store and retrieve huge amounts of data in a multimedia format. As a result, Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) has been receiving widespread interest during the last decade. This paper propose the content-based retrieval system as a method for performing image retrieval through the effective feature analysis of the object of significant meaning by using YCbCr channel merging on the basis of the characteristics of man's visual system.
