현재 병원에서 사용 중인 PACS나 의료영상을 공유하기 위한 시스템들은 원하는 이미지를 검색할 때 환자에 대한 정보 등의 상위-레벨 메타데이터만을 사용한다. 이러한 검색은 환자에 대한 정화한 정보를 알고 있어야 검색이 가능하다는 단점이 있다. 의료영상 검색을 좀 더 효율적으로 수행하기 위하여 본 논문에서 개발한 시스템에는 현재 사용되고 있는 DICOM 기반의 상위-레벨 메타데이터들을 이용한 키워드 검색기능 이외에도 MPEG-7 기반의 하위-레벨 메타데이터들을 이용한 유사성 검색을 추가하였다. 그리고 두 가지 메타데이터들을 통합한 것을 검색조건으로 이용함으로써 보다 다양한 방법으로 의료영상 검색을 수행 할 수 있도록 하였다.

Indexing and Retrieving images from large and varied collections using image content as a key is a challenging and important problem in computer vision application. In this paper, a color Content-based Image Retrieval (CBIR) system using hierarchical Region of Interest (ROI) query and indexing is presented. During indexing process, First, The ROIs on every image in the image database are extracted using a region-based image segmentation technique, The JSEG approach is selected to handle this problem in order to create color-texture regions. Then, Color features in form of histogram and correlogram are then extracted from each segmented regions. Finally, The features are stored in the database as the key to retrieve the relevant images. As in the retrieval system, users are allowed to select ROI directly over the sample or user's submission image and the query process then focuses on the content of the selected ROI in order to find those images containing similar regions from the database. The hierarchical region-of-interest query is performed to retrieve the similar images. Two-level search is exploited in this paper. In the first level, the most important regions, usually the large regions at the center of user's query, are used to retrieve images having similar regions using static search. This ensures that we can retrieve all the images having the most important regions. In the second level, all the remaining regions in user's query are used to search from all the retrieved images obtained from the first level. The experimental results using the indexing technique show good retrieval performance over a variety of image collections, also great reduction in the amount of searching time.

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.

PACS and Medical Image System use only high level metadata in retrieving desired image nowadays. In order to retrieve Medical Image Data more efficiently, it would be needed to retrieve similarity by utilizing low level metadata as well as keyword retrieval by high level metadata. Thus, In this paper presents that it has realized similarity retrieval by low level metadata on the basis of MPEG-7, and keyword retrieval by high level metadata of DICOM base. It would be also available to look into medical image data in various methods and read accurate image promptly for diagnosis and treatment by retrieval with integrating two metadata.

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.

Digital image processing and retrieving have increasingly become very popular on the Internet and getting more attention from various multimedia fields. That results in additional privacy requirements placed on efficient image matching techniques in various applications. Hence, several searching methods have been developed when confidential images are used in image matching between pairs of security agencies, most of these search methods either limited by its cost or precision. This study proposes a secure and efficient method that preserves image privacy and confidentially between two communicating parties. To retrieve an image, feature vector is extracted from the given query image, and then the similarities with the stored database images features vector are calculated to retrieve the matched images based on an indexing scheme and matching strategy. We used a secure content-based image retrieval features detector algorithm called Speeded-Up Robust Features (SURF) algorithm over public cloud to extract the features and the Honey Encryption algorithm. The purpose of using the encrypted images database is to provide an accurate searching through encrypted documents without needing decryption. Progress in this area helps protect the privacy of sensitive data stored on the cloud. The experimental results (conducted on a well-known image-set) show that the performance of the proposed methodology achieved a noticeable enhancement level in terms of precision, recall, F-Measure, and execution time.

멀티미디어 데이터의 급격한 양적 팽창은 원하는 데이터를 빠르고 정확하게 검색해야 한다는 새로운 과제를 안겨주었다. 이러한 효율적 검색을 위해 가장 중요한 기반이 되는 것이 바로 데이터의 적절한 표준화이다. 2001년 국제 표준으로 제정된 MPEG-7은 바로 이러한 이유로 멀티미디어 데이터의 표현에 대한 표준화를 다루고 있다. 본 논문에서 설계한 시스템은 MPEG-7에서 요구하는 내용기반 검색 방법인 하위 레벨 메타데이터들을 이용한 유사성 검색과 상의 레벨 메타데이터들을 이용한 키워드 검색 기능을 제공할 것이다. 또한, 상위 레벨 메타데이터와 하위 레벨 메타데이터들을 통합하여 검색하는 기능을 제공하여 사용자가 원하는 멀티미디어 정보를 보다 효율적으로 검색할 수 있도록 할 것이다.

이미지와 같은 멀티미디어 정보들의 증가로 저수준의 시각 정보에서 고수준의 의미 정보를 추출하는 방법에 대한 연구가 이루어지고 있으며, 이러한 정보를 자동으로 생성하는 다양한 기술들이 연구되고 있다. 일반적으로 이미지 검색에 있어서 색상과 모양 등의 유사도를 이용하여 검색하는 경우가 많다. 색상과 모양이 비슷하다고 하여 의미까지 같은 이미지를 검색하기에는 어려움이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이미지에서 객체를 인식하기 위해 중간 계층 기술값을 이용하여 중간 계층의 의미 값으로 변환하며, 세그멘테이션의 성능을 높이기 위해 K-means알고리즘을 이용하여 각각의 이미지에 적합한 K값을 구하는 방법을 제안한다. 이렇게 세그멘테이션을 이용한 저수준 특징을 이용하여 객체를 추출하고, 온톨로지를 이용하여 의미관계를 추론한다. 제안하는 방법은 사용자가 생각하는 의미적으로 유사한 이미지를 보다 효율적으로 검색할 수 있다.

Traditional image steganography hides secret information by embedding, which inevitably leaves modification traces and is easy to be detected by steganography analysis tools. Since coverless steganography can effectively resist steganalysis, it has become a hotspot in information hiding research recently. Most coverless image steganography (CIS) methods are based on mapping rules, which not only exposes the vulnerability to geometric attacks, but also are less secure due to the revelation of mapping rules. To address the above issues, we introduced camouflage images for steganography instead of directly sending stego-image, which further improves the security performance and information hiding ability of steganography scheme. In particular, based on the different sub-features of stego-image and potential camouflage images, we try to find a larger similarity between them so as to achieve the reversible steganography. Specifically, based on the existing CIS mapping algorithm, we first can establish the correlation between stego-image and secret information and then transmit the camouflage images, which are obtained by reversible sub-feature retrieval algorithm. The received camouflage image can be used to reverse retrieve the stego-image in a public image database. Finally, we can use the same mapping rules to restore secret information. Extensive experimental results demonstrate the better robustness and security of the proposed approach in comparison to state-of-art CIS methods, especially in the robustness of geometric attacks.
