Existing image search systems allow users to search images by keywords, or by example images through content-based image retrieval (CBIR). On the other hand, users might learn more relevant textual information about an image from its text captions or surrounding contexts within documents or Web pages. Without such contexts, it's difficult to extract semantic description directly from the image content. In this paper, we propose an annotation watermarking system for users to embed text descriptions, and retrieve more relevant textual information from similar images. First, tags associated with an image are converted by two-dimensional code and embedded into the image by discrete wavelet transform (DWT). Next, for images without annotations, similar images can be obtained by CBIR techniques and embedded annotations can be extracted. Specifically, we use global features such as color ratios and dominant sub-image colors for preliminary filtering. Then, local features such as Scale-Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) descriptors are extracted for similarity matching. This design can achieve good effectiveness with reasonable processing time in practical systems. Our experimental results showed good accuracy in retrieving similar images and extracting relevant tags from similar images.

In this paper, the method of image segmentation based on a pyramid of reduced resolution versions of the input input image is persented. In a pyramid structure, two regions (a given pixel and its mother pixels) are compared by the proposed inverse-mother-son variance ratio (IMSVR) method for the detection of an optinal object pixel and are determined whether they are similar enough to be viewed as one region or disparate to be viewed as ditinct regions By the proposed method, an l`timal object pixel has been setectedat some level, it is necessary to retrieve its boundary precisely. Moving down the pyramid to levels of higher resolution is requires. In this paper, the top-sown pyramid traversing algorithm for an image segmentation using a pyrmid structure is presented. Using the computer simulation, the results by the proposed statistical method and object traversing method are investigated for the binary image and the real image at the results of computer simulation, the proposed method of image segmentation based on a pyramid structure seem to have useful properties and deserve consideration as a possible alternative to existing methods of omage segmentation. The computation for the proposed method is required 0 (log n), for an TEX>$n{\times}n$ input image.

본 논문에서는 쉽게 즐길 수 있는 미니 게임과 같은 콘텐츠에서 이미지 검색 기술을 이용하여 게임에 적합한 이미지를 찾을 수 있고 또한 게임 난이도를 조절할 수 있는 방법도 보여준다. 본 방법에서는 영상처리 기술에서 내용기반 영상검색 방법 중의 색상과 질감 특징 값들을 추출하는 기술을 이용한다. 본 논문에서는 이를 이용하여 미니게임인 카드 짝 맞추기 게임에서 게임 안에 사용되는 카드 이미지를 자동으로 선택하게 한다. 이때 검색 기준이 되는 이미지(시드 이미지)의 개수를 조절하여 게임의 난이도에 적용 할 수 있는 것을 보여준다. 실험을 통하여 기존의 영상검색을 이용할 경우 게임에서 부적합 할 수 있는 이미지가 검색되는 문제가 나오는데 반하여 본 논문에서는 게임에 활용하기 용이한 이미지를 검색 할 수 있다는 것을 보여준다.

In the last few years rapid improvements in hardware technology have made it possible to process, store and retrieve huge amounts of data ina multimedia format. As a result, Content-Based Image Retrieval(CBIR) has been receiving widespred interest during the last decade. This paper propose the content-based retrieval system as a method for performing image retrieval throught the effective feature analysis of the object of significant meaning by using texture descriptor.

In order to retrieve the rotated image within database by the content based image retrieval system, the algorithms with rotation robustness is usually applied in the procedure of the feature extraction. In that case, it requires much calculation time for feature extraction and much indexed data for feature indexing. Thus. in this paper. we propose the rotation robust algorithm using the block variance of the projected vector. The algorithm does not require additional calculation for feature extraction and is executed within query time by comparing the extracted data. Proposed method can be processed through database including various size of images with shape information and executed with fast response time in implementation.

Abstract : Multimedia data now one of the widely used information in all the fields as the fast developments of computer techniques have been made. Traditional database systems based on textual information have limitations when applied to multimedia information. This is because simple textual descriptions are ambiguous and inadequate for searching multimedia information for multimedia databases and digital libraries. Thus, especially for image data, which is one of the important multimedia information types, which can retrieve and browse image data on the basis of pictorial queries. Therefore, this paper presents an efficient method for describing texture information in image data.

Small PACS based on a personal computer or CR has initially been designed to improve the performance of cost-effective PACS implementation. In that system, Wavelet compression scheme is newly adopted to store images hierarchically to storage unit, and retrieve and display images progressively or display workstation. In this compression method, image is decomposed into subclasses of image by wavelet transform, and then the subclasses of image are vector quantized using a multiresolution codebook.

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.

A novel speckle-shifting ghost imaging (SSGI) technique is proposed in this paper. This method can effectively extract the edge of an unknown object without achieving its clear ghost image beforehand. However, owing to the imaging mechanism of SSGI, the imaging result generally contains serious noise. To solve the problem, we further propose a simple and effective method to remove noise from the speckle-shifting ghost image with a connected-region labeling (CRL) algorithm. In this method, two ghost images of an object are first generated according to SSGI. A threshold and the CRL are then used to remove noise from the imaging results in turn. This method can retrieve a high-quality image of an object with fewer measurements. Numerical simulations are carried out to verify the feasibility and effectiveness.
