Object-based image retrieval method is addressed. A new image segmentation algorithm and image comparing method between segmented objects are proposed. For image segmentation, color and texture features are extracted from each pixel in the image. These features we used as inputs into VQ (Vector Quantization) clustering method, which yields homogeneous objects in terns of color and texture. In this procedure, colors are quantized into a few dominant colors for simple representation and efficient retrieval. In retrieval case, two comparing schemes are proposed. Comparing between one query object and multi objects of a database image and comparing between multi query objects and multi objects of a database image are proposed. For fast retrieval, dominant object colors are key-indexed into database.

Wavelet transform used for content-based image retrieval has good performance in texture image. Image features for content-based image retrieval are color, texture, and shape. In this paper, we use color feature extracted from HSI color space known as most similar vision system to human vision system and texture feature extracted from wavelet histogram which has multiresolution property. Proposed method is compared with HSI color histogram method and wavelet histogram method. It is shown better performance.

In the field of content-based image retrieval, various mathematical low-level features have been proposed to describe the perceptual content of images. Since most of the features are assumed to be independent of each other, one feature is extracted from images without any consideration of the other features. Recently proposed CCE and SCFT taking advantage of the correlation between color and texture have shown relatively good performance. In this paper, the performance of CCE, SCFT, and the traditional regular weighted comparison method are evaluated. Simulation results with natural images have shown that CCE outperforms the other methods.

In this paper, we present a new texture image retrieval method which combines color and texture features extracted from images by a set of multi-resolution multi-direction (MRMD) filters. The MRMD filter set chosen is simple and can be separable to low and high frequency information, and provides efficient multi-resolution and multi-direction analysis. The color space used is HSV color space separable to hue, saturation, and value components, which are easily analyzed as showing characteristics similar to the human visual system. This experiment is conducted by comparing precision vs. recall of retrieval and feature vector dimensions. Images for experiments include Corel DB and VisTex DB; Corel_MR DB and VisTex_MR DB, which are transformed from the aforementioned two DBs to have multi-resolution images; and Corel_MD DB and VisTex_MD DB, transformed from the two DBs to have multi-direction images. According to the experimental results, the proposed method improves upon the existing methods in aspects of precision and recall of retrieval, and also reduces feature vector dimensions.

In this paper, a method of color image segmentation based on DBSCAN(Density Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise) using compactness of superpixels and texture information is presented. The DBSCAN algorithm can generate clusters in large data sets by looking at the local density of data samples, using only two input parameters which called minimum number of data and distance of neighborhood data. Superpixel algorithms group pixels into perceptually meaningful atomic regions, which can be used to replace the rigid structure of the pixel grid. Each superpixel is consist of pixels with similar features such as luminance, color, textures etc. Superpixels are more efficient than pixels in case of large scale image processing. In this paper, superpixels are generated by SLIC(simple linear iterative clustering) as known popular. Superpixel characteristics are described by compactness, uniformity, boundary precision and recall. The compactness is important features to depict superpixel characteristics. Each superpixel is represented by Lab color spaces, compactness and texture information. DBSCAN clustering method applied to these feature spaces to segment a color image. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, computer simulation is carried out to several outdoor images. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can provide good segmentation results on various images.

Objective image quality assessment (IQA) models have been developed by effective features to imitate the characteristics of human visual system (HVS). Actually, HVS is extremely sensitive to color degradation and complex texture changes. In this paper, we firstly reveal that many existing full reference image quality assessment (FR-IQA) methods can hardly measure the image quality with contrast and masking texture changes. To solve this problem, considering texture masking effect, we proposed a novel FR-IQA method, called Texture and Color Quality Index (TCQI). The proposed method considers both in the masking effect texture and color visual perceptual threshold, which adopts three kinds of features to reflect masking texture, color difference and structural information. Furthermore, random forest (RF) is used to address the drawbacks of existing pooling technologies. Compared with other traditional learning-based tools (support vector regression and neural network), RF can achieve the better prediction performance. Experiments conducted on five large-scale databases demonstrate that our approach is highly consistent with subjective perception, outperforms twelve the state-of-the-art IQA models in terms of prediction accuracy and keeps a moderate computational complexity. The cross database validation also validates our approach achieves the ability to maintain high robustness.

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.

본 논문에서는 조합된 텍스쳐와 칼라 정보로부터 다변수의 선형 구별 알고리즘을 사용하여 영상분할에 대한 새로운 방법론의 개발을 제시한다. 그 칼라 텍스쳐는 칼라 영상의 공간과 색깔의 밴드로부터 한 화소가 갖는 3X3의 마스크에서 Haralick 과 Pressman의 텍스쳐 특성들을 계산했다. 모두 9X28개의 텍스쳐 특성들 중에서 학습을 기반으로 크게 식별자(classifier)에 영향을 주는 특성들을 도출하였으며 결과적으로 뽑혀진 10개의 특성이 한 영상을 4부분으로 분할하는데 사용되어졌다. 이 방법론의 결과로 얻어진 영상은 고전적인 칼라와 텍스쳐 분할 방법론의 상자식별자(Box Classifier)와 Maximum Likelihood 식별기들과 비교했다. 이것은 Fastred-Lightgreen으로 염색된 전립선암이 조직에서 얻은 영상을 통해 비교를 했을 경우에 잘 나타난다. 학습 데이터를 통해 나타난 이 새로운 방법론은 97.5%의 정확한 식별성으로 또한 검증된 최상의 방법론중의 하나이다. 이 결과들이 더 많은 영상에 사용된다면, 이 방법론은 칼라와 텍스쳐가 분할에 관련됨으로써 보다 정확한 영상을 분할하기 위한 효율적인 도구가 될 것이다.

Recently, there has been an increase in the number of hazardous events, such as fire accidents. Monitoring systems that rely on human resources depend on people; hence, the performance of the system can be degraded when human operators are fatigued or tensed. It is easy to use fire alarm boxes; however, these are frequently activated by external factors such as temperature and humidity. We propose an approach to fire detection using an image processing technique. In this paper, we propose a fire detection method using multichannel information and gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) image features. Multi-channels consist of RGB, YCbCr, and HSV color spaces. The flame color and smoke texture information are used to detect the flames and smoke, respectively. The experimental results show that the proposed method performs better than the previous method in terms of accuracy of fire detection.
