Current image retrieval techniques have shortcomings that make it difficult to search for images based on a semantic understanding of what the image is about. Since an image is normally associated with multiple contexts (e.g. when and where a picture was taken,) the knowledge of these contexts can enhance the quantity of semantic understanding of an image. In this paper, we present a context-aware image retrieval system, which uses the context information to infer a kind of metadata for the captured images as well as images in different collections and databases. Experimental results show that using these kinds of information can not only significantly increase the retrieval accuracy in conventional content-based image retrieval systems but decrease the problems arise by manual annotation in text-based image retrieval systems as well.

Most general content-based image retrieval techniques use color and texture as retrieval indices. Spatial information is not used to color histogram and color pair based on color retrieval techniques. This paper proposes the selection of a set of representative in the duplicated color histogram, the analysis of spatial information of the selected colors and the image retrieval process based on the duplicated color histogram and spatial information. Two color historgrams for background and object are used in order to decide on color selection in the duplicated color histogram. Spatial information is obtained using a maximum entropy discretization. A retrieval process applies to duplicated color histogram and spatial to retrieve input images and relevant images. As the result of experiment of the image retrieval, improved color his togram and spatial information method hs increased the retrieval effectiveness more the color histogram method and color pair method.

Amid rapidly increasing imagery inputs and their volume in a remote sensing imagery database, Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is an effective tool to search for an image feature or image content of interest a user wants to retrieve. It seeks to capture salient features from a 'query' image, and then to locate other instances of image region having similar features elsewhere in the image database. For a CBIR approach that uses texture as a primary feature primitive, designing a texture descriptor to better represent image contents is a key to improve CBIR results. For this purpose, an extended feature vector combining the Gabor filter and co-occurrence histogram method is suggested and evaluated for quantitywise and qualitywise retrieval performance criterion. For the better CBIR performance, assessing similarity between high dimensional feature vectors is also a challenging issue. Therefore a number of distance metrics (i.e. L1 and L2 norm) is tried to measure closeness between two feature vectors, and its impact on retrieval result is analyzed. In this paper, experimental results are presented with several CBIR samples. The current results show that 1) the overall retrieval quantity and quality is improved by combining two types of feature vectors, 2) some feature is better retrieved by a specific feature vector, and 3) retrieval result quality (i.e. ranking of retrieved image tiles) is sensitive to an adopted similarity metric when the extended feature vector is employed.

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.

Color, texture, and shape act as important information for images in human recognition. For content-based image retrieval, many studies have combined color, texture, and shape features to improve the retrieval performance. However, there have not been many powerful methods for combining all color, texture, and shape features. This study proposes a content-based image retrieval method that uses the combined local and global features of color, texture, and shape. The color features are extracted from the color autocorrelogram; the texture features are extracted from the magnitude of a complete local binary pattern and the Gabor local correlation revealing local image characteristics; and the shape features are extracted from singular value decomposition that reflects global image characteristics. In this work, an experiment is performed to compare the proposed method with those that use our partial features and some existing techniques. The results show an average precision that is 19.60% higher than those of existing methods and 9.09% higher than those of recent ones. In conclusion, our proposed method is superior over other methods in terms of retrieval performance.

현재 우리는 언제 어디에서나 다양한 음악을 들을 수 있다. 길거리나 카페 등에서 음악을 듣고 그 노래를 다시 듣고 싶어 찾으려 할 때 해당 음악의 가수나 노래 제목을 모른다면 그 음악을 찾을 수 없는 것이 현재 음악 검색 방식의 단점이다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 음원의 음 정보를 추출하여 데이터베이스를 구축하고 찾고자 하는 음악의 허밍을 녹음하거나 듣고 있는 음악을 직접 녹음하여 검색하는 방법 및 전자 악기를 연주하여 검색하는 내용 기반의 검색 방법을 연구하였다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 많은 내용 기반 음원 검색 논문, 특허 및 시스템을 분석하였으며, 이를 기반으로 내용 기반 검색 방법을 연구하였다. 즉, 허밍과 음악을 직접 녹음하여 검색하는 경우 음과 음원을 고속 푸리에 변환하여 주파수 정보를 추출하였으며, 악기를 연주하여 검색하는 경우 미디 파일을 사용하였다. 그리고 동적 정합 매칭방식을 사용하여, 매칭 시 음원과 입력 음간의 길이차를 극복하였다.

멀티미디어 컨텐츠가 급격히 증가함에 따라 사용자들은 다양한 유통 경로를 통하여 많은 멀티미디어 컨텐츠를 이용할 수 있게 되었다. 내용기반 영상 검색시스템은 영상 데이터의 내용을 다양한 시각적 특정 값들로 표현하여, 수많은 영상 중에서 사용자가 원하는 영상을 검색하고 원하지 않는 영상을 필터링 하도록 한다. 그러나 멀티미디어 데이터의 편집은 영상 데이터의 고유한 시각적 특정 값들을 왜곡시켜 잘못된 검색 결과나 필터링 결과를 제공하여 내용기반 영상 검색시스템의 성능을 저하시킨다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 영상편집효과 가운데 글자삽입, 프레임의 삽입, 그리고 여러 영상으로의 구성과 같은 편집효과에 대해 분석하고 이러한 편집효과를 제거하는 알고리즘을 고려한 내용기반 검색시스템을 제안하였으며, 실험을 통해 향상된 검색 결과를 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, a new content-based color image retrieval method is proposed, in which both the color content and the spatial relationship of image have been taken into account. In order to represent the spatial distribution information of image, a disorder matrix, which has the invariance to the rotation and translation of the image content, has been designed. This is based on multi-resolution color-spatial information. We present our algorithm in the following section, and then verified the search results with comparison to other methods, such as color histogram, wavelet histogram, correlogram and wavelet correlogram. Experimental results with various types of images show that the proposed method not only achieves a high image retrieval performance but also improve the retrieval precision.

In this paper, we propose a robust music retrieval system based on the content analysis of music. New feature extraction method called Multi-Feature Clustering (MFC) is proposed for the robust and optimum performance of the music retrieval system. It is demonstrated that the use of MFC significantly improves the system stability of music retrieval with better classification accuracy.
