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.

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.

In this paper we propose an expert system for content-based image retrieval with object database. The proposed system finds keyword by using knowledge-base and feature of extracted object, and retrieves image by using keyword based image retrieval method. The system can decrease error of image retrieval and save running time. The system also checks whether similar objects exist or not. If not, user can store information of object in object database. Proposed system is flexible and extensible, enabling experts to incrementally add more knowledge and information. Experimental results show that the proposed system is more effective than existing content-based image retrieval method in running time and precision.

본 논문에서는 비디오 데이터가 지니는 이동 객체의 궤적(Moving Object's Trajectory)을 효과적으로 모델링할 수 있는 시공간 표현 기법(Spatio-Temporal Representation Scheme)과 궤적을 이용한 사용자 질의에 대해 효율적인 검색을 위한 새로운 시그니쳐 기반 접근 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 시공간 표현 기법은 궤적을 기반으로 하는 내용 기반 검색(Content-based Retrieval)과 궤적에서 일어나는 위치 정보를 통해 얻어진 개념(의미)을 이용한 개념 기반 검색(Concept-based Retrieval)을 지원한다. 아울러, 제안하는 시그니쳐 기반 접근 기법은 데이터 파일을 직접 접근하기 전에 전체 시그니쳐들은 탐색하여 필터링을 수행한 후, 검색된 후보 시그니쳐들에 대해서만 디스크를 접근하기 때문에 순차 탐색에 비해 많은 수의 디스크 접근 횟수를 감소시킴으로써 검색 성능을 향상시킨다. 마지막으로, 성능 평가를 통해 제안하는 방법이 검색 효과(Retrieval Effectiveness) 및 효율(Retrieval Efficiency) 측면에서 기존의 방법인 Li나 Shan의 방법에 비해 우수함을 보인다.

본 논문에서는 내용 기반 영상 검색 시스템(Content Based Image Retrieval System)의 특징 추출(feature extraction)과 분석(analysis)을 위한 방법으로 적응적 컴포넌트 분석(ACA: Adaptive Component Analysis)을 제안하고 있다. 검색을 위해서 영상에서 추출된 특징들은 영상의 도메인(domain)에 따라 적절하게 적용해야만 좋은 검색 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 이러한 조건을 만족시키기 위한 방법으로 본 논문에서는 검색 측정도(retrieval measurement)를 제안하고 있다. ACA는 알고리즘과 시스템적인 관점에서 볼 때, 기존의 내용 기반 영상 검색을 위한 중간 단계라고 할 수 있으며, 검색 속도 향상 및 성능 개선에 목표를 두고 있다.

The search for relevant and actionable information is a key to achieving clinical and research goals in biomedicine. Biomedical information exists in different forms: as text and illustrations in journal articles and other documents, in images stored in databases, and as patients' cases in electronic health records. This paper presents ways to move beyond conventional text-based searching of these resources, by combining text and visual features in search queries and document representation. A combination of techniques and tools from the fields of natural language processing, information retrieval, and content-based image retrieval allows the development of building blocks for advanced information services. Such services enable searching by textual as well as visual queries, and retrieving documents enriched by relevant images, charts, and other illustrations from the journal literature, patient records and image databases.

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.

Content-based image retrieval is an approach used to query images based on their semantics. Semantic based retrieval has its application in all fields including medicine, space, computing etc. Semantically generated binary hash codes can improve content-based image retrieval. These semantic labels / binary hash codes can be generated from unlabeled data using convolutional autoencoders. Proposed approach uses semi-supervised deep hashing with semantic learning and binary code generation by minimizing the objective function. Convolutional autoencoders are basis to extract semantic features due to its property of image generation from low level semantic representations. These representations of images are more effective than simple feature extraction and can preserve better semantic information. Proposed activation and loss functions helped to minimize classification error and produce better hash codes. Most widely used datasets have been used for verification of this approach that outperforms the existing methods.

Information identification with image data by means of low-level visual features has evolved as a challenging research domain. Conventional text-based mapping of image data has been gradually replaced by content-based techniques of image identification. Feature extraction from image content plays a crucial role in facilitating content-based detection processes. In this paper, the authors have proposed four different techniques for multiview feature extraction from images. The efficiency of extracted feature vectors for content-based image classification and retrieval is evaluated by means of fusion-based and data standardization-based techniques. It is observed that the latter surpasses the former. The proposed methods outclass state-of-the-art techniques for content-based image identification and show an average increase in precision of 17.71% and 22.78% for classification and retrieval, respectively. Three public datasets - Wang; Oliva and Torralba (OT-Scene); and Corel - are used for verification purposes. The research findings are statistically validated by conducting a paired t-test.
