Social network services allow you to share your thoughts and preferences more easily. They share your views with a large number of people who are friends with you without restriction of time or place. In the IoT environment, the amount of data is massively increasing as social network services spread rapidly. This change in the environment is driving the need for research into new retrieval methods that are different from conventional retrieval methods. In this paper, we propose a progressive retrieval method using the intimacy of social network users in the IoT. The first thing is to extract the user with the highest intimacy by using the property that the number of the owner of the information stored in the IoT environment is small. By accessing information in objects owned by these extracted users, the amount of information retrieved is reduced. It also improves retrieval efficiency by gradually retrieving information according to the user's level of interest. We present a new retrieval method and algorithm. The scenario also illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In progressive image coding, if object region that have main contents in image are transmitted prior to the remained region, this method will be very useful. In this paper, the progressive image coding based on SPIHT using object region transmission method by priority is proposed. First, an original image is transformed by wavelet. Median filtering is used about wavelet transformed coefficient region for extracting object region. This extracted object region encoded by SPIHT. Then encoded object region are transmitted in advance of the remained region. This method is good to a conventional progressive image coding about entire original image. Experimental results show that the proposed method can be very effectively used for image coding applications such as internet retrieval and database searching system.

In case of remote image retrieval via shared network or low speed link in order to make a decision for target image problems such as transmission delay are encountered. In this paper browsing and optimization techniques are proposed for fast retrieval of Image by the multiresolution representation and progressive transmission. The proposed network model was analyzed and evaluated for system's performance improvement. Interactive user-system using several multiresolution representation has shown better performance in transmission delay minimization over the single resolution image retrieval system.

We propose a progressive image retrieval method based on an efficient combination of multiresolution color and torture features in wavelet transform domain. As a color feature, color autocorrelogram of the hue and saturation components is chosen. As texture features, BDIP and BVLC moments of the value component are chosen. For the selected features, we obtain multiresolution feature vectors which are extracted from all decomposition levels in wavelet domain. The multiresolution feature vectors of the color and texture features are efficiently combined by the normalization depending on their dimensions and standard deviation vector, respectively, vector components of the features are efficiently quantized in consideration of their storage space, and computational complexity in similarity computation is reduced by using progressive retrieval strategy. Experimental results show that the proposed method yields average $15\%$ better performance in precision vs. recall and average 0.2 in ANMRR than the methods using color histogram color autocorrelogram SCD, CSD, wavelet moments, EHD, BDIP and BVLC moments, and combination of color histogram and wavelet moments, respectively. Specially, the proposed method shows an excellent performance over the other methods in image DBs contained images of various resolutions.

This paper proposes an efficient photo retrieval system that automatically indexes for searching of relevant images, using a combination of geo-coded information, direction/location of image capture device and content-based visual features. A photo image is labeled with its GPS (Global Positioning System) coordinates and direction of the camera view at the moment of capture, and the label leads to generate a geo-spatial index with three core elements of latitude, longitude and viewing direction. Then, content-based visual features are extracted and combined with the geo-spatial information, for indexing and retrieving the photo images. For user's querying process, the proposed method adopts two steps as a progressive approach, filtering the relevant subset prior to use a content-based ranking function. To evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme, we assess the simulation performance in terms of average precision and F-score, using a natural photo collection. Comparing the proposed approach to retrieve using only visual features, an improvement of 20.8% was observed. The experimental results show that the proposed method exhibited a significant enhancement of around 7.2% in retrieval effectiveness, compared to previous work. These results reveal that a combination of context and content analysis is markedly more efficient and meaningful that using only visual feature for image search.

Data distribution is one of the most important steps in distributed database design. This paper proposes a methodology for distributing database by using a relational schema as an input. A design support system called DBDD (Database Distribution Design) is implemented within the framework of this methodology. The methodology consists of three phases such as (i) schema analysis, (ii) fragmentation, and (iii) allocation. In the schema analysis phase, all the table names are acquired from a global relational schema. In the fragmentation phase, fragments are generated according to transaction retrieval patterns. Furthermore, DBDD enhances the design quality by allocating fragments in a progressive manner. A real-life case is illustrated to demonstrate the practical usefulness of the DBDD.

Multi-view 영상 DB의 surround view 입체 화상을 재현하기 위해서는 영상 정보를 효과적으로 합성, 보간하는 방법이 필연적으로 요구된다. 다시점 입체 영상의 표시 기능을 구현하기 위해서 이론적으로는 충분한 개수의 카메라를 상하 좌우로 배치하여 영상을 획득하고 보는 이의 위치에 가장 적합한 영상을 선택하여 표현하면 된다. 이 경우 많은 수의 카메라로부터 입력되는 방대한 영상 데이터의 저장, 처리, 전송, 설치 문제 등 현실적으로 많은 제약점이 존재한다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 기존의 블록 매칭과 같은 3D 구조 추정에 기초하여 블록 단위의 깊이 정보와 텍스쳐 정보의 추출, 다시점 영상 set의 가장 왼쪽 영상으로부터 시작하여 차례로 한 줄씩 쌓아서 얻어진 EPI(Epipolar Plane Image)에 기초한 유사 영상 값의 자취선 탐색 방법에 의한 시차와 텍스쳐 정보 추출로 전체 다안화상을 다해상도로 표현하여 전송하는 방식을 제안한다. 다해상도의 영상 표현과 점진적 전송 방법을 통해 다시점 영상 검색 시스템의 성능향상을 위한 네트워크 모델링을 제안하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study is to estimate the spherical wave parameters that appears in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image acquired over the coast of Chukk, Micronesia. The retrieval of ocean wave parameters consists of two main stages: the first is to determine the dominant wavelengths by Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) over 16 sub-image areas and the second is to estimate wave slopes and heights using dispersion relationship under various water wave conditions. It is assumed that the spherical waves are linear and progressive. These type of waves have the range and azimuth components traveling in radial directions. The azimuth travelling waves are more affected by the velocity bunching mechanism and it is difficult to estimate the wave parameters for these affected areas in SAR imagery. In order to compensate these effects, the velocity bunching ratio (VBR) based on modulation transfer function (MTF) was compared with the intensity ratio for neighbor area in the radial direction in order to assign the spherical wave properties for azimuthally travelling waves. Dispersion relation provides the good estimates for the wave heights for all the selected sub-image areas in the range of 1m to 2m. VBR based on MTF was found to be 0.78 at wave height of 1.36m, while the intensity-based VBR was 0.69 which corresponds to the height of 1.75m. It can be said that the velocity bunching accounts for azimuthally travelling spherical waves and the difference results from the sea-bottom effects.
