이 논문에서는 영상 검색(image retrieval) 및 영상 부류(image categorization)을 위하여 영상을 기술할 때 영상의 클레스(class)별로 서로 다른 주요 특징량(feature)에 가중치 를 주는 방법론을 제안한다. 기존에 연구되어온 영상의 특징량 벡터에 가중치를 주는 방식은 모든 영상 클레스에 대하여 동일하게 가중치를 적용하기 때문에 영상이 클레스별로 서로 다른 특징량이 중요하다는 성질을 이용할 수 없다. 영상이 클레 별로 서로 다른 특징량이 중요하다는 성질을 이용하기 위하여 영상의 클레스별로 특징량 벡터에 서로 다른 가중치 벡터(weight vector)를 학습하였다. 그 후 질의 영상(query image)이 입력되면, 기존의 영상 검색 프레임워크(framework)를 통해 데이터베이 스(database)로 부터 미리 정의된 서브 클레스(sub-class)의 수에 해당하는 영상부 집합(subset)을 만들었다. 그리고 영상부 집합의 특징량 벡터들에 클레스별로 각각 학습된 가중치 벡터를 적용하여 특징량 벡터들 간의 거리를 다시 계산하여 리랭킹(re-ranking)하였다. 이 방법론을 UKBench Dataset에 적용하여 실험을 해보았으며 가중치를 주기 전과 비교 하였을 때 더 높은 정확도를 보였다.

In this paper, we propose an efficient method of face retrieval by using PCA(principal component analysis) based features. The coarse-to-fine strategy is adopted to sort the retrieval results in the lower dimensional eigenface space and to rearrange candidates at high ranks in higher dimensional eigenface space. To evaluate similarity between a query face image and class reference image, we utilize the PD (projection distance), MQDF(modified quadratic distance function) and MED(minimum Euclidean distance). The experimental results show that the proposed method which rearrange the retrieval results incrementally by using projection distance is efficient for face image retrieval.

PACS mostly has been used in large scaled hospital due to expensive initial cost to set up the system. The network of PACS is independent of the others: network. The user's PC has to be connected physically to the network of PACS as well as the image viewer has to be installed. The web based mini-PACS can store, manage and search inexpensively a large quantity of radiologic image acquired in a hospital. The certificated user can search and diagnose the radiologic image using web browser anywhere Internet connected. The implemented Image viewer is a viewer to diagnose the radiologic image. Which support the DICOM standard and was implemented to use JAVA programming technology. The JAVA program language is cross-platform which makes easier upgrade the system than others. The image filter was added to the viewer so as to diagnose the radiologic image in detail. In order to access to the database, the user activates his web browser to specify the URL of the web based PACS. Thus, The invoked PERL script generates an HTML file, which displays a query form with two fields: Patient name and Patient ID. The user fills out the form and submits his request via the PERL script that enters the search into the relational database to determine the patient who is corresponding to the input criteria. The user selects a patient and obtains a display list of the patient's personal study and images.

The Image retrieval has been study different approaches which are text-based, contents-based, area-based method and sub-image finding. The sub-image retrieval is to find a query image in the target one. In this paper, we propose a novel sub-image retrieval algorithm by Dot-Matrix method to be used in the bioinformatics. Dot-Matrix is a method to evaluate similarity between two sequences and we redefine the problem for retrieval of sub-image to the finding similarity of two images. For the approach, the 2 dimensional array of image converts a the vector which has gray-scale value. The 2 converted images align by dot-matrix and the result shows candidate sub-images. We used 10 images as target and 5 queries: duplicated, small scaled, and large scaled images included x-axes and y-axes scaled one for experiment.

The image information, used most frequently in multimedia, is visual and spatial information. It has several characters including the diversity of storage and output methods, large capacity, spatial relationship expression, and irregularity. Therefore, the various researches for methods of storing efficiently, managing, searching such image data are going on. And recently, it has arisen the movement of international standardization, MPEG-7 for searching contents base in multimedia environment. Especially, the research for implementation of more effective image database searching system important subject, because the practical image search system which can storage a lot of image information as database and query, search them has not generalized. Now the image search system based on text has researched to high degree, but it has many shortages so that nowadays the researches for searching system based on contents are going on. This research has used the wavelet conversion largely using in image processing instead of DCT method largely using in existent system, and so it had met similar and precise results than prior methods by image compression and extraction of specific vector.

In this paper, we present am image retrieval method based on color-spatial features using quadtree and texture information extracted from object MBRs in an image. Tile proposed method consists of creating a DC image from an original image, changing a color coordinate system, and decomposing regions using quadtree. As such, conditions are present to decompose the DC image, then the system extracts representative colors from each region. And, image segmentation is used to search for object MBRs, including object themselves, object included in the background, or certain background region, then the wavelet coefficients are calculated to provide texture information. Experiments were conducted using the proposed similarity method based on color-spatial and texture features. Our method was able to refute the amount of feature vector storage by about 53%, but was similar to the original image as regards precision and recall. Furthermore, to make up for the deficiency in using only color-spatial features, texture information was added and the results showed images that included objects from the query images.

At present, the Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) system has become a hot research topic in the computer vision field. In the CBIR system, the accurate extractions of low-level features can reduce the gaps between high-level semantics and improve retrieval precision. This paper puts forward a new retrieval method aiming at the problems of high computational complexities and low precision of global feature extraction algorithms. The establishment of the new retrieval method is on the basis of the SIFT and Harris (APISH) algorithm, and the salient region of interest points (SRIP) algorithm to satisfy users' interests in the specific targets of images. In the first place, by using the IPDSH and SRIP algorithms, we tested stable interest points and found salient regions. The interest points in the salient region were named as salient interest points. Secondary, we extracted the pseudo-Zernike moments of the salient interest points' neighborhood as the feature vectors. Finally, we calculated the similarities between query and database images. Finally, We conducted this experiment based on the Caltech-101 database. By studying the experiment, the results have shown that this new retrieval method can decrease the interference of unstable interest points in the regions of non-interests and improve the ratios of accuracy and recall.

Recently, many vision-based navigation methods have been introduced as an intelligent robot application. However, many of these methods mainly focus on finding an image in the database corresponding to a query image. Thus, if the environment changes, for example, objects moving in the environment, a robot is unlikely to find consistent corresponding points with one of the database images. To solve these problems, we propose a novel navigation strategy which uses fast motion estimation and a practical scene recognition scheme preparing the kidnapping problem, which is defined as the problem of re-localizing a mobile robot after it is undergone an unknown motion or visual occlusion. This algorithm is based on motion estimation by a camera to plan the next movement of a robot and an efficient outlier rejection algorithm for scene recognition. Experimental results demonstrate the capability of the vision-based autonomous navigation against dynamic environments.

본 논문에서는 최근 IT 기술의 발전에 따라 무수히 양산되고 있는 멀티미디어 데이터를 효율적으로 검색하기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 영상 검색 시스템에 사용되는 데이터베이스(DB) 영상들에 존재하는 각 객체들의 존재 영역을 기반으로 질의 영상 (query image)의 객체 영역을 추정해서 검색에 활용하는 것이다. 이는 질의 영상의 전체 영역으로부터 객체를 추정하는 것보다 데이터베이스 영상들로부터 추출한 통계적 객체 분포 범위를 기반으로 추정하기 때문에 빨리 객체 추출이 가능하도록 한다. 따라서 객체를 추출하기 위한 배경 지식이나, 사용자 입력이 전혀 필요 없다. 이렇게 추출된 객체 영역의 영상들로부터 GLCM 알고리즘을 이용해서 객체 영역의 특성이 잘 반영된 질감 특징 값을 바탕으로 검색에 활용 할 경우 원본 영상의 질감 특징을 활용한 경우보다, 객체의 질감 특징을 더 잘 반영한다는 것을 실험을 통해 확인할 수 있었다.
