Book excerpt: Content based image retrieval (CBIR) has become a popular area of research for both computer vision and multimedia communities. It aims at organizing digital picture archives by analyzing their visual contents. CBIR techniques make use of these visual contents to retrieve in response to any particular query. Note that this differs from traditional retrieval systems based on keywords to search images. Due to widespread variations in the images of standard image databases, achieving high precision and recall for retrieval remains a challenging task. In the recent past, many CBIR algorithms have applied Bag of Visual Words (BoVW) for modeling the visual contents of images. Though BoVW has emerged as a popular image content descriptor, it has some important limitations which can in turn adversely affect the retrieval performance. Image retrieval has many applications in diverse fields including healthcare, biometrics, digital libraries, historical research and many more (da Silva Torres and Falcao, 2006). In the retrieval system, two kinds of approaches are mainly followed, namely, Text-Based Image Retrieval (TBIR) and Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR). The former approach requires a lot of hu- man effort, and time and perception. Content based image retrieval is a technique that enables an user to extract similar images based on a query from a database containing large number of images.The basic issue in designing a CBIR system is to select the image features that best represent the image content in a database. As a part of a CBIR system, one has to apply appropriate visual content descriptors to represent these images. A query image should be represented similarly. Then, based on some measures of similarity, a set of images would be retrieved from the avail- able image database. The relevance feedback part, which incorporates inputs from a user, can be an optional block in a CBIR system. The fundamental problem in CBIR is how to transform the visual contents into distinctive features for dissimilar images, and into similar features for images that look alike. BoVW has emerged as a popular model for representing the visual content of an image in the recent past. It tries to bridge the gap between low level visual features and high-level semantic features to some extent.

Download or read book Integrated Region Based Image Retrieval written by James Z. Wang and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Content-based image retrieval is the set of techniques for retrieving relevant images from an image database on the basis of automatically derived image features. The need for efficient content-based image re trieval has increased tremendously in many application areas such as biomedicine, the military, commerce, education, and Web image clas sification and searching. In the biomedical domain, content-based im age retrieval can be used in patient digital libraries, clinical diagnosis, searching of 2-D electrophoresis gels, and pathology slides. I started my work on content-based image retrieval in 1995 when I was with Stanford University. The project was initiated by the Stan ford University Libraries and later funded by a research grant from the National Science Foundation. The goal was to design and implement a computer system capable of indexing and retrieving large collections of digitized multimedia data available in the libraries based on the media contents. At the time, it seemed reasonable to me that I should discover the solution to the image retrieval problem during the project. Experi ence has certainly demonstrated how far we are as yet from solving this basic problem.
Download or read book Semantic and Interactive Content based Image Retrieval written by Björn Barz and published by Cuvillier Verlag. This book was released on 2020-12-23 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Content-based Image Retrieval (CBIR) ist ein Verfahren zum Auffinden von Bildern in großen Datenbanken wie z. B. dem Internet anhand ihres Inhalts. Ausgehend von einem vom Nutzer bereitgestellten Anfragebild, gibt das System eine sortierte Liste ähnlicher Bilder zurück. Der Großteil moderner CBIR-Systeme vergleicht Bilder ausschließlich anhand ihrer visuellen Ähnlichkeit, d.h. dem Vorhandensein ähnlicher Texturen, Farbkompositionen etc. Jedoch impliziert visuelle Ähnlichkeit nicht zwangsläufig auch semantische Ähnlichkeit. Zum Beispiel können Bilder von Schmetterlingen und Raupen als ähnlich betrachtet werden, weil sich die Raupe irgendwann in einen Schmetterling verwandelt. Optisch haben sie jedoch nicht viel gemeinsam. Die vorliegende Arbeit stellt eine Methode vor, welche solch menschliches Vorwissen über die Semantik der Welt in Deep-Learning-Verfahren integriert. Als Quelle für dieses Wissen dienen Taxonomien, die für eine Vielzahl von Domänen verfügbar sind und hierarchische Beziehungen zwischen Konzepten kodieren (z.B., ein Pudel ist ein Hund ist ein Tier etc.). Diese hierarchiebasierten semantischen Bildmerkmale verbessern die semantische Konsistenz der CBIR-Ergebnisse im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Repräsentationen und Merkmalen erheblich. Darüber hinaus werden drei verschiedene Mechanismen für interaktives Image Retrieval präsentiert, welche die den Anfragebildern inhärente semantische Ambiguität durch Einbezug von Benutzerfeedback auflösen. Eine der vorgeschlagenen Methoden reduziert das erforderliche Feedback mithilfe von Clustering auf einen einzigen Klick, während eine andere den Nutzer kontinuierlich involviert, indem das System aktiv nach Feedback zu denjenigen Bildern fragt, von denen der größte Erkenntnisgewinn bezüglich des Relevanzmodells erwartet wird. Die dritte Methode ermöglicht dem Benutzer die Auswahl besonders interessanter Bildbereiche zur Fokussierung der Ergebnisse. Diese Techniken liefern bereits nach wenigen Feedbackrunden deutlich relevantere Ergebnisse, was die Gesamtmenge der abgerufenen Bilder reduziert, die der Benutzer überprüfen muss, um relevante Bilder zu finden. Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) aims for finding images in large databases such as the internet based on their content. Given an exemplary query image provided by the user, the retrieval system provides a ranked list of similar images. Most contemporary CBIR systems compare images solely by means of their visual similarity, i.e., the occurrence of similar textures and the composition of colors. However, visual similarity does not necessarily coincide with semantic similarity. For example, images of butterflies and caterpillars can be considered as similar, because the caterpillar turns into a butterfly at some point in time. Visually, however, they do not have much in common. In this work, we propose to integrate such human prior knowledge about the semantics of the world into deep learning techniques. Class hierarchies serve as a source for this knowledge, which are readily available for a plethora of domains and encode is-a relationships (e.g., a poodle is a dog is an animal etc.). Our hierarchy-based semantic embeddings improve the semantic consistency of CBIR results substantially compared to conventional image representations and features. We furthermore present three different mechanisms for interactive image retrieval by incorporating user feedback to resolve the inherent semantic ambiguity present in the query image. One of the proposed methods reduces the required user feedback to a single click using clustering, while another keeps the human in the loop by actively asking for feedback regarding those images which are expected to improve the relevance model the most. The third method allows the user to select particularly interesting regions in images. These techniques yield more relevant results after a few rounds of feedback, which reduces the total amount of retrieved images the user needs to inspect to find relevant ones.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is Image Retrieval An image retrieval system is a computer system used for browsing, searching and retrieving images from a large database of digital images. Most traditional and common methods of image retrieval utilize some method of adding metadata such as captioning, keywords, title or descriptions to the images so that retrieval can be performed over the annotation words. Manual image annotation is time-consuming, laborious and expensive; to address this, there has been a large amount of research done on automatic image annotation. Additionally, the increase in social web applications and the semantic web have inspired the development of several web-based image annotation tools.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC BY-NC 2.5 license. This book presents the VISCERAL project benchmarks for analysis and retrieval of 3D medical images (CT and MRI) on a large scale, which used an innovative cloud-based evaluation approach where the image data were stored centrally on a cloud infrastructure and participants placed their programs in virtual machines on the cloud. The book presents the points of view of both the organizers of the VISCERAL benchmarks and the participants. The book is divided into five parts. Part I presents the cloud-based benchmarking and Evaluation-as-a-Service paradigm that the VISCERAL benchmarks used. Part II focuses on the datasets of medical images annotated with ground truth created in VISCERAL that continue to be available for research. It also covers the practical aspects of obtaining permission to use medical data and manually annotating 3D medical images efficiently and effectively. The VISCERAL benchmarks are described in Part III, including a presentation and analysis of metrics used in evaluation of medical image analysis and search. Lastly, Parts IV and V present reports by some of the participants in the VISCERAL benchmarks, with Part IV devoted to the anatomy benchmarks and Part V to the retrieval benchmark. This book has two main audiences: the datasets as well as the segmentation and retrieval results are of most interest to medical imaging researchers, while eScience and computational science experts benefit from the insights into using the Evaluation-as-a-Service paradigm for evaluation and benchmarking on huge amounts of data.
