Content-Based Retrieval From Compressed-Image Databases, Philip Ogunbona, P Sangassapaviriya

There is an enormous amount of multi-media data including images, video, speech, audio and text, distributed among the various computer nodes on the Internet. The extent to which a user wiU be able to derive useful information from these data depends largely on the ease with which required data can be retrieved from the databases. The share volume of the data also poses a storage constraint on the databases; hence these data will need to exist in the compressed form on the databases. In this paper we concentrate on image data and propose a new paradigm in which a compressed …

For image database applications it is desirable that functions such as searching, browsing and partial recall be done without the need to totally decompress the image. This has the advantage of alleviating possible burden and degradation that the network may suffer. Edge images derived from wavelet-compressed images are considered as index that can be queried by example. Zernike moment invariants are used as descriptors for the index edge image and the query sketch image. The descriptions are compared for the purpose of database searching. The query images were allowed to undergo translation, rotation, scaling and some deformation. Simulation results gave …
