Perceived Similarity And Visual Descriptions In Content-Based Image Retrieval, Yuan Zhong, Lei Ye, Wanqing Li, Philip Ogunbona Dec 2012

Perceived Similarity And Visual Descriptions In Content-Based Image Retrieval, Yuan Zhong, Lei Ye, Wanqing Li, Philip Ogunbona

Dr Lei Yi

The use of low-level feature descriptors is pervasive in content-based image retrieval tasks and the answer to the question of how well these features describe users’ intention is inconclusive. In this paper we devise experiments to gauge the degree of alignment between the description of target images by humans and that implicitly provided by low-level image feature descriptors. Data was collected on how humans perceive similarity in images. Using images judged by humans to be similar, as ground truth, the performance of some MPEG-7 visual feature descriptors were evaluated. It is found that various descriptors play different roles in different …

Application Of Semistructured Data Model To The Implementation Of Semantic Content-Based Video Retrieval System, Lilac A. E. Al-Safadi, Janusz R. Getta Nov 2012

Application Of Semistructured Data Model To The Implementation Of Semantic Content-Based Video Retrieval System, Lilac A. E. Al-Safadi, Janusz R. Getta

Dr Janusz Getta

Semantic indexing of a video document is a process that performs the identification of elementary and complex semantic units in the indexed document in order to create a semantic index defined as a mapping of semantic units into the sequences of video frames. Semantic content-based video retrieval system is a software system that uses a semantic index built over a collection of video documents to retrieve the sequences of video frames that satisfy the given conditions. This work introduces a new multilevel view of data for the semantic content-based video retrieval systems. At the topmost level, we define an abstract …

An Audio Representation For Content Based Retrieval, Kathy Melih, Ruben Gonzalez, Philip Ogunbona Sep 2012

An Audio Representation For Content Based Retrieval, Kathy Melih, Ruben Gonzalez, Philip Ogunbona

Professor Philip Ogunbona

Despite: the increasing interest in multimedia data retrieval audio data has received little attention. This is due, not to a lack of interest but rather to unique difficulties posed by the medium. In particular existing unstructured audio representations do not easily lend themselves to content based retrieval and especially browsing. This paper aims to address hs oversight by developing an audio representation that provides direct support for browsing and content based retrieval. This support is the result of a structured representation based on psychoacoustic ptincip1.e~in which salient attributes of audio are directly accessible. In addition, the representation is compact thus …


Content-Based Retrieval From Compressed-Image Databases, Philip Ogunbona, P Sangassapaviriya Sep 2012

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

Professor Philip Ogunbona

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 …


Colour Matching For Imaging Retrieval, Babu M. Mehtre, Mohan S. Kankanhalli, Arcot Desai Narasimhalu, Guo Chang Man Jan 2011

Color is an important attribute for image matching and retrieval. We present two new color matching methods, the Reference Color Table Method and a Distance Method, for image retrieval. Both these methods and an existing method Histogram Intersection were implemented and tested for a database size of 170 color images. To compare the efficacy of each method, a figure of merit, called Efficiency of Retrieval, is defined. The results show that both the new methods perform better than the existing method, and that the Reference Color Table Method gives the best results.
