CBIR is an effective tool to search and extract image contents in a large remote sensing image database queried by an operator or end user. However, as imaging principles are different by sensors, their visual representation thus varies among image modality type. Considering images of various modalities archived in the database, image modality difference has to be tackled for the successful CBIR implementation. However, this topic has been seldom dealt with and thus still poses a practical challenge. This study suggests a cross modality CBIR (termed as the CM-CBIR) method that transforms given query feature vector by a supervised procedure in order to link between modalities. This procedure leverages the skill of analyst in training steps after which the transformed query vector is created for the use of searching in target images with different modalities. Current initial results show the potential of the proposed CM-CBIR method by delivering the image content of interest from different modality images. Despite its retrieval capability is outperformed by that of same modality CBIR (abbreviated as the SM-CBIR), the lack of retrieval performance can be compensated by employing the user's relevancy feedback, a conventional technique for retrieval enhancement.

딥 러닝의 학습을 위해서 일반적으로 많은 양의 데이터가 필요하다. 그러나 많은 양의 데이터 세트를 만드는 것은 쉽지 않기 때문에, 회전, 반전 (flipping), 필터링 (filtering) 등의 간단한 데이터 확장 (data augmentation) 기법을 통해 작은 데이터 세트를 좀 더 큰 데이터 세트로 만드는 여러 시도들이 있었다. 그러나 이러한 기법들은 이미 보유하고 있는 데이터 세트만을 이용하기 때문에 확장성에 제약을 갖는다. 이런 문제를 해결하기 위해 본고에서는 보유하고 있는 영상 데이터를 이용하여 새로운 영상 데이터를 획득하는 기술을 제안한다. 이는 기존 데이터 세트의 영상 데이터를 CBIR(Contents based image retrieval)의 쿼리로 이용하여 유사 영상들을 검색하여 획득하는 방식으로 이루어진다. 최종적으로 CBIR을 이용해 확장한 데이터를 딥 러닝으로 학습시켜 확장 전후의 성능을 비교하였다.

Amid rapidly increasing imagery inputs and their volume in a remote sensing imagery database, Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is an effective tool to search for an image feature or image content of interest a user wants to retrieve. It seeks to capture salient features from a 'query' image, and then to locate other instances of image region having similar features elsewhere in the image database. For a CBIR approach that uses texture as a primary feature primitive, designing a texture descriptor to better represent image contents is a key to improve CBIR results. For this purpose, an extended feature vector combining the Gabor filter and co-occurrence histogram method is suggested and evaluated for quantitywise and qualitywise retrieval performance criterion. For the better CBIR performance, assessing similarity between high dimensional feature vectors is also a challenging issue. Therefore a number of distance metrics (i.e. L1 and L2 norm) is tried to measure closeness between two feature vectors, and its impact on retrieval result is analyzed. In this paper, experimental results are presented with several CBIR samples. The current results show that 1) the overall retrieval quantity and quality is improved by combining two types of feature vectors, 2) some feature is better retrieved by a specific feature vector, and 3) retrieval result quality (i.e. ranking of retrieved image tiles) is sensitive to an adopted similarity metric when the extended feature vector is employed.

휴대전화의 배경화면을 위한 캐릭터 이미지의 수요가 모바일 컨텐츠 시장에서 빠르게 성장함에도 불구하고 지능형 검색 도구의 부재로 인해 사용자들은 원하는 이미지를 검색하는 데 많은 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 이미지 검색을 위해 가장 널리 사용되는 내용기반 이미지 검색(Content-Based Image Retrieval; CBIR)이 사용될 수 있겠으나 PC-기반 시스템과는 달리 초기 질의 요구를 만족시킬 수 없는 모바일 응용 소프트웨어의 제약 사항의 극복이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 적합성 피드백과정에서 얻어진 선호도 정보를 이용하는 협업필터링(Collaborative Filtering; CF) 기법을 사용하여 내용기반 이미지 검색의 초기 질의로 사용될 수 있는 후보이미지의 리스트를 자동 생성하는 IQS-AutoGen이라고 하는 새로운 방법을 제안한다. IQS-AutoGen은 CBIR로부터 피드백된 이미지들에 대한 적합성 정보를 이용하여 목표 사용자와 선호도가 유사한 이웃(neighbor)을 확인하고 이웃들이 선호하는 이미지들의 리스트를 제공하는 CF 프로세스를 통해 CBIR을 위한 초기 질의 집합(Initial Query Set : IQS)을 자동으로 생성한다. 따라서 모바일 사용자는 IQS에 있는 이미지들 중의 하나를 선택하여 CBIR 세션을 위한 질의 이미지로 사용할 수 있게 된다. PC-기반 프로토타입 시스템을 사용하여 실험한 결과로부터 제안한 방법이 모바일 인터넷 환경에서 CBIR의 초기질의 요구를 성공적으로 만족시킬 뿐만 아니라 현재의 검색 방법보다 우수한 성능을 보여주고 있음을 알 수 있다.

The emotional information processing is to simulate and recognize human sensibility, sensuality or emotion, to realize natural and harmonious human-machine interface. This paper proposes an emotion-based image retrieval method. In this method, user can choose a linguistic query among some emotional adjectives. Then the system shows some corresponding representative images that are pre-evaluated by experts. Again the user can select a representative one among the representative images to initiate traditional content-based image retrieval (CBIR). By this proposed method any CBIR can be easily expanded as emotion-based image retrieval. In CBIR of our system, we use several color and texture visual descriptors recommended by MPEG-7. We also propose a fuzzy similarity measure based on Choquet integral in the CBIR system. For the communication between system and user, a relevance feedback mechanism is used to represent human subjectivity in image retrieval. This can improve the performance of image retrieval, and also satisfy the user's individual preference.

As multimedia database and digital image libraries are enlarged, CBIR(Content Based Image Retrieval) has been getting importance for the efficient search. Generally, CBIR uses primitive features such as color, shape, texture and so on. Among various methods of CBIR, Gabor wavelet has good image retrieval performance with texture features but it has a disadvantage which does not perform well for a rotated image because of its direction oriented filter. In this paper, we propose a new method to solve this problem by modifying Gabor filter for all directions. And then we will compare the searching performance of the proposed method with those of conventional image retrieval methods through experiments with trademarks.

A Content-based Image Retrieval (CBIR) system employs visual features rather than manual annotation of images. The selection of optimal features used in classification of images plays a key role in its performance. Category proliferation problem has a huge impact on performance of systems using Fuzzy Artmap (FAM) classifier. The proposed CBIR system uses a modified version of FAM called Non-Proliferation Fuzzy Artmap (NPFAM). This is developed by introducing significant changes in the learning process and the modified algorithm is evaluated by extensive experiments. Results have proved that NPFAM classifier generates a more compact rule set and performs better than FAM classifier. Accordingly, the CBIR system with NPFAM classifier yields good retrieval.

In this paper, we present a overview of content-based image retrieval (CBIR) systems: its results and its problems. We propose our CBIR system currently based on color and texture. From the CBIR systems. we discuss the way to add semantic values in image retrieval systems. There are 3 ways for adding them: concept definition, machine learning and man-machine interaction. Along with this we introduce our preliminary results and discuss them in the goal of reaching semantic retrieval. Different result representation schemes are presented. At last, we present our work to build a complete annotated image database and our image annotaion program.

This paper presents a novel method for image classification based on a hybrid genetic algorithm (GA) and support vector machine (SVM) approach which can significantly improve the classification performance for content-based image retrieval (CBIR). Though SVM has been widely applied to CBIR, it has some problems such as the kernel parameters setting and feature subset selection of SVM which impact the classification accuracy in the learning process. This study aims at simultaneously optimizing the parameters of SVM and feature subset without degrading the classification accuracy of SVM using GA for CBIR. Using the hybrid GA and SVM model, we can classify more images in the database effectively. Experiments were carried out on a large-size database of images and experiment results show that the classification accuracy of conventional SVM may be improved significantly by using the proposed model. We also found that the proposed model outperformed all the other models such as neural network and typical SVM models.

멀티미디어 분야가 급성장하면서 좀더 효율적으로 멀티미디어 자료의 저장, 처리, 검색을 위한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 특히, 내용기반 시각정보 검색에 있어 지능형 시스템(Intelligent System)을 접목하여 의미적 접근을 시도하는 I-CBIR(Intelligent-Content Based Image Retrieval)에 관한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 또한, 내용기반 이미지검색 시스템에 온톨로지(Ontology)의 이론을 적용하여 이미지에 의미를 부여하여 개념적 검색이 가능하도록 노력하고 있다. 이러한 연구에서 적용된 대형의 온톨로지는 이미지 검색 시스템에 적합하지 않게 너무 방대한 정보를 가지고 있으며, 또한 시대적 변화에 대응하지 못하여 I-CBIR 시스템에서 그 효율성을 제대로 발휘하지 못하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 많은 대형 온톨로지 중에서 WordNet을 선택하여, WordNet의 구축 방법에 기반한 자동차(Car)에 대한 도메인 온톨로지(Domain Ontology)를 구축해보고, 구축된 도메인 온톨로지를 적용함으로써 더 향상된 I-CBIR 시스템이 되도록 하였다.
