Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can have a good diagnostic function for important organs and parts of the body. MRI technology has become a common and important disease detection technology. At the same time, medical imaging data is increasing at an explosive rate. Retrieving similar medical images from a huge database is of great significance to doctors’ auxiliary diagnosis and treatment. In this paper, combining the advantages of sparse representation and metric learning, a sparse representation-based discriminative metric learning (SRDML) approach is proposed for medical image retrieval of brain MRI. The SRDML approach uses a sparse representation framework to learn robust feature representation of brain MRI, and uses metric learning to project new features into the metric space with matching discrimination. In such a metric space, the optimal similarity measure is obtained by using the local constraints of atoms and the pairwise constraints of coding coefficients, so that the distance between similar images is less than the given threshold, and the distance between dissimilar images is greater than another given threshold. The experiments are designed and tested on the brain MRI dataset created by Chang. Experimental results show that the SRDML approach can obtain satisfactory retrieval performance and achieve accurate brain MRI image retrieval.

Recently, deep learning to hash has extensively been applied to image retrieval, due to its low storage cost and fast query speed. However, there is a defect of insufficiency and imbalance when existing hashing methods utilize the convolutional neural network (CNN) to extract image semantic features and the extracted features do not include contextual information and lack relevance among features. Furthermore, the process of the relaxation hash code can lead to an inevitable quantization error. In order to solve these problems, this paper proposes deep hash with improved dual attention for image retrieval (DHIDA), which chiefly has the following contents: (1) this paper introduces the improved dual attention mechanism (IDA) based on the ResNet18 pre-trained module to extract the feature information of the image, which consists of the position attention module and the channel attention module; (2) when calculating the spatial attention matrix and channel attention matrix, the average value and maximum value of the column of the feature map matrix are integrated in order to promote the feature representation ability and fully leverage the features of each position; and (3) to reduce quantization error, this study designs a new piecewise function to directly guide the discrete binary code. Experiments on CIFAR-10, NUS-WIDE and ImageNet-100 show that the DHIDA algorithm achieves better performance.

Recent years, the image sparse representation has been the popular method in the study of image representation, which has put forward a new idea in the image denoising. Its basic principle is that the original image has the sparse representation under the proper over-complete dictionary. Filter out the noise, we should find out the sparse representation of the image through the design of the dictionary. Its mechanism is that one hand the useful information of the image would be effectively expressed because of the sparse decomposition algorithm based on the redundant dictionary. The other the noise would not be expressed through the dictionary atoms. We do the image denoising according to the image sparse representation. Because of the superiority of the adaptive dictionary algorithm in the image, in this paper, we discuss the over-complete dictionary training algorithm. And we prove the effectiveness through the MATLAB.

Due to the variations of viewpoint, pose, and illumination, a given individual may appear considerably different across different camera views. Tracking individuals across camera networks with no overlapping fields is still a challenging problem. Previous works mainly focus on feature representation and metric learning individually which tend to have a suboptimal solution. To address this issue, in this work, we propose a novel framework to do the feature representation learning and metric learning jointly. Different from previous works, we represent the pairs of pedestrian images as new resized input and use linear Support Vector Machine to replace softmax activation function for similarity learning. Particularly, dropout and data augmentation techniques are also employed in this model to prevent the network from overfitting. Extensive experiments on two publically available datasets VIPeR and CUHK01 demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed approach.
