scholarly journals Framework for Color and Texture Feature Fusion in Content Based Image Retrieval using Block Truncation Coding with Color Spaces

With tremendous growth in social media and digital technologies, generation, storing and transfer of huge amount of information over the internet is on the rise. Images or visual mode of communication have been prevailing and widely accepted as a mode of communication since ages. And with the growth of internet, the rate at which images are generated is growing exponentially. But the methods used to retrieve images are still very slow and inefficient, compared to the rate of increase in image databases. To cope up with this explosive increase in images, this information age has seen huge research advancement in Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR). CBIR systems provide a way of utilizing the 3 major ways in which content is portrayed in images, those are shape, texture and color. In CBIR system, features are extracted from query image and similarity is found with features stored in database for retrieval. This provides an objective way of image retrieval, which is more efficient compared to subjective human annotation. Application specific CBIR systems have been developed and perform really well, but Generic CBIR systems are still under developed. Block Truncation Coding (BTC) has been chosen as a feature extractor. BTC applied directly on input image provides color content-based features of image and BTC applied after applying LBP on the image provide texture content-based features of image. Previous work consists of either color, shape or texture, but usage of more than one descriptor is still in research and might give better performance. The paper presents framework for color and texture feature fusion in content-based image retrieval using block truncation coding with color spaces. Experimentation is carried out on Wang Dataset of 1000 images consisting of 10 classes. Each class has 100 images in it. Obtained results have shown performance improvement using fusion of BTC extracted color features and texture features extracted with BTC applied on Local Binary Patterns (LBP). Conversion of color space from RGB to LUV is done using Kekre's LUV.

Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) system generally retrieves images based on the matching of the query image from all the images of the database. This exhaustive matching and searching slow down the image retrieval process. In this paper, a fast and effective CBIR system is proposed which uses supervised learning-based image management and retrieval techniques. It utilizes machine learning approaches as a prior step for speeding up image retrieval in the large database. For the implementation of this, first, we extract statistical moments and the orthogonal-combination of local binary patterns (OC-LBP)-based computationally light weighted color and texture features. Further, using some ground truth annotation of images, we have trained the multi-class support vector machine (SVM) classifier. This classifier works as a manager and categorizes the remaining images into different libraries. However, at the query time, the same features are extracted and fed to the SVM classifier. SVM detects the class of query and searching is narrowed down to the corresponding library. This supervised model with weighted Euclidean Distance (ED) filters out maximum irrelevant images and speeds up the searching time. This work is evaluated and compared with the conventional model of the CBIR system on two benchmark databases, and it is found that the proposed work is significantly encouraging in terms of retrieval accuracy and response time for the same set of used features.

Content based image retrieval (CBIR), is an application of real-world computer vision domain where from a query image, similar images are searched from the database. The research presented in this paper aims to find out best features and classification model for optimum results for CBIR system.Five different set of feature combinations in two different color domains (i.e., RGB & HSV) are compared and evaluated using Neural Network Classifier, where best results obtained are 88.2% in terms of classifier accuracy. Color moments feature used comprises of: Mean, Standard Deviation,Kurtosis and Skewness. Histogram features is calculated via 10 probability bins. Wang-1k dataset is used to evaluate the CBIR system performance for image retrieval.Research concludes that integrated multi-level 3D color-texture feature yields most accurate results and also performs better in comparison to individually computed color and texture features.


Content based image retrieval (CBIR) models become popular for retrieving images connected to the query image (QI) from massive dataset. Feature extraction process in CBIR plays a vital role as it affects the system’s performance. This paper is focused on the design of deep learning (DL) model for feature extraction based CBIR model. The presented model utilizes a ResNet50 with co-occurrence matrix (RCM) model for CBIR. Here, the ResNet50 model is applied for feature extraction of the QI. Then, the extracted features are placed in the feature repository as a feature vector. The RCM model computes the feature vector for every input image and compares it with the features present in the repository. Then, the images with maximum resemblance will be retrieved from the dataset. In addition, the resemblance between the feature vectors is determined by the use of co-occurrence matrix subtraction process. Besides, structural similarity (SSIM) measure is applied for the validation of the similarity among the images. A comprehensive results analysis takes place by the use of Corel 10K dataset. The experimental outcome indicated the superiority of the RCM model with respect to precision, recall and SSIM.

The rapid advancement and exponential evolution in the multimedia applications raised the attentional research on content-based image retrieval (CBIR). The technique has a significant role for searching and finding similar images to the query image through extracting the visual features. In this paper, an approach of two layers of search has been developed which is known as two-layer based CBIR. The first layer is concerned with comparing the query image to all images in the dataset depending on extracting the local feature using bag of features (BoF) mechanism which leads to retrieve certain most similar images to the query image. In other words, first step aims to eliminate the most dissimilar images to the query image to reduce the range of search in the dataset of images. In the second layer, the query image is compared to the images obtained in the first layer based on extracting the (texture and color)-based features. The Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Local Binary Pattern (LBP) were used as texture features. However, for the color features, three different color spaces were used, namely RGB, HSV, and YCbCr. The color spaces are utilized by calculating the mean and entropy for each channel separately. Corel-1K was used for evaluating the proposed approach. The experimental results prove the superior performance of the proposed concept of two-layer over the current state-of-the-art techniques in terms of precision rate in which achieved 82.15% and 77.27% for the top-10 and top-20, respectively.


In this paper, we proposed a fusion feature extraction method for content based image retrieval. The feature is extracted by focusing on the texture and shape features of the visual image by using the Local Binary Pattern (LBP – texture feature) and Edge Histogram Descriptor (EHD – shape feature). The SVD is used for decreasing the number of the feature vector of images. The Kd-tree is used for reducing the retrieval time. The input to this system is a query image and Database (the reference images) and the output is the top n most similar images for the query image. The proposed system is evaluated by using (precision and recall) to measure the retrieval effectiveness. The values of the recall are between [43% –93%] and the average recall is 64.3%. The values of precision are between [30%-100%] and the average is 72.86% for the entire system and for both databases

Generally, the database is a gathering of data that is arranged for simple storage, retrieval and modernize. This data comprises of numerous structures like text, table, and image, outline and chart and so on. Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) is valuable for calculating the huge amount of image databases and records and for distinguishes retrieving similar images. Rather than text-based searching, CBIR effectively recovers images that are similar like query image. CBIR assumes a significant role in various areas including restorative finding, industry estimation, geographical information satellite frameworks (GIS frameworks), and biometrics; online searching and authentic research, etc. Here different medical database images are considered to the CBIR procedure is done by the proposed strategy. The proposed method considers the input features are shape, texture feature, wavelet feature, and SIFT feature. To retrieve the input image based on the features, the suggested method utilizes artificial neural network (ANN) structure. Back-propagation technique, which is an organizational structure for learning is utilized for training the neural network framework. Trial demonstrates that the proposed work improves the results of the retrieval system. From the outcomes minimizes the image retrieval time and maximum Precision 87.3% in distance based ANN process.

There has been a profound expansion of digital data both in terms of quality and heterogeneity. Trivial searching techniques of images by using metadata, keywords or tags are not sufficient. Efficient Content-based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is certainly the only solution to this problem. Difference between colors of two images can be an important metric to measure their similarity or dissimilarity. Content-based Image Retrieval is all about generating signatures of images in database and comparing the signature of the query image with these stored signatures. Color histogram can be used as signature of an image and used to compare two images based on certain distance metric.In this study, COREL Database is used for an exhaustive study of various distance metrics on different color spaces. Euclidean distance, Manhattan distance, Histogram Intersection and Vector Cosine Angle distances are used to compare histograms in both RGB and HSV color spaces. So, a total of 8 distance metrics for comparison of images for the sake of CBIR are discussed in this work.

Many works have been done to find out whether given image is in the database using Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) techniques. However if the query image is unshaped or noise filled then retrieval of that image in the database is difficult .We propose an approach by which for any shape of input image the databases is searched and the most relevant image is retrieved. Results provides better accuracy than existing one and time elapsed also reduced because of making comparison after compression of both partial image and images from the database. The attainment of the proposed system is assessed using LFW and WANG image sets consisting of 2000 and 9990 images, respectively, and it measured with familiar methods with regard to precision and recall which demonstrates the advantages of the proposed approach.

In diverse computer applications, the analysis of image content plays a key role. This image content might be either textual (like text appearing in the images) or visual (like shape, color, texture). These two image contents consist of image’s basic features and therefore turn out to be as the major advantage for any of the implementation. Many of the art models are based on the visual search or annotated text for Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) models. There is more demand toward multitasking, a new method needs to be introduced with the combination of both textual and visual features. This paper plans to develop the intelligent CBIR system for the collection of different benchmark texture datasets. Here, a new descriptor named Information Oriented Angle-based Local Tri-directional Weber Patterns (IOA-LTriWPs) is adopted. The pattern is operated not only based on tri-direction and eight neighborhood pixels but also based on four angles [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text]. Once the patterns concerning tri-direction, eight neighborhood pixels, and four angles are taken, the best patterns are selected based on maximum mutual information. Moreover, the histogram computation of the patterns provides the final feature vector, from which the new weighted feature extraction is performed. As a new contribution, the novel weight function is optimized by the Improved MVO on random basis (IMVO-RB), in such a way that the precision and recall of the retrieved image is high. Further, the proposed model has used the logarithmic similarity called Mean Square Logarithmic Error (MSLE) between the features of the query image and trained images for retrieving the concerned images. The analyses on diverse texture image datasets have validated the accuracy and efficiency of the developed pattern over existing.
