Conventional approaches to image retrieval are based on the assumption that relevant images are physically near the query image in some feature space. However, semantically related images are often scattered across several visual clusters. This leads to adapting multiple queries to represent a query in the feature space. Therefore, it is necessary to handle disjunctive queries in the feature space. In this paper, a new content-based image retrieval method with relevance feedback technique using RBF neural network learning is proposed. The method transfers the process of relevance feedback into a learning problem of RBF neural network. RBFNN can describe the distribution of positive feedback sample images in feature space with a set of neighboring clusters produced through constructing neural network, for accurately reflecting their semantic relevance. The performance of the method using RBFNN is evaluated on a database of 10,000 images. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Content-based image retrieval has become an essential technique in multimedia data management. However, due to the difficulties and complications involved in the various image processing tasks, a robust semantic representation of image content is still very difficult (if not impossible) to achieve. In this paper, we propose a novel content-based image retrieval approach with relevance feedback using adaptive processing of tree-structure image representation. In our approach, each image is first represented with a quad-tree, which is segmentation free. Then a neural network model with the Back-Propagation Through Structure (BPTS) learning algorithm is employed to learn the tree-structure representation of the image content. This approach that integrates image representation and similarity measure in a single framework is applied to the relevance feedback of the content-based image retrieval. In our approach, an initial ranking of the database images is first carried out based on the similarity between the query image and each of the database images according to global features. The user is then asked to categorize the top retrieved images into similar and dissimilar groups. Finally, the BPTS neural network model is used to learn the user's intention for a better retrieval result. This process continues until satisfactory retrieval results are achieved. In the refining process, a fine similarity grading scheme can also be adopted to improve the retrieval performance. Simulations on texture images and scenery pictures have demonstrated promising results which compare favorably with the other relevance feedback methods tested.

This paper introduces a model for content based image retrieval. The proposed model extracts image color, texture and shape as feature vectors; and then the image feature space is divided into a group of search zones; during the image searching phase, the fractional order distance is utilized to evaluate the similarity between images. As the query image vector only needs to compare with library image vectors located in the same search zone, the time cost is largely reduced. Further more the fractional order distance is utilized to improve the vector matching accuracy. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed model provides more accurate retrieval results with less time cost compared with other methods.

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.

Retrieving images from large databases becomes a difficult task. Content based image retrieval (CBIR) deals with retrieval of images based on their similarities in content (features) between the query image and the target image. But the similarities do not vary equally in all directions of feature space. Further the CBIR efforts have relatively ignored the two distinct characteristics of the CBIR systems: 1) The gap between high level concepts and low level features; 2) Subjectivity of human perception of visual content. Hence an interactive technique called the relevance feedback technique was used. These techniques used user’s feedback about the retrieved images to reformulate the query which retrieves more relevant images during next iterations. But those relevance feedback techniques are called hard relevance feedback techniques as they use only two level user annotation. It was very difficult for the user to give feedback for the retrieved images whether they are relevant to the query image or not. To better capture user’s intention soft relevance feedback technique is proposed. This technique uses multilevel user annotation. But it makes use of only single user feedback. Hence Soft association rule mining technique is also proposed to infer image relevance from the collective feedback. Feedbacks from multiple users are used to retrieve more relevant images improving the performance of the system. Here soft relevance feedback and association rule mining techniques are combined. During first iteration prior association rules about the given query image are retrieved to find out the relevant images and during next iteration the feedbacks are inserted into the database and relevance feedback techniques are activated to retrieve more relevant images. The number of association rules is kept minimum based on redundancy detection.


The applications of a content-based image retrieval system in fields such as multimedia, security, medicine, and entertainment, have been implemented on a huge real-time database by using a convolutional neural network architecture. In general, thus far, content-based image retrieval systems have been implemented with machine learning algorithms. A machine learning algorithm is applicable to a limited database because of the few feature extraction hidden layers between the input and the output layers. The proposed convolutional neural network architecture was successfully implemented using 128 convolutional layers, pooling layers, rectifier linear unit (ReLu), and fully connected layers. A convolutional neural network architecture yields better results of its ability to extract features from an image. The Euclidean distance metric is used for calculating the similarity between the query image and the database images. It is implemented using the COREL database. The proposed system is successfully evaluated using precision, recall, and F-score. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated using the precision and recall.

Abstract Given the great success of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for image representation and classification tasks, we argue that Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) systems could also leverage on CNN capabilities, mainly when Relevance Feedback (RF) mechanisms are employed. On the one hand, to improve the performances of CBIRs, that are strictly related to the effectiveness of the descriptors used to represent an image, as they aim at providing the user with images similar to an initial query image. On the other hand, to reduce the semantic gap between the similarity perceived by the user and the similarity computed by the machine, by exploiting an RF mechanism where the user labels the returned images as being relevant or not concerning her interests. Consequently, in this work, we propose a CBIR system based on transfer learning from a CNN trained on a vast image database, thus exploiting the generic image representation that it has already learned. Then, the pre-trained CNN is also fine-tuned exploiting the RF supplied by the user to reduce the semantic gap. In particular, after the user’s feedback, we propose to tune and then re-train the CNN according to the labelled set of relevant and non-relevant images. Then, we suggest different strategies to exploit the updated CNN for returning a novel set of images that are expected to be relevant to the user’s needs. Experimental results on different data sets show the effectiveness of the proposed mechanisms in improving the representation power of the CNN with respect to the user concept of image similarity. Moreover, the pros and cons of the different approaches can be clearly pointed out, thus providing clear guidelines for the implementation in production environments.

Collections of bronze inscription images are increasing rapidly. To use these images efficiently, we proposed an effective content-based image retrieval framework using deep learning. Specifically, we extract discriminative local features for image retrieval using the activations of the convolutional neural network and binarize the extracted features for improving the efficiency of image retrieval, firstly. Then, we use the cosine metric and Euclidean metric to calculate the similarity between the query image and dataset images. The result shows that the proposed framework has an impressive accuracy.


The digital image data is quick expanding in capacity and heterogeneity. The customary information retrieval approaches are cannot fulfill the client's need, so there isneed to present a proficient framework for Content Based Image Retrieval(CBIR). The CBIR is an appealing wellspring of precise and quick retrieval. CBIR goes for discovering imagedatabases for explicit images that are like a given query image dependent on its features.In this paper the methodology of content based image retrieval are examined, investigated and thought about. Here, the different image substance, for example, colour, texture and shape features are mined by utilizing differentfeature extraction procedures, and furthermore extraordinary distance measures, Relevance Feedback (RF) and indexing methods are used to improve the execution of the CBIR system.The existing exploration strategies are talked about with their benefits and negative marks, so the further research works can be focused more.
