In order to improve the retrieval rate of contourlet transform retrieval system, a semi-subsampled contourlet transform based texture image retrieval system was proposed. In the system, the contourlet transform was constructed by non-subsampled Laplacian pyramid cascaded by critical subsampled directional filter banks, sub-bands standard deviation, absolute mean energy and kurtosis in semi-subsampled contourlet domain are cascaded to form feature vectors, and the similarity metric is Canberra distance. Experimental results on 109 brodatz texture images show that using the three cascaded features can lead to a higher retrieval rate than the combination of standard deviation and absolute mean which is most commonly used today under same dimension of feature vectors. Semi-subsampled contourlet transform based image retrieval system is superior to those of the original contourlet transform, non-subsampled contourlet system under the same system structure with same length of feature vectors, retrieval time and memory needed, decomposition structure parameters can also make significant effects on retrieval rates, especially scale number.

Contourlet transform is better in direction information representation than wavelet transform which has been studied in retrieval systems and has been shown that it is superior to wavelet ones at retrieval rate. In order to improve the retrieval rate further, an anti-aliasing contourlet-S transform based texture image retrieval system was proposed. In this system, the contourlet transform was constructed by anti-aliasing non-subsampled Laplacian pyramid cascaded by critical sub-sampled directional filter banks, sub-bands energy and standard deviations in contourlet domain are cascaded to form feature vectors, and the similarity metric used here is Canberra distance. Experimental results show that contourlet-S transform based image retrieval system is superior to those of the original contourlet transform, and non-subsampled contourlet system under the same system structure with almost same dimension of feature vectors, retrieval time and memory needed; and contourlet decomposition structure parameters can make significant effects on retrieval rates, especially scale number. To improve the retrieval rate of this system, kurtosis in each sub-band coefficients can be incorporated in features at the cost of some higher dimension of feature vectors.

To improve the retrieval rate of contourlet transform texture retrieval system, a contourlet-2.3 transform based retrieval system was proposed. Six different features, including mean, standard deviation, absolute mean energy, L2 energy, skewness and kurtosis contributions to retrieval rates were examined. Based on the single feature ability in retrieval system, a contourlet-2.3 retrieval system was proposed. The feature vectors were constructed by cascading the standard deviation, absolute mean energy and kurtosis of each sub-band contourlet coefficients and the similarity measure used here is Canberra distance. Experimental results on 109 brodatz texture images show that the new retrieval algorithm can lead to a higher retrieval rate than several contourlet transform retrieval systems including the original contourlet transform, non-subsampled contourlet transform under the same structure.

To improve the retrieval rate of contourlet transform retrieval system and reduce the redundancy of contourlet which cost two much time in building feature vector database, a new wavelet-contourlet transform retrieval system was proposed. Six different features, including mean, standard deviation, absolute mean energy, L2 energy, skewness and kurotis contributions to retrieval rates were examined. Based on the single feature ability in retrieval system, a new contourlet retrieval system was proposed. The feature vectors were constructed by cascading the absolute mean energy and kurtosis of each sub-band contourlet coefficients and the similarity measure used here is Canberra distance. Experimental results on 109 brodatz texture images show that using the features cascaded by absolute mean and kurtosis can lead to a higher retrieval rate than several contourlet transform retrieval systems which utilize the combination feature of standard deviation and absolute mean energy most commonly used today under same dimension of feature vectors.

Texture Retrieval

Contourlet transform is superior to wavelet transform in representing texture information and sparser in describing geometric structures in digital images, but lack of robust character of shift invariance. Non-subsampled contourlet transform (NSCT) alleviates this shortcoming hence more suitable for texture and has been studied for image de-noising, enhancement, and retrieval situations. Focus on improving the retrieval rates of existing contourlet transforms retrieval systems, a new texture retrieval algorithm was proposed. In the algorithm, texture information was represented by four statistical estimators, namely, L2-energy, kurtosis, standard deviation and L1-energy of each sub-band coefficients in NSCT domain. Experimental results show that the new algorithm can make a higher retrieval rate than the combination of standard deviation and energy which is most commonly used today.

This paper proposes a trademark retrieval algorithm combining the image global features and local features. Firstly, extract pseudo Zernike moments of the retrieved image and sort them according to similarity. Candidate images are formed. Then, the SIFT features are used for matching the query image accurately with candidate images. Experimental results show that this method not only keeps high precision- recall of SIFT features and is superior than the method based on the single pseudo Zernike moments feature, but also improves effective retrieval speed compared to the single SIFT features. This method can be well applied to the trademark image retrieval system.
