An Effective Contour Detection based Image Retrieval using Multi-Fusion Method and Neural Network

Day by day, rapidly increasing the number of images on digital platforms and digital image databases has increased. Generally, the user requires image retrieval and it is a challenging task to search effectively from the enormous database. Mainly content-based image retrieval (CBIR) algorithm considered the visual image feature such as color, texture, shape, etc. The non-visual features also play a significant role in image retrieval, mainly in the security concern and selection of image features is an essential issue in CBIR. Performance is one of the challenging tasks in image retrieval, according to current CBIR studies. To overcome this gap, the new method used for CBIR using histogram of gradient (HOG), dominant color descriptor (DCD) & hue moment (HM) features. This work uses color features and shapes texture in-depth for CBIR. HOG is used to extract texture features. DCD on RGB and HSV are used to improve efficiency and computation. A neural network (NN) is used to extract the image features, which improves the computation using the Corel dataset. The experimental results evaluated on various standard benchmarks Corel-1k, Corel-5k datasets, and outcomes of the proposed work illustrate that the proposed CBIR is efficient for other state-of-the-art image retrieval methods. Intensive analysis of the proposed work proved that the proposed work has better precision, recall, accuracy

Leaf Disease Detection of Agricultural plant Using Image Processing

The detection of plant leaf is an very important factor to prevent serious outbreak. Automatic detection of plant disease is essential research topic. Most plant diseases are caused by fungi, bacteria, and viruses. Fungi are identified primarily from their morphology, with emphasis placed on their reproductive structures. Bacteria are considered more primitive than fungi and generally have simpler life cycles. With few exceptions, bacteria exist as single cells and increase in numbers by dividing into two cells during a process called binary fission Viruses are extremely tiny particles consisting of protein and genetic material with no associated protein. The term disease is usually used only for the destruction of live plants. The developed processing scheme consists of four main steps, first a color transformation structure for the input RGB image is created, this RGB is converted to HSI because RGB is for color generation and his for color descriptor. Then green pixels are masked and removed using specific threshold value, then the image is segmented and the useful segments are extracted, finally the texture statistics is computed. from SGDM matrices. Finally the presence of diseases on the plant leaf is evaluated.

An Anatomy of a Hybrid Color Descriptor with a Neural Network Model to Enhance the Retrieval Accuracy of an Image Retrieval System

Background: In order to retrieve a particular image from vast repository of images, an efficient system is required and such an eminent system is well-known by the name Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) system. Color is indeed an important attribute of an image and the proposed system consist of a hybrid color descriptor which is used for color feature extraction. Deep learning, has gained a prominent importance in the current era. So, the performance of this fusion based color descriptor is also analyzed in the presence of Deep learning classifiers. Method: This paper describes a comparative experimental analysis on various color descriptors and the best two are chosen to form an efficient color based hybrid system denoted as combined color moment-color autocorrelogram (Co-CMCAC). Then, to increase the retrieval accuracy of the hybrid system, a Cascade forward back propagation neural network (CFBPNN) is used. The classification accuracy obtained by using CFBPNN is also compared to Patternnet neural network. Results: The results of the hybrid color descriptor depict that the proposed system has superior results of the order of 95.4%, 88.2%, 84.4% and 96.05% on Corel-1K, Corel-5K, Corel-10K and Oxford flower benchmark datasets respectively as compared to many state-of-the-art related techniques. Conclusion: This paper depict an experimental and analytical analysis on different color feature descriptors namely, Color moment (CM), Color auto-correlogram (CAC), Color histogram (CH), Color coherence vector (CCV) and Dominant color descriptor (DCD). The proposed hybrid color descriptor (Co-CMCAC) is utilized for the withdrawal of color features with Cascade forward back propagation neural network (CFBPNN) is used as a classifier on four benchmark datasets namely Corel-1K, Corel-5K and Corel-10K and Oxford flower.
