Content-Based Image Retrieval System Using Sketches

ABSTRACT:
A perception-based approach to content-based image representation and retrieval is proposed in this paper. We consider textured images and propose to model their textural content by a set of features having a perceptual meaning and their application to contentbased image retrieval. We present a new method to estimate a set of perceptual textural features, namely coarseness, directionality, contrast, and busyness. The proposed computational measures can be based upon two representations: the original images representation and the autocorrelation function (associated with original images) representation. The set of computational measures proposed is applied to content-based image retrieval on a large image data set, the well-known Brodatz database. Experimental results and benchmarking show interesting performance of our approach. First, the correspondence of the proposed computational measures to human judgments is shown using a psychometric method based upon the Spearman rank-correlation coefficient. Second, the application of the proposed computational measures in texture retrieval shows interesting results, especially when using results fusion returned by each of the two representations. Comparison is also given with related works and show excellent performance of our approach compared to related approaches on both sides: correspondence of the proposed computational measures with human judgments as well as the retrieval effectiveness.

Existing System:
In earlier days, image retrieving from large image database can be done by following ways. We will discuss briefly about the image retrieving of various steps Automatic Image Annotation and Retrieval using Cross Media Relevance Models Concept Based Query Expansion

Proposed System: Relevance feedback is an interactive process that starts with normal CBIR. The user input a query, and then the system extracts the image feature and measure the distance with images in the database. An initial retrieval list is then generated. User can choose the relevant image to further refine the query, and this process can be iterated many times until the user find the desired images.

ALGORITHM USED: The k-means algorithm: Algorithm: k-means. The k-means algorithm for partitioning based on the mean value of the objects in the cluster. Input: The number of clusters k and a database containing n objects. Output: A set of k clusters that minimizes the squared-error criterion. Method: (1) arbitrarily choose k objects as the initial cluster centers: (2) repeat (3) (re)assign each object to the cluster to which the object is the most similar, based on the mean value of the objects in the cluster; (4) Update the cluster means, i.e., calculate the mean value of the objects for each cluster; (5) Until no change.
