Basic group of visual techniques such as color, shape, texture are used in Content Based Image
Retrievals (CBIR) to retrieve query image or sub region of image to find similar images in
image database. To improve query result, relevance feedback is used many times in CBIR to
help user to express their preference and improve query results. In this paper, a new approach
for image retrieval is proposed which is based on the features such as Color Histogram, Eigen
Values and Match Point. Images from various types of database are first identified by using
edge detection techniques .Once the image is identified, then the image is searched in the
particular database, then all related images are displayed. This will save the retrieval time.
Further to retrieve the precise query image, any of the three techniques are used and
comparison is done w.r.t. average retrieval time. Eigen value technique found to be the best as
compared with other two techniques.

APPLYING R-SPATIOGRAM IN OBJECT TRACKING FOR OCCLUSION HANDLINGsipij
Object tracking is one of the most important problems in computer vision. The aim of video tracking is to extract the trajectories of a target or object of interest, i.e. accurately locate a moving target in a video sequence and discriminate target from non-targets in the feature space of the sequence. So, feature descriptors can have significant effects on such discrimination. In this paper, we use the basic idea of many trackers which consists of three main components of the reference model, i.e., object modeling, object detection and localization, and model updating. However, there are major improvements in our system. Our forth component, occlusion handling, utilizes the r-spatiogram to detect the best target candidate. While spatiogram contains some moments upon the coordinates of the pixels, r-spatiogram computes region-based compactness on the distribution of the given feature in the image that captures richer features to represent the objects. The proposed research develops an efficient and robust way to keep tracking the object throughout video sequences in the presence of significant appearance variations and severe occlusions. The proposed method is evaluated on the Princeton RGBD tracking dataset considering sequences with different challenges and the obtained results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The object image annotation problem is basically a classification problem and there are many different modeling approaches for the solution. These approaches can be classified into two main categories such as generative and discriminative. An ideal classifier should combine these two complementary approaches. In this paper, we present a method achieving this combination by using the discriminative power of the neural networks and the generative nature of Bayesian networks. The evaluation of the proposed method on three typical image’s database has shown some success in automatic image annotation.
WEB IMAGE RETRIEVAL USING CLUSTERING APPROACHEScscpconf
Image retrieval system is an active area to propose a new approach to retrieve images from the

divisive based and partitioned based clustering approaches. The HSV color component and Haar wavelet transform is used to extract image features. These features are taken to segment an image to obtain objects. For segmenting an image, we used modified k-means clustering algorithm to group similar pixel together into K groups with cluster centers. To modify Kmeans, we proposed a divisive based clustering algorithm to determine the number of cluster and get back with number of cluster to k-means to obtain significant object groups. In addition, we also discussed the similarity distance measure using threshold value and object uniqueness to quantify the results.

Power transmission line inspection using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) is taking off as an
exciting solution due to advances in sensors and flight technology. Extracting power-lines from
aerial images, taken from the UAV, having complex natural surroundings is a critical task in the
above problem. In this paper we propose an approach for suppressing natural surrounding that
leads to power line detection. The results of applying our method on real-life video frames taken
from a UAV demonstrate that our approach is very effective. We believe that our approach can
be easily used for line detection in any other real outdoor video as well.

A Noncausal Linear Prediction Based Switching Median Filter for the Removal o...IDES Editor
In this paper, we propose a switching based median
filter for the removal of impulse noise, namely, the salt and
pepper noise in gray scale images. The filter is based on the
concept of substitution of noisy pixels prior to estimation. It
effectively suppresses the impulse noise in two stages. First,
the noisy pixels are detected by using the signal dependent
rank-ordered mean (SD-ROM) filter. In the second stage, the
noisy pixels are first substituted by the first order 2D
noncausal linear prediction technique and subsequently
replaced by the median value. Extensive simulations are
carried out to validate the proposed method. Experimental
results show improvements both visually and quantitatively
compared to other switching based median filters for the
removal of salt-and-pepper noise at different densities.
Single User Eigenvalue Based Detection For Spectrum Sensing In Cognitive Rad...IJMER
Scarcity of spectrum is the issue that wireless communication technology has to deal with.
Primary user is the licensed user of the spectrum. When primary user is idle or not using the spectrum
secondary user can utilize the spectrum. This sharing of spectrum can be enabled by cognitive radio
(CR) technology. The heart of enabling this technology is spectrum sensing. Spectrum sensing involves
detection of primary signal at very low SNR (in the range of -20 dB), under noise and interference
uncertainty. This requirement makes spectrum sensing, a hard nut to crack. Another major issue in
detection is hidden node problem wherein the node in vicinity of primary transmitter also indicates
absence of the primary signal since it is hidden behind the large object. There are various algorithms
for detection viz. energy detection, matched filter detection, feature detection (cyclostationary
detection, eigen-value based detection etc.) These algorithms have limitations of complexity,
requirement of signal knowledge and detection performance. In this paper the performance of
eigenvalue based detection (EBD) method in presence of noise and low SNR of the received signal has
been evaluated for a single user.
Visible watermarking within the region of non interest of medical images base...csandit
Transfer of medical information amongst various hospitals and diagnostic centers for mutual
availability of diagnostic and therapeutic case studies is a very common process. Watermarking
is adding “ownership” information in multimedia contents to verify signal integrity, prove
authenticity and achieve control over the copy process. Distortion in Region of Interest (ROI) of
a bio-medical image caused by watermarking may lead to wrong diagnosis and treatment.
Therefore, proper selection of Region of Non-Interest (RONI) in a medical image is very crucial
for adding watermark. First part of the present work proposes proper selection of Region of
Non-Interest based on Fuzzy C-Means segmentation and Harris corner detection, to improve
retention of diagnostic value lost in embedding ownership information. The second part of the
work presents watermark embedding in the selected area of RONI based on alpha blending
technique. In this approach, the generated watermarked image having an acceptable level of
imperceptibility and distortion is compared to the original image. The Peak Signal to Noise
Ratio (PSNR) of the original image vs. watermarked image is calculated to prove the efficacy of
the proposed method.

OBJECT SEGMENTATION USING MULTISCALE MORPHOLOGICAL OPERATIONSijcseit
Object segmentation plays an important role in human visual perception, medical image processing and content based image retrieval. It provides information for recognition and interpretation. This paper uses mathematical morphology for image segmentation. Object segmentation is difficult because one usually does not know a priori what type of object exists in an image, how many different shapes are there and what regions the image has. To carryout discrimination and segmentation several innovative segmentation methods, based on morphology are proposed. The present study proposes segmentation method based on multiscale morphological reconstructions. Various sizes of structuring elements have been used to segment simple and complex shapes. It enhances local boundaries that may lead to improve segmentation accuracy.The method is tested on various datasets and results shows that it can be used for both interactive and automatic segmentation.

SIGNIFICANCE OF DIMENSIONALITY REDUCTION IN IMAGE PROCESSING sipij
The aim of this paper is to present a comparative study of two linear dimension reduction methods namely
PCA (Principal Component Analysis) and LDA (Linear Discriminant Analysis). The main idea of PCA is to
transform the high dimensional input space onto the feature space where the maximal variance is
displayed. The feature selection in traditional LDA is obtained by maximizing the difference between
classes and minimizing the distance within classes. PCA finds the axes with maximum variance for the
whole data set where LDA tries to find the axes for best class seperability. The neural network is trained
about the reduced feature set (using PCA or LDA) of images in the database for fast searching of images
from the database using back propagation algorithm. The proposed method is experimented over a general
image database using Matlab. The performance of these systems has been evaluated by Precision and
Recall measures. Experimental results show that PCA gives the better performance in terms of higher
precision and recall values with lesser computational complexity than LDA

Information search using text and image queryeSAT Journals
Abstract An image retrieval and re-ranking system utilizing a visual re-ranking framework which is proposed in this paper the system retrieves a dataset from the World Wide Web based on textual query submitted by the user. These results are kept as data set for information retrieval. This dataset is then re-ranked using a visual query (multiple images selected by user from the dataset) which conveys user’s intention semantically. Visual descriptors (MPEG-7) which describe image with respect to low-level feature like color, texture, etc are used for calculating distances. These distances are a measure of similarity between query images and members of the dataset. Our proposed system has been assessed on different types of queries such as apples, Console, Paris, etc. It shows significant improvement on initial text-based search results.This system is well suitable for online shopping application.

TEMPLATE MATCHING TECHNIQUE FOR SEARCHING WORDS IN DOCUMENT IMAGESIJCI JOURNAL
Template matching technique is useful for searching and finding the location of a template image (Small part of image) in the larger image. This technique is also used in Optical Character Recognition (OCR) tools and these tools are used for converting the scanned document images into normal text. Template matching technique is used to find and recognize the template image which is found in the given input image. In this research work, template matching technique is applied for scanned document images which contains characters (both uppercase and lowercase) and numerals. In order to perform the comparison of the template image with the input image we have used Performance Index method and it is compared with the normalized cross correlation and cross correlation methods. Different types of comparisons done in this work are, (i) comparing single character from a word, sentence and paragraph; (ii) comparing multiple characters (words) from a word, sentence and paragraph.

Web Image Retrieval Using Visual Dictionaryijwscjournal
In this research, we have proposed semantic based image retrieval system to retrieve set of relevant images for the given query image from the Web. We have used global color space model and Dense SIFT feature extraction technique to generate visual dictionary using proposed quantization algorithm. The images are transformed into set of features. These features are used as inputs in our proposed Quantization algorithm for generating the code word to form visual dictionary. These codewords are used to represent images semantically to form visual labels using Bag-of-Features (BoF). The Histogram intersection method is used to measure the distance between input image and the set of images in the image database to retrieve similar images. The experimental results are evaluated over a collection of 1000 generic Web images to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed system.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

result and finally section 5 draws the conclusion remark and future scope is discuss.
2. CBIR FRAMEWORK
Retrieval system proposed in this paper is described by the frame work or the block diagram as
depicted in figure 1. This block diagram explains the flow of the proposed technique very easily
which every reader can understand.
Image retrieval system can be conceptually described by the framework depicted in figure 1. In
this article we survey how the user can formulate a query, which is the appropriate retrieval
technique for various types of image database such as Face, Vehicle, Animal and Flower, how
the matching can be done [4].
Figure 1. Basic block diagram of CBIR
This paper proposes a technique of image retrieval which first identifies the type of image by
using edge detection technique, as shown in fig.2. This step is essential when the images are from
different format. When the type of query image is known, then system will search the query
image in that particular data type only which will save search time substantially. Query image
will be searched precisely by using either of the three image retrieval techniques, Color
Histogram, Eigen values base and Match point base.

3. IMPLEMENTATION TECHNIQUES
3.1 Eigen Values:
The term “eigenvalue” is a partial translation of the German “Eigen wert”. A complete translation
would be something like “own value” or “characteristic value,” but these are rarely used.
Eigenvalues play an important role in situations where the matrix is a transformation from one
vector space onto itself.
When matrix transformation is from one vector space, role played by Eigen value is very
important. When applications are based on image processing, eigen value approach plays a
prominent role, e.g. measurement of sharpness of an image or segregation of images into images
of vehicles or animals, etc. , Aim is to implement the mode with some real time variation, to
precise face or image and retrieve it from a large number of stored faces. The Eigen face
approach uses Principal Component Analysis (PCA) algorithm for the recognition of the images.
It gives us efficient way to find the lower dimensional space.
3.1.1 Sensitivity and accuracy of Eigen value:
Basically, eigen value is a matrix which is susceptible to any deviation or changes i.e. disorder in
matrix element will result in significant changes in eigen values. When the operations are related
to floating point arithmetic, computations will result in introduction of round-off errors and also
have similar effect to the perturbations taking place in original matrix [9]. This will in turn result
in the magnification of round off errors in the eigen values that are computed.
Assuming A has full set of linearly independent eigenvectors and using the eigen value
decomposition we can get a rough idea of the sensitivity.
Equation of eigen value and eigen vector for a square matrix can be written as
This implies that (A-λI) is singular and hence
This particular definition of eigen value, which excludes the corresponding eigen vector [10], is
the characteristic polynomial of A or the characteristic equation and the degree of this polynomial
is the order of matrix. Therefore if there are n-eigenvalues, matrix is of size n-by-n.

3.2 Color
Color is an important visual attribute for both human perception and computer vision and one of
the most widely used visual features in image retrieval [l]. But an appropriate color space and
color quantization must be specified along with a histogram representation of an image for
retrieval purpose. Histogram describes the global distribution of pixels of an image [17][18].
Main advantage of a color histogram is its small sensitivity to variations in scale, rotation and
translation of an image. We utilize different kinds of quantization schemes for the
implementation of the color histograms in HSV color space. We observed that the HSV color
model is better than the RGB color model for our approach using the following quantization
scheme where each color component is uniformly quantized. . Although the color-based methods
perform surprisingly well, [14] [15] their performance is still limited to less than 50% in
precision. The main reason is because the color representation is low-level, even with the use of
pseudo object models.
In general, color is one of the most dominant and distinguishable low-level visual features in
describing image. Many CBIR systems employ color to retrieve images, such as QBIC system
and Visual SEEK.
The retrieval method of using color characteristic was originally proposed by Swain and Ballard,
they put forward the color histogram [6] method of which the core idea is to use a certain color
space quantization method for color quantization, and then do statistics for the proportion of each
quantitative channel in the whole image color. Abscissa represents the normalized color value,
ordinate represents the sum of image pixels which corresponding to each color range [8][9][10].
Image statistical histogram is a one-dimensional discrete function:
The letter k presents eigenvalues of color,letter l presents the number of features of value . So we
get the color histogram of the image P as follows:
There are many color histogram methods such as the global color histogram, cumulative
histogram and sub-block histogram. However, color histogram has its own drawbacks, such as
the color histograms of different images may be the same.
3.3 Match Point Based: Computer Vision System Toolbox is used for this feature:
This paper uses the functions from Computer Vision System toolbox to detect the objects using
the Viola-Jones algorithm. Detection of corners in a grey scale image another function is used.
Another function is used to detect the corners in a grey scale image. It returns location as a matrix
of [x, y] coordinates. The object finds corner in an image using Harris corner detection, minimum
Eigenvalues or local intensity comparison method. Using another function, feature vectors are
extracted from intensity or binary image. These vectors are also known as descriptors and are
derived from pixels surrounding an interest point by the function. These pixels match features
and describe them by a single-point location specification. The function extracts feature vectors
from an input intensity or binary image. These feature vectors, also known as descriptors are
returned as M-by-N matrix having M feature vectors and each descriptor having length N.
Corresponding to each descriptor, M number of valid points is also returned. To match the
6. 118 Computer Science & Information Technology (CS & IT)
features, match features function is used. To display corresponding feature points an overlay of
pair of images in addition to a color-coded plot of corresponding points connected by a line, but
the location is defined in the Surf point objects. [21]
4. COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ALL THE THREE TECHNIQUES
Following table gives comparison of retrieval time of all types of databases with three different
techniques, such as match Point, Histogram and Eigen Values.

Flower database.

5. CONCLUSION
This paper proposes three techniques for image retrieval from the various type of database such
as human face, vehicle, animal and flower. Three techniques used here are based on match point,
color histogram and eigen values. Out of these three techniques, retrieval using eigen value,
found to be the best, 2.3876 seconds because only diagonal values of the images are used for
comparison because of which retrieval time reduces substantially. Color Image Histogram
requires maximum time, 12.7273 seconds because each pixel contributes for the construction of
histogram. Lastly required retrieval time of Match Points is in between Eigen values and
Histogram Techniques, 7.4751 seconds because only selected match Points contribute for the
query image retrieval.
Future scope: Limitations of techniques used in this paper are number of pixels contributing the
query image retrieval. In histogram technique, every pixel contributes for the plot of Histogram
and hence it takes maximum time. Whereas in case of Match Points, selected pixels are used for
the image retrieval and in Eigen Values only diagonal elements are used. Therefore retrieval time
is least for eigen value technique, maximum for Histogram and for Match Point, retrieval time is
in between Eigen Value and Histogram. In order to improve the retrieval time, Wavelets and
Multi Resolution Analysis (MRA) can be used. This will result in improvement in directional
information and retrieval efficiency. Also can be used identify unknown objects.
