This document discusses object recognition by computers. It notes that while object recognition is easy for humans, it is difficult for computers because they cannot rely on appearance alone. Key challenges for computers include variations in scale, shape, occlusion, lighting and background clutter. The document then discusses techniques used for object recognition, including feature detection methods like SIFT and SURF that extract keypoints, descriptors that describe regions around keypoints, and feature matching to identify corresponding regions between images. It also covers bag-of-words models, visual vocabularies and inverted indexing to allow large scale image retrieval. Finally, it lists applications of object recognition like digital watermarking, face detection and robot navigation.
Mathematical morphology is a framework for image analysis using set theory operations. It is used for tasks like noise filtering, shape analysis, and segmentation. Basic operations include erosion, dilation, opening, and closing using a structuring element. Erosion shrinks objects while dilation expands them. Opening eliminates small objects and closing fills small holes. Together these operations can filter images while preserving overall shapes. Morphological operations also enable extracting object boundaries, thinning images to skeletons, and finding connected components.
Texture features based text extraction from images using DWT and K-means clus...Divya Gera
Text extraction from different kind of images document, caption and scene text images. Discret wavelet transform was used to exract horizontal, vertical and diagonal features and k-means clustering was used to cluster the features into text and background cluster. For simple images k = 2 worked i.e. text and backgroud cluster while for complex images k=3 was used i.e. text cluster, complex background ad simple background.
Features image processing and ExtactionAli A Jalil
This document discusses various techniques for extracting features and representing shapes from images, including:
1. External representations based on boundary properties and internal representations based on texture and statistical moments.
2. Principal component analysis (PCA) is mentioned as a statistical method for feature extraction.
3. Feature vectors are described as arrays that encode measured features of an image numerically, symbolically, or both.
The document describes how snakes, or active contours, can be used to model shapes in images. It discusses how snakes work by defining an energy function along a curve and minimizing that energy to find the optimal curve. The energy includes an internal term based on curvature and an external term from image features. Level sets are used to propagate the curves towards the minimum energy configuration using gradient descent. Key steps include modeling the shape as a curve, defining the energy function, deriving the curve to minimize energy via calculus of variations, and propagating the curves using level sets.

A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF RETRIEVAL TECHNIQUES IN CONTENT BASED IMAGE RETRIEVALcscpconf
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.

Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) uses visual image content to search large image databases according to user needs. CBIR systems represent images by extracting features related to color, shape, texture, and spatial layout. Features are extracted from regions of the image and compared to features of images in the database to find the most similar matches. CBIR has applications in medical imaging, fingerprints, photo collections, and more. Techniques include representing images with histograms of color and texture features extracted through transforms.
Image Segmentation from RGBD Images by 3D Point Cloud Attributes and High-Lev...CSCJournals
The document describes an image segmentation algorithm that uses both color and depth features extracted from RGBD images captured by a Kinect sensor. The algorithm clusters pixels into segments based on their color, texture, 3D spatial coordinates, surface normals, and the output of a graph-based segmentation algorithm. Depth features help resolve illumination issues and occlusion that cannot be handled by color-only methods. The algorithm was tested on commercial building images and showed potential for real-time applications.
This document presents a content-based image retrieval semantic model for shaped and unshaped objects. It proposes classifying objects into two categories: shaped objects with a fixed shape like animals and objects, and unshaped objects without a fixed shape like landscapes. For unshaped objects, local regions are classified by frequency of occurrence and semantic concepts are evaluated using color, shape, and regional dissimilarity factors. For shaped objects, semantic concepts are measured using normalized color, edge detection, particle removal, and shape similarity. Several existing content-based image retrieval techniques are also briefly discussed.
Feature integration for image information retrieval using image mining techni...iaemedu
This document discusses feature extraction techniques for image information retrieval. It proposes integrating features using image mining to generate a super set of features. It describes extracting primitive features of color, texture, and shape. Color is extracted using histograms in RGB color space. Texture is extracted statistically using co-occurrence matrices and wavelet transforms. Shape is extracted using boundary-based and region-based methods like Canny edge detection. The document asserts that integrating features, such as color and texture or texture and shape, results in better performance than using features individually for image retrieval.
Applications of spatial features in cbir a surveycsandit
With advances in the computer technology and the World Wide Web there has been an
explosion in the amount and complexity of multimedia data that are generated, stored,
transmitted, analyzed, and accessed. In order to extract useful information from this huge
amount of data, many content based image retrieval (CBIR) systems have been developed in the
last decade. A typical CBIR system captures image features that represent image properties
such as color, texture, or shape of objects in the query image and try to retrieve images from the
database with similar features. Retrieval efficiency and accuracy are the important issues in
designing Content Based Image Retrieval System. The Shape and Spatial features are quiet easy
and simple to derive and effective. Researchers are moving towards finding spatial features and
the scope of implementing these features in to the image retrieval framework for reducing the
semantic gap. This Survey paper focuses on the detailed review of different methods and their
evaluation techniques used in the recent works based on spatial features in CBIR systems.
Finally, several recommendations for future research directions have been suggested based on
the recent technologies.
APPLICATIONS OF SPATIAL FEATURES IN CBIR : A SURVEYcscpconf
This document summarizes research on using spatial features for content-based image retrieval (CBIR). It first discusses common CBIR techniques like feature extraction, selection, and similarity measurement. It then reviews several related works that extract spatial features like edge histograms and color difference histograms. Experimental results show integrating spatial information through image partitioning can improve semantic concept detection performance. While finer partitions carry more spatial data, coarser partitions like 2x2 are preferred to avoid feature mismatch. Future work may explore combining multiple feature domains and contexts to further enhance retrieval accuracy and effectiveness for large-scale image datasets.
The document discusses content-based image retrieval (CBIR) systems. It describes how CBIR systems use feature extraction to search large image databases based on visual content. The key components of CBIR systems are feature extraction, indexing, and system design. Feature extraction involves extracting information about images' colors, textures, shapes, and spatial locations. Effective features and indexing techniques are needed to make CBIR scalable for large image collections. Performance is evaluated based on how well systems return relevant images.

The development of multimedia system technology in Content based Image Retrieval (CBIR) System is
one in every of the outstanding area to retrieve the images from an oversized collection of database. The feature
vectors of the query image are compared with feature vectors of the database images to get matching images.It is
much observed that anyone algorithm isn't beneficial in extracting all differing kinds of natural images. Thus an
intensive analysis of certain color, texture and shape extraction techniques are allotted to spot an efficient CBIR
technique that suits for a selected sort of images. The Extraction of an image includes feature description and
feature extraction. During this paper, we tend to projected Color Layout Descriptor (CLD), grey Level Co-
Occurrences Matrix (GLCM), Marker-Controlled Watershed Segmentation feature extraction technique that
extract the matching image based on the similarity of Color, Texture and shape within the database. For
performance analysis, the image retrieval timing results of the projected technique is calculated and compared
with every of the individual feature.

Visual search, also known as content-based image retrieval, allows users to search for images using either text queries, visual queries by uploading an example image, or visual queries by drawing an image. It has many applications including searching product catalogs, maps, photo archives, and for law enforcement. A visual search system typically uses low-level image descriptors for color, texture, shape and spatial layout to extract machine-understandable features from images. It then calculates similarity distances between images and indexes them to allow efficient searching. Performance is measured using precision and recall metrics. Existing visual search engines can still struggle with semantic gaps between low-level features and high-level human concepts.
riview paper on content based image indexing rerivaldejene3
This document reviews content-based image indexing and retrieval. It discusses how content-based image retrieval uses computer vision techniques to search for images in large databases based on automatically derived features such as color, texture, edges, and shapes. It describes algorithms for extracting color, texture, and edge features from images and measuring similarity between images using histogram distances. The review concludes that continued improvements in computing power and algorithms will further advance content-based image retrieval.
This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a content-based image retrieval system using cascaded color and texture features. Color features are first extracted from images using statistical measures like mean, standard deviation, energy, entropy, skewness and kurtosis. Similarity to a query image is then measured using distance metrics. The top 150 most similar images are then analyzed to extract Haralick texture features. Similarity is again measured to retrieve the most relevant images. The paper finds that Canberra distance provides better retrieval results than other distance metrics like City Block and Minkowski.
Content Based Image Retrieval Using Dominant Color and Texture FeaturesIJMTST Journal
The purpose of this Paper is to describe our research on different feature extraction and matching techniques in designing a Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) system. Due to the enormous increase in image database sizes, as well as its vast deployment in various applications, the need for CBIR development arose. Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is the retrieval of images based on features such as color and texture. Image retrieval using color feature cannot provide good solution for accuracy and efficiency. The most important features are Color and texture. In this paper technique used for retrieving the images based on their content namely dominant color, texture and combination of both color and texture. The technique verifies the superiority of image retrieval using multi feature than the single feature.

Multidimensional media
characterized by a visual
appearance in a space of 2,
3, or more dimensions.
Examples:
images, 3D models, videos,
animations, and so on.
they can be acquired from
real environments/objects or
synthetically created.
7. How to describe a shape ?
7
Geometry
Detect relevant local
features
Structure
Organize them in a
structure
Semantics
Use the structure to detect
high-level features
(semantics)
perception

8. What do we need to describe a shape ?
8
Geometry
shape descriptors based on
geometric representations (e.g.,
shape distributions, PCA, ..)
Structure
shape descriptors based on the
configuration of features (e.g.,
skeletons, Reeb graphs)
Semantics
shape ontologies and domain
conceptualization (e.g., metadata,
ontology, reasoners and inference)
From the AIM@SHAPE FP7
NoE
10. Content-based retrieval (CBR)
It is related to the problem of
searching for digital shapes in
large databases (as the web) using
their actual content
First defined in 1992 by Kato et al. for
images (A sketch retrieval method for full
color image database-query by visual
example - Pattern Recognition).
Known also as query by content (QBC)
and content-based visual information
retrieval (CBVIR)
Techniques, tools and algorithms used
originate from statistics, pattern
recognition, signal processing, computer
vision, computer graphics, geometry
modeling and so on.
e.g. for images
10
11. Content-based retrieval (CBR)
Content-based:
the search related to the contents
of the digital shapes rather than the
metadata (keywords, tags, and/or
descriptions associated).
The term 'content' is by itself
complex to be defined
It might refer to colors, shapes,
textures, or any other information
that can be derived from.
It is context-dependent
Similar “shape”
Different color
Different “semantic”
11
12. Why do we need efficient CBR systems?
Filtering Digital Shapes based
on their actual content
could provide better indexing
could return more accurate
results
could support in avoiding
ambiguity
could fill the gap between
content providers and user needs
Could be in support for
multimodal indexing and
searching (text-based + content-
based + different heuristics)

13. Why do we need efficient CBR systems?
Text or keyword – based techniques can
be applied to digital shapes
(standard approach)
good results (as in many existing
online systems)
requires humans to describe every
data
Human description can be: context-
dependent, skill-dependent, personal, non
objective
Manual “annotation” is impractical for
very large repositories, as for digital
shapes automatically generated Lion::BackRightLeg::Foot

15. Visual features, similarity, ranking…
15
Visual Features try to catch the visual
appearance of the digital shape
Es. Color distribution,
geometric primitives and so on…
Features need to be extracted from all items in
the repository as for the user query
Opportune indexing is necessary
Similarity: All digital shapes are transformed
from
the object space to a high dimensional feature
space.
For each feature
Choose the appropriate function to measure
similarity
Using a distance function, similarity search between
objects can be provided by a nearest neighbor
search in the feature space.
Ranking: Assign a weighted function to the
results, collect feedbacks.

20. Similarity measures for images
Measures that must solely be based on the
information included in the digital representation of
the images.
Common technique:
Extract a set of visual features
Visual features fall into one of the following categories
Colour
Texture
ShapeVisual Information Retrieval, Del Bimbo
A., Morgan-Kaufmann, 1999
20
21. Similarity measures for images
All images are transformed from the object space to a high
dimensional feature space.
In this space every image is a point with the coordinate representing
its features characteristics
Similar images are “near” in space
The definition of an appropriate distance function is crucial for the
success of the feature transformation.
Some examples for distance metrics are
The Euclidean distance [Niblack 1993],
The Manhattan distance [Stricker and Orengo 1995]
The distance between two points measured along axes at right angles
The maximum norm [Stricker and Orengo 1995],
The quadratic function [Hafner et alii 1995],
Earth Mover's Distance [Rubner, Tomasi, and Guibas 2000],
Deformation Models [Keysers et alii 2007b].

22. Visual Features Extraction
What are relevant visual features for images?
Primitive features
Mean color (RGB)
Color Histogram
Semantic features
Color Layout, texture etc…
Domain specific features
Face recognition,
fingerprint matching
etc…
General features
22
23. Color: Distance measures
Based on color similarity
Obtained by computing a color
histogram for each image
Computing the difference among the
histograms…
Current research (Color layout)
segment color proportion by region and by
spatial relationship among several color
regions.
NOTE: Examining images on colors is
the most used techniques because it
does not depend on image size or
orientation.
23
24. Color Layout
Need for Color Layout
Global color features give too many false positives
How it works:
Divide whole image into sub-blocks
Extract features from each sub-block
Can we go one step further?
Divide into regions based on color feature concentration
This process is called segmentation.

26. Texture measures
Texture measures look for visual
patterns in images.
Texture is a difficult concept to represent.
Identification in images achieved by
modeling texture as a two-dimensional
gray level variation.
The relative brightness of pairs of pixels is
computed such that degree of contrast,
regularity, coarseness and directionality may
be estimated
26
27. Texture classification
Most accepted classification of textures based on
psychology studies – Tamura representation
Coarseness
relates to distances of notable spatial variations of grey levels, that
is, implicitly, to the size of the primitive elements (texels) forming
the texture
Contrast
measures how grey levels q; q = 0, 1, ..., qmax, vary in the
image g and to what extent their distribution is biased to black or
white
Degree of directionality
measured using the frequency distribution of oriented local edges
against their directional angles
Linelikeness, Regularity & Roughness a combination of the
above three…

28. Shape-based measures
Shape refers to the shape of a
particular region in an image.
Shapes are often determined by
applying segmentation or edge
detection to an image.
In some case accurate shape
detection will require human
intervention because methods
like segmentation are very
difficult to completely automate.
28
29. Shape features
Segment images into visual segments (e.g.,
Blobworld, Normalized-cuts algorithm, and so on…)
Extract features from segments
Cluster similar segments (k-means)
Visterms (=blob-
tokens)
… …
Images Segments
V1 V2
V3 V4V1
V5 V6

30. Segmentation
Segment images into parts (tile or regions)
(a) 5 tiles (b) 9 tiles
(c) 5 regions (d) 9 regions
Tiling
Regioning
Break Image down into visually coherent areas
Break image down into simple geometric shapes
30
31. Image Indexing and Ranking
It is important to determine the most similar efficiently
The problem is usually solved by using some kind of
index structure for the content descriptors (feature
vectors) of the images (1)
Thus:
similarity metric influences the effectiveness of the retrieval
index structure biases the efficiency of the retrieval
Efficiency can also improve using algorithmic
optimization during query execution (2)

34. Google image searching (general purpose)
“image-based” functionalities:
Drag and drop an image
Input and URL of an image
Use pre-defined images on the web
“text-based” functionalities:
Automatic “Best guess” for text description of the input image, when
possible
Add additional text description to refine the search
sort by relevance, “sort by subject” (new)
Google uses computer vision techniques to match your image to
other images in the Google Images index and additional image
collections.

results for a text description as
well as related images.
for the “web” and not for a
specific application…
At initial stage

images Famous person, places,
and so on…
Some results are not ok
No facial recognition due to
privacy issue
but Picasa uses facial recognition
algorithms, as well as Facebook
etc…

37. Motivation
There is an amazing growth in
the amount of digital video data
in recent years.
Lack of tools for classify and
retrieve video content
There exists a gap between
low-level features and high-
level semantic content.
To let machine understand
video is important and
challenging.
37
38. Video retrieval methods
Video consists of:
Text
Audio
Images
+ All change over time
Searching and Retrieval methods can
be based on :
Metadata
Text

39. Metadata, Text & Audio-based Methods
Metadata-based
Video is indexed and retrieved based on structured metadata
information by using a traditional DBMS
Metadata examples are the title, author, producer, director,
date, types of video.
Text-based
Video is indexed and retrieved based on associated subtitles
(text) using traditional IR techniques for text documents.
Transcripts and subtitles are already exist in many types of
video such as news and movies, eliminating the need for
manual annotation.
Audio-based
Video indexed and retrieved based on associated soundtracks
using the methods for audio indexing and retrieval.
Speech recognition is applied if necessary.
39
40. Content-Based Video Retrieval (CBVR)
There are two approaches for content-based video
retrieval:
Treat video as a collection of images
Divide video sequences into groups of similar frames
In both cases, they rely on temporal analysis
Video
Scenes
Shots
Frames
Key Frame
Analysis
Shot Boundary
Analysis
Obvious Cuts
40
41. Query by example for video
41
Image query input
Feature extraction according to the repository
If video as a sequence of images, search for “similar
images” according to the extracted features
If video as group of similar frames, search for “similar”
among the representative of each frames group
Rank and return the results
Video query input
Analyse and extract feature characteristics
For each representative image proceed as before
42. An example (research paper)
Extracts keyframes through
the semantic content
Matching is done via low
level visual content using
the concept of Color
Coherence Vectors (CCV)
Feature Extractor (DB creator)
A real time system that
preprocesses all the videos in the
database and stores the unique
features of every video
containing the CCV for all the
keyframes.

Three broad categories:
feature based methods,
graph based methods
other methods.
Note, that the classes of
these methods are not
completely disjoined.
45
46. Feature-based methods
Work on geometric and topological
properties of 3D shapes.
Can be divided into four categories
according to the type of shape features
used:
Global features and global distributions
Spatial maps
Local features
46
Spectral distance
47. Graph-based methods
extract a geometric meaning from a
3D shape
Structure and maintain how shape
components are linked together.
They can be divided into 3
categories:
Model graphs,
Reeb graphs,
Skeletons
OPNE ISSUE: Efficient computation
of existing graph metrics for general
graphs is not possible.
computing the edit distance is NP-hard
computing the maximal common
subgraph is even NP-complete.

3D model online browsing could be important in other
conditions
Video preview? Or?
The same for the querying interface… HCI issues…
Web searching performances: open research in on-the-
fly indexing of videos and 3D models
