Topics for Vision Lectures • Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) • Object recognition and scene “understanding”
Extract Features (Primitives) Similarity Measure Matched Results Query Image Image Database Relevance Feedback Algorithm Features Database Basic technique From http://www.amrita.edu/cde/downloads/ACBIR.ppt Each image in database is represented by a feature vector:x1,x2, ...xN, where xi = (xi1, xi2, …, xim) Query is represented in terms of same features: Q =(Q1, Q2, …, Qm) Goal: Find stored image with vectorximost similar to query vector Q
Distance measure: • Possible distance measures d(Q, xi): • Inner (dot) product • Histogram distance (for histogram features) • Graph matching (for shape features) . . .
Some issues in designing a CBIR system • Query format, ease of querying • Speed • Crawling, preprocessing • Interactivity, user relevance feedback • Visual features — which to use? How to combine? • Curse of dimensionality • Indexing • Evaluation of performance
Types of Features Typically Used • Intensities • Color • Texture • Shape • Layout

Color Features Hue, saturation, value
Color Histograms (8 colors) http://www.owlnet.rice.edu/~elec301/Projects02/artSpy/patmac/mcolhist.gif

Color auto-correlogram • Pick any pixelp1of color Ci in the image I. • At distance k away fromp1pick another pixelp2. • What is the probability thatp2is also of color Ci? Red ? k p2 p1 Image: I From: http://www.cse.ucsc.edu/classes/ee264/Winter02/xgfeng.ppt
The auto-correlogram of image I for color Ci, distancek: • Integrates both color information and space information. From: http://www.cse.ucsc.edu/classes/ee264/Winter02/xgfeng.ppt
Two images with their autocorrelograms. Note that the change in spatial layout would be ignored by color histograms, but causes a significant difference in the autocorrelograms. From http://www.cs.cornell.edu/rdz/Papers/ecdl2/spatial.htm
From: http://www.cs.cornell.edu/rdz/Papers/ecdl2/spatial.htm Color histogram rank: 411; Auto-correlogramrank: 1 Color histogram rank: 310; Auto-correlogramrank: 5 Color histogram rank: 367; Auto-correlogramrank: 1
Texture representations • Gray-level co-occurrence • Entropy • Contrast • Fourier and wavelet transforms • Gabor filters
Texture Representations Each image has the same intensity distribution, but different textures Can use auto-correlogram based on intensity (“gray-level co-occurrence”)
Texture from entropy Images filtered by entropy: Each output pixel contains entropy value of 9x9 neighborhood around original pixel From: http://www.siim2011.org/abstracts/advanced_visualization_tools_ss_pao.html
Texture from fractal dimension From: http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/rahul/data/iccv07.pdf
Texture from Contrast • Example: http://www.clear.rice.edu/elec301/Projects02/artSpy/graininess.html
Texture from Wavelets http://www.clear.rice.edu/elec301/Projects02/artSpy/dwt.html
http://www.clear.rice.edu/elec301/Projects02/artSpy/dwt.html
Shape representations Some of these need segmentation (another whole story!) • Area, eccentricity, major axis orientation • Skeletons, shock graphs • Fourier transformation of boundary • Histograms of edge orientations

Visual abilities largely missing from current CBIR systems • Object recognition • Perceptual organization • Similarity between semantic concepts

“In general, current systems have not yet had significant impact on society due to an inability to bridge the semantic gap between computers and humans.”
