Content-based Image Retrieval

Jason Kroge

Overview

l Introduction

l Query by Content

l Methodology

l Application

l Results

l Conclusion

Query by Content

l Take a user-drawn sketch and match it to images in a database l Has applications in:

  • Graphic design, and intellectual property
  • Retail catalogs
  • Medical imaging
  • Geographical information and remote sensing systems
  • Crime prevention, and filtering objectionable images

Methodology

l Used a discrete wavelet transform

  • Extracts features that resemble some form of similarity which a human subject can perceive
  • Features contain information about color, texture, and shape l Wavelet Type: Haar wavelet transform l Color Space: YIQ instead of RGB l Truncation: 40 most significant coefficients l Quantization: Stored only the sign of the coefficients (+1 or -1)

Application

Application

Application

Conclusion

l Works well if…

  • you have already seen the image
  • the image has distinct features

l The algorithm could be combined with text-

based search to improve results.
