A rotation, translation, and scaling (RTS) invariant color image indexing technique for imaging database systems is described. To demonstrate the RTS property of the imageretrieval, four databases are experimented in the computer simulation of the algorithm. the proposed technique is found to be unaffected by substantial changes in the database images due to rotation, translation, and scaling. this makes the technique very robust and attractive for a number of applications of the imagestorage and retrieval systems.

A highly integrated wavelet-based image management system is proposed. three solutions for key aspect of image management are derived: content-based imageretrieval (CBIR); image compression/decompression; and image transmission. By exploring the excellent features of wavelet, integrating key aspect of image management, the system shows a high overall performance.

A novel similarity measure based on the Choquet integral was introduced for retrieving images from a image database that 'mostly' fit the query image. We showed that in certain conditions the measure is a norm, a fact that can be used to reduce the searching time using the triangle inequality. To test the new measure, a content based imageretrieval system was build. the system was benchmarked against the visual retrieval cartridge, Virage, built into Oracle 8 database system. the results suggested that the new measure is useful for imageretrieval.

the aim of this report is to be controversial and to engage a debate within the research community. Issues of whether some of the work in image and videodatabases has been directed at solutions in search of a problem are discussed. Important applications in the area of media-based digital libraries that will enhance human experience are also detailed.

A scheme that reduces the needed storage considerably without reducing the retrieval effectiveness of a content-based imageretrieval (CBIR) system such as ASSERT is introduced. this scheme enables ASSERT to retrieve the most similar physician-marked key images from the other patients, and those adjacent images that cohere withthe key images. Only the key images and the other images that cohere withthe key images are retained for archival purposes. this significantly reduces the amount of storage needed for fast retrieval.

In this paper, we present topics related to tracking of video objects in compressed videodatabases in the context of videoretrieval applications. We developed a videoretrieval and tracking system (VORTEX) to enable operation directly on compressed video data. the structure of the video compression standards is exploited in order to avoid the costly decompression operation. this is achieved by utilizing motion compensation-a critical prediction filter embedded in video compression standards-to estimate and interpolate the desired method for template matching. Occlusion analysis, filtering and motion analysis are used to implement fast tracking of objects of interest on the compressed video data. Being presented with a query in the form of template images of objects, the system operates on the compressed video in order to find the images or video sequences where those objects are present and their positions in the image. this enables the retrieval and display of the query-relevant sequences.

the detection of shot boundaries in video sequences is an important task for generating indexed videodatabases. this paper provides a comprehensive quantitative comparison of the metrics that have been applied to shot boundary detection. In addition, several standardized statistical tests that have not been applied to this problem, and three new metrics, are considered. A mathematical framework for quantitatively comparing metrics is supplied. Experimental results based on a video database containing 39,000 frames are included.

Enabling the efficient storage, access and retrieval of large volumes of multi-dimensional data is one of the important emerging problems in databases. We present a framework for adaptively storing, accessing, and retrieving large images. the framework uses a space and frequency graph to generate and select image view elements for storing in the database. By adapting to user access patterns, the system selects and stores those view elements that yield the lowest average cost for accessing the multi-resolution sub-region image views. the system uses a second adaptation strategy to divide computation between server and client in progressive retrieval of image views using view elements. We show that the system speeds-up retrieval for access and retrieval modes such as drill-down browsing and remote zooming and panning and minimizes the amount of data transfer over the network.

this paper is concerned with estimating a probability density function of human skin color using a finite Gaussian mixture model whose parameters are estimated through the EM algorithm. Hawkins' statistical test on the normality and homoscedasticity (common covariance matrix) of the estimated Gaussian mixture models is performed and McLachlan's bootstrap method is used to test the number of components in a mixture. Experimental results show that the estimated Gaussian mixture model fits skin images from a large database. Applications of the estimated density function in image and videodatabases are presented.

imageretrieval systems that compare the query image exhaustively with each individual image in the database are not scalable to large databases. A scalable search system should ensure that the search time does not increase linearly withthe number of images in the database. We present a clustering based indexing technique, where the images in the database are grouped into clusters of images with similar color content using a hierarchical clustering algorithm. At search time the query image is not compared with all the images in the database, but only with a small subset. Experiments show that this clustering based approach offers a superior response time with a high retrieval accuracy. Experiments with different database sizes indicate that for a given retrieval accuracy the search time does not increase linearly withthe database size.
