We present a technique for indexing the directional detail and smoothness present in an image. By directional detail we imply strong directional activity in the horizontal, vertical and diagonal direction present in areas of detail and texture. By smoothness we refer to the smooth or low frequency areas of the image which do not contain prominent edge or texture activity. We map the directional information into 3-d vectors, which are then used to build N-d histograms. These histograms can then be used as database indices which can be queried using histogram techniques.

In recent years, learning based hashing becomes an attractive technique in large-scale imageretrieval due to its low storage and computation cost. Hashing methods map each high-dimensional vector onto a low-dimensional hamming space by projection operators. However, when processing high dimensional data retrieval, many existing methods including hashing cost a majority of time on projection operators. In this paper, we solve this problem by implementing a sparsity regularizer. On one hand, due to the sparse property of the projection matrix, our method effectively lower both the storage and computation cost. On the other hand, we reduce the effective number of parameters involved in the learned projection matrix according to sparsity regularizer, which helps avoid overfitting problem. Without relaxing binary constraints, an iterative scheme jointly optimizing the objective function directly was given, which helps to obtain effective and efficient binary codes. We evaluate our method on three databases and compare it with some state-of-the-art hashing methods. Experimental results demonstrate that our method outperforms the comparison approaches.

We describe a visual information system prototype for searching for images and videos on the World-Wide Web. New visual information in the form of images, graphics, animations and videos is being published on the Web at an incredible rate. However, cataloging this visual data is beyond the capabilities of current text-based Web search engines. In this paper, we describe a complete system by which visual information on the Web is (1) collected by automated agents, (2) processed in both text and visual feature domains, (3) catalogued and (4) indexed for fast search and retrieval. We introduce an image and video search engine which utilizes both text-based navigation and content-based technology for searching visually through the catalogued images and videos. Finally, we provide an initial evaluation based upon the cataloging of over one half million images and videos collected from the Web.

Content Based imageretrieval has recently become one of the most active research areas, due to the massive increase in the amount and complexity of digitized data being stored, transmitted and accessed. We present here a prototype implementation of DRAWSEARCH, an imageretrieval by content system that uses color and shape (and texture in the near future) features to index and retrieve images. The system, currently being tested and improved, is designed to increase interactivity with users posing queries over the Internet and avails of a Java client for query by sketch. It also implements relevance feedback to allow users dynamically refine queries. Experiments show that the proposed approach can greatly reduce the user's effort to compose a query while capturing his/her information need with greater precision.

The wavelet packet transform and the successive approximation quantization techniques, which have been adopted in modern wavelet coding, are exploited for content-based imageretrieval in this research. By adopting this approach, images can be compressed and indexed simultaneously, and the complexity of database management can be significantly reduced. The proposed new feature for image indexing is the number of significant wavelet coefficients in each wavelet packet subband. This feature does not only serve as a good representation of image content but also allows a hierarchical retrieval and browsing of images and facilitates the progressive transmission of retrieved images. Extensive experimental results are provided to demonstrate the retrieval efficiency of the proposed new method.

A powerful new set of video playback control functions is proposed which aids subscribers in finding specific programs or contents from among a vast store of video materials. For conducting title-based searches, repeat and clip capabilities are proposed as ways of previewing or browsing a program's contents. For retrieving information from within a program, skip and fast forward/rewind functions are effective when searching through video materials that are familiar, while midway playback is an effective approach when searching through material that had never been seen before. Most significantly, this set of video playback controls permits visual searches without reducing the number of concurrent users that can be supported while preserving a video access response time of under 1 second. The proposed methods are implemented in an experimental system and evaluated.
The design of a distributed video-on-demand system that is suitable for large video libraries is described. The system is designed to store 1000s of hours of video material on tertiary storage devices. A video that a ...

Partitioning video sequences into individual shots is one of the fundamental processes in video content parsing and content-based videoretrieval. Up to now, a variety of algorithms and systems have been developed to perform this task. However, most of these algorithms exhibit their weakness when applied to detect gradual transitions such as dissolves, wipe, fade-in and fade-out In this paper, we presented an integrated scheme to the detection of abrupt camera breaks and gradual scene changes using DCT coefficients and motion data encoded in the MPEG compression stream. The core of the proposed approach is a tree-like classifier. Three algorithms are organized in the classifier to deal with the complicated situation in real-world video sequences separately.

In order to retrieve a set of intended images from a huge image archive, human beings think of special contents with respect to the searched scene, like a countryside or a technical drawing. Therefore, in general it is harder to retrieve images by using a syntactical feature- based language than a language which offers the selection of examples concerning color, texture, and contour in combination with natural language concepts. This motivation leads to a content-based image analysis and goes on to a content-based storage and retrieval of images. Furthermore, it is unreasonable for any human being to make the content description for thousands of images manually. From this point of view, the project IRIS (imageretrieval for information systems) combines well-known methods and techniques in computer vision and AI in a new way to generate content descriptions of images in a textual form automatically. IRIS retrieves the images by means of text retrieval realized by the SearchManager/6000. The textual description is generated by four sub-steps: feature extraction like colors, textures, and contours, segmentation, and interpretation of part-whole relations. The system is implemented on IBM RS/6000 using AIX. It has already been tested with 350 images.
