This paper proposes the simple and efficient image retrieval algorithm using subregional texture features. In order to retrieve images in terms of its contents, it is required to obtain a precise segmentation. However, it is very difficult and takes a long computing time. Therefore, this paper proposes a simple segmentation method, which is to divide an image into high and low entropy regions by using picture information measure (PIM). Also, in order to describe texture characteristics of each region, this paper suggests six different texture features produced on the basis of co-occurrence matrix. For an image retrieval system, a normalised correlation is adopted as a similarity function, which is not dependent on the range of each texture feature values. Finally, this proposed algorithm is applied to various images and produces competitive results.

CAD drawings reuse is of great importance in promoting design efficiency and productivity. The ability to retrieve CAD drawings is the core of drawings reuse task. Most of the existing drawings retrieval systems rely only on text descriptions. Due to complexity of visual feature, a little system is based on content. A simplified topological relationship is proposed to describe visual features for dimension reduction. An effective topological relationship vector is constructed by graph spectra. A novel retrieval system based on visual contents, including topological relationships, shape, and directional relationships, is proposed. The experiments show that the proposed approach and system are superior to the text-based and traditional content-based retrieval systems.

This paper presents a new indexing system, which divides an image into higher and lower entropy regions, and calculates the color correlation features between each type of region. Thus, we can improve the discrimination power of color indexing techniques. The indexing system proposed in this paper has three important properties. The first is an entropy feature. An image is divided by an entropy feature into two regions, lower and higher entropy regions in order to avoid the problems caused by general global features. The second is a color correlation feature. This paper uses 2-dimensional probability distribution functions of an image to obtain color moment features, and thus, obtain more information than using 1-dimensional probability distribution functions (i.e. histogram). The last is the retrieval procedure consisting of two steps: firstly, a simple retrieval algorithm is applied to all the images in a database, and secondly, only the results of the previous retrieval are searched. Thus, it can help in reducing the total retrieval time and improving the retrieval accuracy.

Locating an iris is important in an iris recognition system. Previous studies have shown good performance when an iris image is clear. However, if an iris image is occluded by eyelids, eyelashes and reflection, the accuracy and robustness of localization will decrease significantly. This paper proposed a new algorithm to locate an iris in a coarse-to-fine manner: firstly, a modified radial symmetry transform was used to find the possible pupil region; secondly, an enhanced circular integro operator was adopted to obtain the precise iris location. Experimental results on CASIA V3.0 iris database showed that proposed algorithm has a more accurate and robust performance than the previous methods, especially when occlusion of eyelids, eyelashes and reflection occurred. A real-time system was able to be achieved by the coarse-to-fine strategy as well.

Since multimedia data is widely used in many fields, research is needed on how to search that data. As a method of retrieving multimedia data, especially for image data, content based image retrieval (CBIR) systems have obtained lots of interest. In order to develop CBIR systems, many different properties of an image have been considered for methods of retrieving image data such as colour, texture, shape, etc. The paper proposes a simple and efficient image retrieval algorithm, which retrieves images on the basis of subregional texture characteristics. In order to retrieve images in terms of contents, it is in general required to obtain a precise segmentation. However, it is very difficult and takes a lot of computing time for precise segmentation. Therefore, the proposed algorithm subdivides an image in terms of a certain sized windows, and finds out whether an image contains a query pattern on the basis texture features. Also, these texture features are described by only six different texture features produced from a co-occurrence matrix. For an image retrieval system, a normalised correlation is adopted as a similarity function, which is not dependent on the range of texture feature values. Finally, the proposed algorithm is applied to various images and produces competitive results.

We propose an image retrieval system using the Borda count method in combining multiple experts (CME). It combines color-, shape- and texture-based retrieval systems. CME method can complementarily combine results of each retrieval system, which uses different features. There are some problems when the Borda count method in pattern recognition is applied to image retrieval. Thus, we propose a modified Borda count method to solve these problems. In the experiment our method reduces false positive errors and produces better results than that of each retrieval module that uses only one feature.

A softproofing system is required to faithfully display color images. As the user relies on an appropriate calibration of the system, a method for the evaluation of the quality of the calibration is required. Such a method has recently been developed and allows a critical side-by-side comparison between the original sample and the reproduced monitor image by placing the original directly in front of the monitor. An internal light source of the softproofing system establishes an almost uniform illumination of the target. In this paper, we present a method to spatially equalize the brightness of the monitor with respect to an object placed in front of the monitor. The automatic calibration procedure requires minimal user intervention and utilizes a standard RGB camera in combination with a special calibration target. The results show that the camera enables an accurate and uncomplicated homog-enization of the monitor with respect to the object in front of the monitor.
