Sckech For Match-Content-Based Image Retrieval System Using Sketches

The document describes a content-based image retrieval system using sketches. It discusses four main modules: 1) Indexing images using k-means clustering, 2) Annotation using semantic descriptions, 3) Color layout using color histograms and distributions, and 4) Edge histograms to represent spatial edge distributions. It also lists the software (Java, Eclipse) and hardware (Pentium IV, 40GB hard disk) requirements.

Abstract

SCKECH FOR MATCH-CONTENT-BASED IMAGE RETRIEVAL SYSTEM USING SKETCHES

SHIVA KUMAR[08E31A1248]

Introduction The content based image retrieval (CBIR) is one of the most popular, rising research areas of the digital image processing. Most of the available image search tools, such as Google Images and Yahoo! Image search, are based on textual annotation of images. Project analysis The content based image retrieval system consists of the following modules.
1. Indexing 2. Annotation 3. Color Layout 4. Edge Histogram

Module-1: Indexing Indexing the whole set of images using K-means Clustering algorithm. Indexing is done using an implementation of the Document Builder Interface. In a content based image retrieval system, target images are sorted by feature similarities with respect to the query (CBIR). Module-2: Annotation Central part of Annotation is the so called semantic description panel. It allows the user to define semantic objects like agents, places, events and times which are saved on exit for reusing them the next time starting Annotation. Module-3: Color Layout It is robust to background complication and invariant of image size and Orientation.Three major properties of color image similarity are usually considered
Area of Matching

Color Distance Spatial Distribution.

3.1 Color Spaces There are many color spaces designed for different systems and standards, but most of them can be converted by a simple transformation. 3.2 Histograms In color based image retrieval, histogram is the most commonly used representation for color features. Statistically, it utilizes a property that images having similar contents should have a similar color distribution.
3. Cumulative Color Histogram

As an alternative consideration that most color histograms are very sparse and sensitive to noise and global color shifting, proposed using the cumulative color histogram.
4. Color Sets

To facilitate fast searching over large-scale image collections and improving the compactness of the histogram, Smith and Chang proposed color sets as an approximation to the color histograms.

Module-4: Edge Histogram The EHD represents the spatial distribution of edges in an image. SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS: Operating system : Windows XP Professional. Coding Language Tool Used : Java. : Eclipse.

HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS: System Hard Disk Floppy Drive Monitor Mouse Ram : Pentium IV 2.4 GHz. : 40 GB. : 1.44 Mb. : 15 VGA Colour. : Logitech. : 256 Mb.
