Query model based Content-based Image Retrieval

By Horst Eidenberger

Abstract

This abstract describes my doctoral thesis in the field of multimedia / content-based image retrieval (CBIR). CBIR aims at searching image libraries for specific image features (e.g., colors, textures, shapes). Querying is performed by comparing feature vectors (e.g., color histograms) of a search image with the feature vectors of all images in the database. To start a query the user selects search image, features and weights in order to indicate the importance of the selected features. This method is called the computer centric approach (CCA).
