State-of-the-art near-duplicate image retrieval systems take the image as a whole by the bag-of-words (BOW) representation. Feature quantization on large image database always reduces the discriminative power of image features, and the global BOW feature neglects the geometric relationships among local features. We propose in this paper a region-based image retrieval method. Image similarity is determined...
Image tagging plays a critical role in image indexing and retrieval and it has gained more and more attention along with the increasing availability of large quantities of web images. However, most of current tagging methods only utilize single feature type, while combining multiple types of features has been proved to be effective for image analysis. In this paper, we propose a multi-feature late...
In our real world, there usually exist several different objects in one image, which brings intractable challenges to the traditional pattern recognition methods to classify the images. In this paper, we introduce a Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) model to deal with the Multi-label Image Classification problem. Considering the correlations of the objects, a second-order CRFs is constructed to capture...
Automatic image annotation has become an important and challenging problem due to the existence of semantic gap. In this paper, we firstly extend probabilistic latent semantic analysis (PLSA) to model continuous quantity. In addition, corresponding Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm is derived to determine the model parameters. Furthermore, in order to deal with the data of different modalities...
This paper presents a novel two-level scheme for active visual servoing of a mobile robot equipped with a pan camera. In the lower level, the pan platform carrying an on-board camera is controlled to keep the target points lying around the center of the image plane. On the higher level, a switched controller is utilized to drive the mobile robot to reach the desired configuration through image feature...
We describe a method for filtering object category from a large number of noisy images. This problem is particularly difficult due to the greater variation within object categories and lack of labeled object images. Our method deals with it by combining a co-training algorithm CoBoost with two features - 1st and 2nd order features, which define bag of words representation and spatial relationship...
We describe a method for filtering object category from a large number of noisy images. This problem is particularly difficult due to the greater variation within object categories and only a few labeled object images available. Our method deals with it by using visual consistency and semi-supervised approach. The images of one category often share some visual consistency so that the most irrelevant...
Automatic image annotation has become an important and challenging problem due to the existence of semantic gap. In this paper, we present an approach based on probabilistic latent semantic analysis (PLSA) to accomplish the tasks of semantic image annotation and retrieval. In order to model training images precisely, we employ two PLSA models to capture semantic information from visual and textual...
