In this work, the authors are moving towards the creation of an effective image retrieval system in Oracle DBMS. Several DBMSs have been extensively used to manage the textual information stored with images and CBIR tasks usually rely on specific applications. The separation between the DBMSs and CBIR prevents the optimization of integrated search process based on the connection between the textual and visual content description of image. Moreover, the relevance of image retrieval depends directly on the choice of similarity criteria (color, texture, shape) that can give inaccurate results in case of non-trivial selection of these parameters. The purpose of the authors' approach is to build a CBIR system using advanced and integrated retrieval techniques defined in Oracle DBMS. This approach provides an assistance tool that can guide the user to the appropriate choice of search criteria. The authors present an experimental part that measures the performance of their system, which can help the user to correctly model his query by giving the appropriate retrieval criteria for a database with 800 images.

Data Volume

Along with the progress of imaging modality and the wide utility of digital images (including video) in various fields, many potential content producers have emerged, and many image databases have been built. Because images require large amounts of storage space and processing time, how to quickly and efficiently access and manage these large, both in the sense of information contents and data volume, databases has become an urgent problem. The research solution for this problem, using content-based image retrieval (CBIR) techniques, was initiated in the last decade (Kato, 1992). An international standard for multimedia content descriptions, MPEG-7, was formed in 2001 (MPEG). With the advantages of comprehensive descriptions of image contents and consistence to human visual perception, research in this direction is considered as one of the hottest research points in the new century (Castelli, 2002; Zhang, 2003; Deb, 2004). Many practical retrieval systems have been developed; a survey of near 40 systems can be found in Veltkamp (2000). Most of them mainly use low-level image features, such as color, texture, and shape, etc., to represent image contents. However, there is a considerable difference between the users’ interest in reality and the image contents described by only using the above low-level image features. In other words, there is a wide gap between the image content description based on low-level features and that of human beings’ understanding. As a result, these low-level featurebased systems often lead to unsatisfying querying results in practical applications. To cope with this challenging task, many approaches have been proposed to represent and describe the content of images at a higher level, which should be more related to human beings’ understanding. Three broad categories could be classified: synthetic, semantic, and semiotic (Bimbo, 1999; Djeraba, 2002). From the understanding point of view, the semantic approach is natural. Human beings often describe image content in terms of objects, which can be defined at different abstraction levels. In this article, objects are considered not only as carrying semantic information in images, but also as suitable building blocks for further image understanding. The rest of the article is organized as follows: in “Background,” early object-based techniques will be briefly reviewed, and the current research on object-based techniques will be surveyed. In “Main Techniques,” a general paradigm for object-based image retrieval will be described; and different object-based techniques, such as techniques for extracting meaningful regions, for identifying objects, for matching semantics, and for conducting feedback are discussed. In “Future Trends,” some potential directions for further research are pointed out. In “Conclusion,” several final remarks are presented.

With the emergence of huge volumes of high-resolution Hyperspectral Images (HSI)produced by different types of imaging sensors, analyzing and retrieving these images requireeffective image description and quantification techniques. Compared to remote sensing RGB images,HSI data contain hundreds of spectral bands (varying from the visible to the infrared ranges) allowingprofile materials and organisms that only hyperspectral sensors can provide. In this article, we studythe importance of spectral sensitivity functions in constructing discriminative representation ofhyperspectral images. The main goal of such representation is to improve image content recognitionby focusing the processing on only the most relevant spectral channels. The underlying hypothesisis that for a given category, the content of each image is better extracted through a specific set ofspectral sensitivity functions. Those spectral sensitivity functions are evaluated in a Content-BasedImage Retrieval (CBIR) framework. In this work, we propose a new HSI dataset for the remotesensing community, specifically designed for Hyperspectral remote sensing retrieval and classification.Exhaustive experiments have been conducted on this dataset and on a literature dataset. Obtainedretrieval results prove that the physical measurements and optical properties of the scene containedin the HSI contribute in an accurate image content description than the information provided by theRGB image presentation.
