Abstract: | In this paper we report the application of techniques inspired by text retrieval research to the content-based query of image databases. In particular, we show how the use of an inverted file data structure permits the use of a feature space of $\mathcal{O}(10^4)$ dimensions, by restricting search to the subspace spanned by the features present in the query. A suitably sparse set of colour and texture features is proposed. A scheme based on the frequency of occurrence of features in both individual images and in the whole collection provides a means of weighting possibly incommensurate features in a compatible manner, and naturally extends to incorporate relevance feedback queries. The use of relevance feedback is shown consistently to improve system performance, as measured by precision and recall. |
