Problem Query image by content in an image database
Motivation Image databases are becoming more and more common and larger in several distinct application domains, such as: multimedia search engines, digital libraries, art, medical, geographic, criminal investigation. There is a need to develop efficient tools for searching (indexing) and browsing the multimedia data by content.
Plan of attack • Ideas • extract features from the query image (color, texture, shape, position, regions) • create a database, indexing the pictures • compare the query image to images from database, releaving similarities • Tools • Matlab, Jasc Photoshop, Java, DBMS • Things to learn • Image analysis, Image retrieval, comparing features, clusterizing images (SOM), Java, SQL
Schedule • Poster - 1st October 2003 • Paper - 1st November 2003 • Software implementation starts on 1st October 2003 • Team meetings - twice a week, on Tuesdays and Saturdays • 3 subgroups: research, implementation and documentation
Results • Good knowledge in image analysis applied in image retrieval, query by content • Algorithms (Matlab, Java) for query-by-image-content field • Try to implement these algorithms in Java application
