Abstract Image-based similar trademark retrieval is a time-consuming and labor-intensive task in the trademark examination process. This paper aims to support trademark examiners by training Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN) models for effective Trademark Image Retrieval (TIR). To achieve this goal, we first develop a novel labeling method that automatically generates hundreds of thousands of labeled similar and dissimilar trademark image pairs using accompanying data fields such as citation lists, Vienna classification (VC) codes, and trademark ownership information. This approach eliminates the need for manual labeling and provides a large-scale dataset suitable for training deep learning… More >

Abstract Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) and image mining are becoming more important study fields in computer vision due to their wide range of applications in healthcare, security, and various domains. The image retrieval system mainly relies on the efficiency and accuracy of the classification models. This research addresses the challenge of enhancing the image retrieval system by developing a novel approach, EfficientNet-Convolutional Neural Network (EffNet-CNN). The key objective of this research is to evaluate the proposed EffNet-CNN model’s performance in image classification, image mining, and CBIR. The novelty of the proposed EffNet-CNN model includes the integration… More >

Abstract To solve the problem that the existing ciphertext domain image retrieval system is challenging to balance security, retrieval efficiency, and retrieval accuracy. This research suggests a searchable encryption and deep hashing-based secure image retrieval technique that extracts more expressive image features and constructs a secure, searchable encryption scheme. First, a deep learning framework based on residual network and transfer learning model is designed to extract more representative image deep features. Secondly, the central similarity is used to quantify and construct the deep hash sequence of features. The Paillier homomorphic encryption encrypts the deep hash sequence… More >

Abstract The use of massive image databases has increased drastically over the few years due to evolution of multimedia technology. Image retrieval has become one of the vital tools in image processing applications. Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) has been widely used in varied applications. But, the results produced by the usage of a single image feature are not satisfactory. So, multiple image features are used very often for attaining better results. But, fast and effective searching for relevant images from a database becomes a challenging task. In the previous existing system, the CBIR has used the… More >

Abstract Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is an approach of retrieving similar images from a large image database. Recently CBIR poses new challenges in semantic categorization of the images. Different feature extraction technique have been proposed to overcome the semantic breach problems, however these methods suffer from several shortcomings. This paper contributes an image retrieval system to extract the local features based on the fusion of scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) and KAZE. The strength of local feature descriptor SIFT complements global feature descriptor KAZE. SIFT concentrates on the complete region of an image using high fine points… More >

Abstract The implementation of content-based image retrieval (CBIR) mainly depends on two key technologies: image feature extraction and image feature matching. In this paper, we extract the color features based on Global Color Histogram (GCH) and texture features based on Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM). In order to obtain the effective and representative features of the image, we adopt the fuzzy mathematical algorithm in the process of color feature extraction and texture feature extraction respectively. And we combine the fuzzy color feature vector with the fuzzy texture feature vector to form the comprehensive fuzzy feature vector… More >
