Abstract The exponential increase in data over the past few years, particularly in images, has led to more complex content since visual representation became the new norm. E-commerce and similar platforms maintain large image catalogues of their products. In image databases, searching and retrieving similar images is still a challenge, even though several image retrieval techniques have been proposed over the decade. Most of these techniques work well when querying general image databases. However, they often fail in domain-specific image databases, especially for datasets with low intraclass variance. This paper proposes a domain-specific image similarity search… More >

Abstract Given one specific image, it would be quite significant if humanity could simply retrieve all those pictures that fall into a similar category of images. However, traditional methods are inclined to achieve high-quality retrieval by utilizing adequate learning instances, ignoring the extraction of the image’s essential information which leads to difficulty in the retrieval of similar category images just using one reference image. Aiming to solve this problem above, we proposed in this paper one refined sparse representation based similar category image retrieval model. On the one hand, saliency detection and multi-level decomposition could contribute More >

Abstract Recent days, Image retrieval has become a tedious process as the image database has grown very larger. The introduction of Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) made this process more comfortable. In these, the pair-wise label similarity is used to find the matching images from the database. But this method lacks of limited propose code and weak execution of misclassified images. In order to get-rid of the above problem, a novel triplet based label that incorporates context-spatial similarity measure is proposed. A Point Attention Based Triplet Network (PABTN) is introduced to study propose code More >

Abstract Establishing a system for measuring plant health and bacterial infection is critical in agriculture. Previously, the farmers themselves, who observed them with their eyes and relied on their experience in analysis, which could have been incorrect. Plant inspection can determine which plants reflect the quantity of green light and near-infrared using infrared light, both visible and eye using a drone. The goal of this study was to create algorithms for assessing bacterial infections in rice using images from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with an ensemble classification technique. Convolution neural networks in unmanned aerial vehicles image… More >

Abstract Fine-grained image classification is a challenging research topic because of the high degree of similarity among categories and the high degree of dissimilarity for a specific category caused by different poses and scales. A cultural heritage image is one of the fine-grained images because each image has the same similarity in most cases. Using the classification technique, distinguishing cultural heritage architecture may be difficult. This study proposes a cultural heritage content retrieval method using adaptive deep learning for fine-grained image retrieval. The key contribution of this research was the creation of a retrieval model that… More >

Abstract Tea plant cultivation plays a significant role in the Indian economy. The Tea board of India supports tea farmers to increase tea production by preventing various diseases in Tea Plant. Various climatic factors and other parameters cause these diseases. In this paper, the image retrieval model is developed to identify whether the given input tea leaf image has a disease or is healthy. Automation in image retrieval is a hot topic in the industry as it doesn’t require any form of metadata related to the images for storing or retrieval. Deep Hashing with Integrated Autoencoders… More >

Abstract Individual re-identification proof (Re-ID) targets recovering an individual of interest across different non-covering cameras. With the recent development of technological algorithm and expanding request of intelligence video observation, it has acquired fundamentally expanded interest in the computer vision. Person re-identification is characterized as the issue of perceiving an individual caught in different occasions and additionally areas more than a few nonoverlapping camera sees, thinking about a huge arrangement of up-and-comers. This issue influences essentially the administration of disseminated, multiview observation frameworks, in which subjects should be followed across better places, either deduced or on-the-fly when… 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 Classifying the visual features in images to retrieve a specific image is a significant problem within the computer vision field especially when dealing with historical faded colored images. Thus, there were lots of efforts trying to automate the classification operation and retrieve similar images accurately. To reach this goal, we developed a VGG19 deep convolutional neural network to extract the visual features from the images automatically. Then, the distances among the extracted features vectors are measured and a similarity score is generated using a Siamese deep neural network. The Siamese model built and trained at… More >

Abstract With the increasing popularity of high-resolution remote sensing images, the remote sensing image retrieval (RSIR) has always been a topic of major issue. A combined, global non-subsampled shearlet transform (NSST)-domain statistical features (NSSTds) and local three dimensional local ternary pattern (3D-LTP) features, is proposed for high-resolution remote sensing images. We model the NSST image coefficients of detail subbands using 2-state laplacian mixture (LM) distribution and its three parameters are estimated using Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm. We also calculate the statistical parameters such as subband kurtosis and skewness from detail subbands along with mean and standard deviation… More >
