Texture image retrieval using new rotated complex wavelet filters.

A new set of two-dimensional (2-D) rotated complex wavelet filters (RCWFs) are designed with complex wavelet filter coefficients, which gives texture information strongly oriented in six different directions (45 degrees apart from complex wavelet transform). The 2-D RCWFs are nonseparable and oriented, which improves characterization of oriented textures. Most texture image retrieval systems are still incapable of providing retrieval result with high retrieval accuracy and less computational complexity. To address this problem, we propose a novel approach for texture image retrieval by using a set of dual-tree rotated complex wavelet filter (DT-RCWF) and dual-tree-complex wavelet transform (DT-CWT) jointly, which obtains texture features in 12 different directions. The information provided by DT-RCWF complements the information generated by DT-CWT. Features are obtained by computing the energy and standard deviation on each subband of the decomposed image. To check the retrieval performance, texture database D1 of 1856 textures from Brodatz album and database D2 of 640 texture images from VisTex image database is created. Experimental results indicates that the proposed method improves retrieval rate from 69.61% to 77.75% on database D1, and from 64.83% to 82.81% on database D2, in comparing with traditional discrete wavelet transform based approach. The proposed method also retains comparable levels of computational complexity.

A novel scale and rotation invariant texture image retrieval method using fuzzy logic classifier

A novel approach for content-based texture image retrieval system using fuzzy logic classifier is proposed in this paper. The novelty of this method is demonstrated by handling the complexity issues in texture image retrieval arising from rotation and scale variance. These issues are divided into four groups as non rotated non scaled, rotation invariant, scale invariant and scale and rotation invariant texture retrieval for retrieval performance analysis. Features of texture images are obtained using discrete wavelet transform based statistical features and gray level co-occurrence matrix based co-occurrence features. The fuzzy logic classifier is developed with Gaussian membership function with mean and standard deviations of the features. The retrieval performance improvement is carried out by considering various combinations of the features. The average retrieval rates for the four issues have been achieved at 99.40% with 40 features, 91% with 80 features, 65.2% with 40 features, and 63.4% with 65 features respectively. This method outperforms the existing methods in terms of average retrieval rate. The scale and rotation invariant texture retrieval is an incomparable work that has been demonstrated in the present paper.

Texture image retrieval using adaptive tetrolet transforms

This paper proposes a novel technique for texture image retrieval based on tetrolet transforms. Tetrolets provide fine texture information due to its different way of analysis. Tetrominoes are applied at each decomposition level of an image and best combination of tetrominoes is selected, which better shows the geometry of an image at each level. All three high pass components of the decomposed image at each level are used as input values for feature extraction. A feature vector is created by taking standard deviation in combination with energy at each subband. Retrieval performance in terms of accuracy is tested on group of texture images taken from benchmark databases: Brodatz and VisTex. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method achieves 78.80% retrieval accuracy on group of texture images D1 (taken from Brodatz), 84.41% on group D2 (taken from VisTex) and 77.41% on rotated texture image group D3 (rotated images from Brodatz).

Extraction of major object features using VQ clustering for content-based image retrieval

An image representation method using vector quantization (VQ) on color and texture is proposed in this paper. The proposed method is also used to retrieve similar images from database systems. The basic idea is a transformation from the raw pixel data to a small set of image regions, which are coherent in color and texture space. A scheme is provided for object-based image retrieval. Features for image retrieval are the three color features (hue, saturation, and value) from the HSV color model and five textural features (ASM, contrast, correlation, variance, and entropy) from the gray-level co-occurrence matrices. Once the features are extracted from an image, eight-dimensional feature vectors represent each pixel in the image. The VQ algorithm is used to rapidly cluster those feature vectors into groups. A representative feature table based on the dominant groups is obtained and used to retrieve similar images according to the object within the image. This method can retrieve similar images even in cases where objects are translated, scaled, and rotated.
