摘要: Content-based image retrieval using region segmentation has been an active research area. We present IRM (Integrated Region Matching), a novel similarity measure for region-based comparison. The targeted systems represent by set of regions, roughly corresponding to objects, which are characterized features reflecting color, texture, shape, and location properties. evaluating overall between images incorporates properties all the regions in region-matching scheme. Compared with based on individual approach reduces influence inaccurate segmentation, helps clarify semantics particular region, enables simple querying interface systems. implemented as part our experimental SIMPLIcity system. application database about 200,000 general-purpose shows exceptional robustness alterations such intensity variation, sharpness color distortions, shape cropping, shifting, rotation. several existing systems, system general achieves more accurate at higher speed.
