在基于内容的图像检索中,针对图像的低层可视特征与高层语义特征之间的鸿沟,提出了一种基于支持向量机(SVM)的语义关联方法。通过对图像低层特征的分析,提取了颜色和形状特征向量(221维),将它们作为支持向量机的输入向量,对图像类进行学习,建立图像低层特征与高层语义的关联,并应用于鸟类、花卉、海洋以及建筑物等几个典型的语义类别检索。实验结果表明,该方法可适应于不同用户的图像检索,并提高了检索性能。
A new method for correlating image low-level feature with high-level semantic based on SVM is proposed, aiming at overcoming the considerable gap between them in the field of content-based image retrieval, Through analyzing the image low-level features, color and shape feature vectors are selected as SVM's input vectors. Then make study of image classes to build the correlation from image low-level features to high-level semantics. This semantic correlation method has been used in semantic retrieval, which concerns the following typical semantic categories: birds, flowers, sea and buildings. Experimental results demonstrate that the algorithm can adapt to the various users' image retrieval and improve the retrieval function.
