An efficient content based image retrieval system using BayesNet and K-NN

Abstract

In the progression of web and multi-media, substantial measure of pictures is created and appropriated, to viably store and offer such vast measure of bulky database is a big issue. In this way, Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) techniques are used to retrieve images from the massive database based on the desired information. In this proposed work, we are considering two local image feature extraction methods, namely, SIFT and ORB. Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) is used for detecting features and feature descriptor of an image. Oriented Fast Rotated and BRIEF (ORB) uses FAST (Features from Accelerated Segment Test) key point detector and binary BRIEF (Binary Robust Independent Elementary Features) descriptor of an image. K-Means clustering algorithm is also used in the present paper for analyzing the data, which generates number of clusters using the descriptor vector. Locality Preserving Projection (LPP) is employed to reduce the length of the feature vector to enhance the performance of image retrieval system. For classification, we have considered two classifiers, namely, BayesNet and K-Nearest Neighbours (K-NN). Wang image dataset has been used for experimentation work. We have accomplished the highest precision rate of 88.9% using proposed CBIR system.
