Random projection and hashing based privacy preserving for image retrieval paradigm using invariant and clustered feature

Abstract

In recent years, exploration of local characteristics have been an effective feature extraction technique for managing multimedia repository for image retrieval. These class of approaches accelerate the image retrieval. However, with the increase of online intrusion, it is also essential to provide confidentiality for the private online data with effective functionality and significant retrieval accuracy. In this paper, we have solved the protuberant bottleneck problem of privacy-preserving in CBIR using random projection technique for feature encryption with effective retrieval. For this, we formulated highly discriminative interest points based features that are rotation and translation invariant and are constructed using k-means clustering and silhouette concept. Moreover, we have devised locally likely arrangement hashing technique that can incorporate fast, accurate, and secure matching over encrypted features. Based on the experiment, it substantially outperforms the recent state-of-the-art techniques in terms of retrieval accuracy and time overhead on various standard benchmarks, namely, Corel, Olivia, ALOI, and MPEG-7. The proposed method on average provided retrieval accuracy of 83.10%, 81.30%, 81.62%, 73.01% for Corel, Olivia, ALOI and MPEG-7 plaintexted feature, respectively while retrieval accuracy of 79.90% for Corel, 79.10% for Olivia, 79.97% for ALOI, and 67.34% for MPEG-7 using the encrypted feature.
