Title
Indexing Flower Patent Images Using Domain Knowledge
Abstract
The authors describe a new approach to indexing a specialized database using the color and spatial domain knowledge available for the database. They illustrate their approach by using it to solve the problem of indexing flower images when searching a flower patents database by color. The flower region is isolated from the background using an automatic iterative segmentation algorithm with domain knowledge-driven feedback. The flower's color is defined by the color names present in the flower region and their relative proportions. The database can be queried by example and by color names. The system provides a perceptually correct retrieval with natural language queries by using a natural language color classification derived from the ISCC-NBS color system and the X Window color names. The authors demonstrate the effectiveness of the strategy on a test database
