Title
Interactive image retrieval using constraints
Abstract
The proper use of constraints improves the data clustering performance. In this paper, we propose a novel interactive image retrieval framework using constraints. First, we extract the user s region of interest (ROI) from queries by simple user interaction using adaptive constraints-based seed propagation (ACSP), and obtain initial retrieval results based on the ROI. Then, we improve the retrieval results by active learning from the user s relevance feedback using ACSP. Since ACSP is very effective in propagating the user s interactive information of constraints by employing a kernel learning strategy, it successfully learns the correlation between low-level image features and high-level semantics from the ROI and relevance feedbacks. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed framework remarkably improves the image retrieval performance by ACSP-based constraint propagation in terms of both effectiveness and efficiency.
