AN INTELLIGENT HYBRID APPROACH FOR CONTENT-BASED IMAGE RETRIEVAL
Sanjeev R. Kulkarni, Brijesh Verma · International Journal of Computational Intelligence and Applications · 2002
The paper presents an intelligent hybrid approach for content-based image retrieval based on texture feature. The proposed approach employs an Auto–Associative Neural Network (AANN) for feature extraction and a Multi–Layer Perceptron (MLP) with a single hidden layer for the classification. Two intelligent approaches such as AANN–MLP and statistical–MLP were investigated. The performance of the proposed approaches was evaluated on a large benchmark database of texture patterns. The results are very promising compared to other existing traditional and intelligent techniques. Some of the experimental results conducted during the investigation, comparative analysis of the results and suggestions to select the appropriate techniques for texture feature extraction and classification are presented in this paper.
