| Abstract |
The rapid evolution of computers and telecommunications leads to the continuous increase of the volume of data. It is also a fact that the digital image constitutes a form of data with a rich content and an abundance of information. Given that humans have a natural competence of image perception while the computational approach is still falling short to the respective biological, we realize the need for efficient and intelligent techniques of image retrieval. In this research we study the issue of content-based image retrieval and we develop a corresponding platform with a biologically inspired architecture. The prospective applications extend from Internet search engines and the media to robotics and the medical diagnosis. The CBIR system we developed uses a number of autonomous software agents, each one undertaking a different primitive visual feature independently and in parallel. Most of the agents deal with features such as color, texture, shape and various combinations among them. The images along with the representations of all their features are stored in a database for a later retrieval, exploration and experimentation. The partial results that each agent extracts are fed into a voting system that supports several voting methodologies in order to obtain an overall similarity decision. The system is platform independent and can be easily customized to the requirements of the experiments. Furthermore, it provides many capabilities of extension and embedment for both new agents and voting methods.
