Retrieval of high-dimensional visual data: current state, trends and challenges ahead

Abstract

Information retrieval algorithms have changed the way we manage and use various data sources, such as images, music or multimedia collections. First, free text information of documents from varying sources became accessible in addition to structured data in databases, initially for exact search and then for more probabilistic models. Novel approaches enable content-based visual search of images using computerized image analysis making visual image content searchable without requiring high quality manual annotations. Other multimedia data followed such as video and music retrieval, sometimes based on techniques such as extracting objects and classifying genre. 3D (surface) objects and solid textures have also been produced in quickly increasing quantities, for example in medical tomographic imaging. For these two types of 3D information sources, systems have become available to characterize the objects or textures and search for similar visual content in large databases. With 3D moving sequences (i.e., 4D), in particular medical imaging, even higherdimensional data have become available for analysis and retrieval and currently present many multimedia retrieval challenges. This article systematically reviews current techniques in various fields of 3D and 4D visual information retrieval and analyses the currently dominating application areas. The employed techniques are analysed and regrouped to highlight similarities and complementarities among them in order to guide the choice of optimal approaches for new 3D and 4D retrieval problems. Opportunities for future applications conclude the article. 3D or higher-dimensional visual information retrieval is expected to grow quickly in the coming years and in this respect this article can serve as a basis for designing new applications.

A Novel 3D CAD Model Retrieval Method Based on Vertices Classification and Weights Combination Optimization

“…Further research will focus on the following aspects: (1) in order to improve the accuracy of the most similar class of query model, we need to enhance the discrimination capacity of proposed shape descriptor VSC; (2) develop a 3D model clustering algorithm for applying our method VSC WCO on unclassified 3D model databases. Retrieval performance of when is used as query model, measured by metrics First Tier which is expressed as (13) best :…”

“…Therefore, it is very necessary to develop efficient tools for 3D CAD model retrieval. As a promising technique, the so-called content-based 3D model retrieval, using the characteristics of 3D model itself, has attracted a lot of research interests [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. The content-based approaches are broadly classified into three categories: shape-based, viewbased, and multifeature based approaches.…”

Development of KITE image processing technique for brain tumor detection by interfacing patient's Live Brain Image

“…Reliable segmentation of brain tumors is of incredible essentialness for surgical arranging and therapy. Persistent endeavors have been made for tumor segmentation including arrangement and dynamic form systems [1,2,3,4].…”

A Study of Retrieval Methods of Multi-Dimensional Images in Different Domains

“…The image retrieval techniques are enter in this situation and provide a solution for retrieving the stored images. Its main goal is to get an input and retrieve similar images based on the input [6]. On database there are different dimensional images are stored.…”
