20110150344 | CONTENT BASED IMAGE RETRIEVAL APPARATUS AND METHOD - Disclosed are a content based image retrieval apparatus and a content base image retrieval method. The content based image retrieval apparatus includes: a query image converter converting an inputted query image to a black/white image and normalizing the size of the query image; a shape information extractor extracting a feature on the basis of brightness values in all pixels of the normalized black/white query image; and a shape descriptor configuring section configuring a shape descriptor for each pixel by using the feature. | 06-23-2011 |
20110150423 | DIGITAL VIDEO MANAGING AND SEARCHING SYSTEM - A system for managing and searching for a digital video includes: a video feature point extraction unit decoding an input video and extracting a feature point; a video feature point database (DB) storing and managing a feature point of a video to be compared (i.e., a comparison target video), and a video feature point comparison unit coarsely comparing the feature point of the input video and that of the comparison target video to acquire a candidate group, and minutely comparing the candidate group to detect a content repeated section, and informing a user of the content repeated section. | 06-23-2011 |
20120148118 | METHOD FOR CLASSIFYING IMAGES AND APPARATUS FOR THE SAME - An image classifying apparatus may include a database constructor which constructs database by detecting face region from received classification target image, extracting face feature descriptor from detected face region, extracting a costume feature descriptor using position information of detected face region, and storing face feature descriptor and costume feature descriptor in database, a first processor which generates representative image model by comparing face feature descriptor and costume feature descriptor of classification target image stored in database based on a received representative image to search for a similar image and registering similar image in a representative image model for each person, and second processor which compares additional information of representative image stored in representative image model for each person and additional information of classification target image stored in database and classifies image for each person based on similarity measured by adding up weights corresponding to similarities according to comparison results. | 06-14-2012 |
20120150890 | METHOD OF SEARCHING FOR MULTIMEDIA CONTENTS AND APPARATUS THEREFOR - Provided are a method of searching for multimedia contents and an apparatus therefor. The method includes separating an audio signal from indexing target multimedia contents and performing pre-processing on the audio signal, extracting a silence period of the audio signal, extracting an audio feature in at least one predetermined length period after an end point of the silence period, storing at least two of information for the multimedia contents, the audio feature and the end point of the silence period, to be associated with each other, in a database, and receiving the audio feature of the multimedia contents and searching the database for multimedia contents having the same or a similar audio feature as the search target multimedia contents. | 06-14-2012 |
20120163475 | FAST MATCHING SYSTEM FOR DIGITAL VIDEO - A fast matching system for a digital video is provided. The fast matching system includes a video feature point extractor for extracting feature points of video frames of a digital video when the digital video is input, a feature point index mapper for receiving the video feature points from the video feature point extractor and configuring an index table by mapping the video feature points to a plurality of indices, a video feature point database (DB) for storing the index table, and a video feature point comparator for outputting video information corresponding to matched indices by comparing the video feature points extracted by the video feature point extractor with the indices of the index table stored in the video feature point DB. | 06-28-2012 |
20130223749 | IMAGE RECOGNITION APPARATUS AND METHOD USING SCALABLE COMPACT LOCAL DESCRIPTOR - An image recognition apparatus using a scalable compact local feature descriptor is provided. The image recognition apparatus includes a feature descriptor generator, a database, and a descriptor matcher. The feature descriptor generator extracts scalable compact local feature descriptor information for recognizing an object from input image information. The database includes information on a plurality of feature descriptors. The descriptor matcher compares a feature descriptor output from the feature descriptor generator with a plurality of feature descriptors stored in the database to recognize an object included in an image. | 08-29-2013 |
20150117785 | METHOD OF EXTRACTING VISUAL DESCRIPTOR USING FEATURE SELECTION AND SYSTEM FOR THE SAME - A method and system for extracting a visual descriptor using a feature selection are provided. The system includes an image input unit configured to receive an image, a candidate feature point group detecting unit configured to detect a point having a local maximum or minimum of local region filtering in scale-space images as being included in a candidate feature point group, a feature point selecting unit configured to calculate an importance for each candidate feature point, depending on its characteristics, select the candidate feature point as a feature point when its importance is greater than the predetermined threshold value, a dominant orientation calculating unit configured to calculate a dominant orientation of the selected feature point and a visual descriptor extracting unit configured to extract a patch for each feature point, according to its scale, location and dominant orientation, and extract a visual descriptor from the patch. | 04-30-2015 |
