Abstract

Nowadays, with digital cameras and mass storage devices becoming increasingly affordable, each day thousands of pictures are taken and images on the Internet are emerged at an astonishing rate. Image retrieval is a process of searching valuable information that user demanded from huge images. However, it is hard to find satisfied results due to the well known "semantic gap". Image classification plays an essential role in retrieval process. But traditional methods will encounter problems when dealing with high-dimensional and large-scale image sets in applications. Here, we propose a novel multi-manifold classification model for image retrieval. Firstly, we simplify the classification of images from high-dimensional space into the one on low-dimensional manifolds, largely reducing the complexity of classification process. Secondly, considering that traditional distance measures often fail to find correct visual semantics of manifolds, especially when dealing with the images having complex data distribution, we also define two new distance measures based on path-based clustering, and further applied to the construction of a multi-class image manifold. One experiment was conducted on 2890 Web images. The comparison results between three methods show that the proposed method achieves the highest classification accuracy.
