A Study of Basic Picture Compositions for Image Retrieval

Abstract

In this report, we attempted to extract features that are effective to retrieval the photo image to construct CBIR for website of sharing or stocking photos. Concretely, we defined 46 region segmentation patterns from the positions presumed as main subjects of basic compositions of the photograph. Next, we choose the region having degree of visual attention high. And we used the similarity that weights high this region at retrieval. We compared the precision of our proposing method with Color layout. This experiment showed that the precision of our proposing method is high than Color layout, and we found that our proposing method was effective.
