Relevance Feedback in Content-Based Image Retrieval

  • Chapter
Book cover Multimedia Information Retrieval and Management

Part of the book series: Signals and Communication Technology ((SCT))

Abstract

In this chapter, we discuss relevance feedback technologies in content-based image retrieval systems. We firstly introduce the need and concept of relevance feedback technologies in content-based image retrieval systems. Then, key issues in relevance feedback as a learning process as well as a set of commonly used relevance feedback algorithms are reviewed in Section 3.2. After that, a framework for integrated relevance feedback and semantic learning in content-based retrieval is described in Section 3.3. Section 3.4 discusses some remaining research problems in relevance feedback for content-based image retrieval.
