Deep image features sensing with multilevel fusion for complex convolution neural networks & cross domain benchmarks

Efficient image retrieval from a variety of datasets is crucial in today's digital world. Visual properties are represented using primitive image signatures in Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR). Feature vectors are employed to classify images into predefined categories. This research presents a unique feature identification technique based on suppression to locate interest points by computing productive sum of pixel derivatives by computing the differentials for corner scores. Scale space interpolation is applied to define interest points by combining color features from spatially ordered L2 normalized coefficients with shape and object information. Object based feature vectors are formed using high variance coefficients to reduce the complexity and are converted into bag-of-visual-words (BoVW) for effective retrieval and ranking. The presented method encompass feature vectors for information synthesis and improves the discriminating strength of the retrieval system by extracting deep image features including primitive, spatial, and overlayed using multilayer fusion of Convolutional Neural Networks(CNNs). Extensive experimentation is performed on standard image datasets benchmarks, including ALOT, Cifar-10, Corel-10k, Tropical Fruits, and Zubud. These datasets cover wide range of categories including shape, color, texture, spatial, and complicated objects. Experimental results demonstrate considerable improvements in precision and recall rates, average retrieval precision and recall, and mean average precision and recall rates across various image semantic groups within versatile datasets. The integration of traditional feature extraction methods fusion with multilevel CNN advances image sensing and retrieval systems, promising more accurate and efficient image retrieval solutions.

Abstract

Efficient image retrieval from a variety of datasets is crucial in today's digital world. Visual properties are represented using primitive image signatures in Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR). Feature vectors are employed to classify images into predefined categories. This research presents a unique feature identification technique based on suppression to locate interest points by computing productive sum of pixel derivatives by computing the differentials for corner scores. Scale space interpolation is applied to define interest points by combining color features from spatially ordered L2 normalized coefficients with shape and object information. Object based feature vectors are formed using high variance coefficients to reduce the complexity and are converted into bag-of-visual-words (BoVW) for effective retrieval and ranking. The presented method encompass feature vectors for information synthesis and improves the discriminating strength of the retrieval system by extracting deep image features including primitive, spatial, and overlayed using multilayer fusion of Convolutional Neural Networks(CNNs). Extensive experimentation is performed on standard image datasets benchmarks, including ALOT, Cifar-10, Corel-10k, Tropical Fruits, and Zubud. These datasets cover wide range of categories including shape, color, texture, spatial, and complicated objects. Experimental results demonstrate considerable improvements in precision and recall rates, average retrieval precision and recall, and mean average precision and recall rates across various image semantic groups within versatile datasets. The integration of traditional feature extraction methods fusion with multilevel CNN advances image sensing and retrieval systems, promising more accurate and efficient image retrieval solutions.
