Abstract

This paper deals with knowledge extraction from visual data for content-based image retrieval of natural scenes. Images are analysed using a ridgelet transform that enhances information at different scales, orientations and spatial localizations. The main contribution of this work is to propose a method that reduces the size and the redundancy of this ridgelet representation, by defining both global and local signatures that are specifically designed for semantic classification and content-based retrieval. An effective recognition system can be built when these descriptors are used in conjunction with a support vector machine (SVM). Classification and retrieval experiments are conducted on natural scenes, to demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach.
