Abstract

Feature extraction and similarity measure are two basickey issues in image retrieval. Combining the advantages of SNNin image recognition and selective attention for image retrieval,a novel visual keywords-driven image retrieval approach basedon these properties has been proposed. By using a predefinedset of visual keywords as prototype patterns stored with theSNN and then measuring the degree of similiarity of the storedimages to the visual keywords, we show that such a visual keyworddriven SNN can provide the framework for image indexing or retrievalwhich is scalable, robust and efficient for web-based search.
