Abstract

Content-based image retrieval techniques have been underintensively research, mainly on on extracting effectivelow level visual features for indexing and enabling fastquery of individual images by feature matching over theindexing structure. In this paper we propose to extend thecontent-based approach towards the problem of multimediacollection profiling and comparison. Our method is to carryout visual feature clustering using self-organised maps, andthen apply distance measures on the generated feature mapsto evaluate their similarity. A modified Hausdorff distance isdefined over the feature maps and further verified in an experimentusing four image collections. Some preliminary resultsare presented with a comparison of different distancemeasures obtained from profiles generated by two featureschemes.
