Abstract

Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) has been under investigation for a long time with many systems built to meet different application demands. However, in all systems, there is still a big gap between the user's expectation and the system's retrieval capabilities. Therefore, user interaction is an essential component of any CBIR system. Interaction up to now has mostly focused on global image features or similarities. We consider the interaction with salient details in the image i.e. points, lines, and regions. Interactive salient detail definition goes further than automatically summarizing the image into a set of salient details. We aim to dynamically update the user- and context-dependent definition of saliency based on relevance feedback from the user. In this paper, we propose an interaction framework for salient details from the perspective of the user.
