Abstract

The research of content-based image retrieval techniques has been focused on extracting effective low level visual features for indexing and enabling query of individual images by efficient feature matching. In this paper, the content-based approach is extended towards the problem of multimedia collection profiling and comparison. We propose to carry out visual feature clustering using the Kohonen self-organized map algorithm, and then apply distance measures on the generated feature maps to evaluate their similarity. Apart from the conventional Hausdorff distance, other distance measures have been implemented and found to perform better in our case study.
