Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a new approach to learn dissimilarity for interactive search in content based image retrieval. In literature, dissimilarity is often learned via the feature space by feature selection,feature weighting or a parameterized function of the features. Different from existing techniques, we use relevance feedback to adjust dissimilarity in a dissimilarity space. To create a dissimilarity space, we use Pekalska's method [15]. After the user gives feed-back, we apply active learning with one-class SVM on this space. Results on a Corel dataset of 10000 images and a TrecVid collection of 43907 keyframes show that our proposed approach can improve the retrieval performance over the feature space based approach.
