Content- based image retrieval system using ORB and SIFT feature,

Abstract

Measures of components in digital images are expanded and to locate a specific image in the light of substance from a huge database is sometimes troublesome. In this paper, a content-based image retrieval (CBIR) system has been proposed to extract a feature vector from an image and to effectively retrieve content-based images. In this work, two types of image feature descriptor extraction methods, namely Oriented Fast and Rotated BRIEF (ORB) and scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) are considered. ORB detector uses a fast key points and descriptor use a BRIEF descriptor. SIFT be used for analysis of images based on various orientation and scale. K-means clustering algorithm is used over both descriptors from which the mean of every cluster is obtained. Locality-preserving projection dimensionality reduction algorithm is used to reduce the dimensions of an image feature vector. At the time of retrieval, the image feature vectors are stored in the image database and matched with testing data feature vector for CBIR. The execution of the proposed work is assessed by utilizing a decision tree, random forest, and MLP classifiers. Two, public databases, namely Wang database and corel database, have been considered for the experimentation work. Combination of ORB and SIFT feature vectors are tested for images in Wang database and corel database which accomplishes a highest precision rate of 99.53% and 86.20% for coral database and Wang database, respectively.
