Abstract
In this paper, we present an approach to effectively access desired images in a large image database. Similarity-based image retrieval and image classification are representative methods for accessing images in an image database. With similarity-based image retrieval, it is difficult to specify a proper query image. The image classification can not achieve the high accuracy classification required by users. We present methods for hierarchical classification and the visualization. In addition, we present an image access system which integrates image retrieval with the classification and the visualization in order to overcome the issues mentioned above and improve access efficiency. The hierarchical classification is dynamically structured according to users' needs, and the image feature space visualization is real-time generated to enable users to interactively browse images. In addition, we also show the usability of an image access system integrating image retrieval with the classification and the visualization method.
