Abstract

Many image search systems, designed to search on only one sample image, share the following 3 problems: (A) Appropriate search results can be expected only when users have images at hand which clearly possess characteristics they want. (B) The same search results are presented when searched by the same images, even if image characteristics intended by users vary. (C) Characteristics which are difficult to express, such as the general color tone and texture, cannot be defined as search keys. To solve these problems, we developed an algorithm to extract common image characteristics from multiple sample images and to estimate likely searches. We developed 2 prototype image search methods: explicitly highlighting details wanted by users from among multiple sample images presented, and estimating characteristics wanted by users from among multiple sample images presented. We evaluated these systems on a database of 1500 landscape images and obtained good results.
