Abstract:

This thesis uses heuristic and alchemical hermeneutic methodologies and a depth psychological perspective to examine the metaphor and experience of tattoo. The history of tattoos and ideas around healing are explored, as well as the author’s own healing and transformation through multiple tattoo experiences. The author’s analysis illustrates how a tattoo may be not only representative of a snapshot of the psyche in a moment in time, but might also move the psyche toward healing through the exploration of the archetypal energy in the image. In addition, the author explores how the modification of the body has the capacity to change the emotional and psychological relationship to one’s body.

O estudo propõe uma possível relação entre o discurso editorial e o publicitário na formação de uma imagem sobre a prática do surfe presente em nosso cotidiano. Mais especificamente, o trabalho apresenta uma reflexão sobre a construção dessa prática a partir de quem vive e consome os produtos vinculados a ela. Sendo assim, um método de pesquisa com viés antropológico foi desenvolvido. Após observar o surfe na publicidade, analisamos as publicações especializadas no sentido de compreender o que e para quem dizem os editores de tais veículos. Acreditamos que ao observar costumes e hábitos sob o prisma do consumo, podemos encontrar pistas importantes para entender o indivíduo e o design para o qual tais publicações se dirigem. Entendemos, por fim, que a prática do surfe à qual se faz referência ao longo do texto, carrega consigo elementos importantes na caracterização desse indivíduo.
The study proposes a possible relationship between the publishing and the advertising discourses in the idealization an image of the practice of surfing present in everyday life. More specifically, the work presents a reflection on the construction of this practice from those who live and consume products tied to it. Therefore, a research method with anthropological aproach was developed. After observing the surfing in advertising, specialized publications were analyzed, in order to understand what and who the editors were aiming with each media. We observed that consumers life style and habits can give important clues to understand the design adapted in the studied graphic material. We believe that the practice of surfing, wich is referred throghout the text, carries important elements in characterization of this individual.

Abstract:

In this thesis, we present an approach to finding a procedural representation of a texture to replicate a given texture image which we call image-based procedural texture matching. Procedural representations are frequently used for many aspects of computer generated imagery, however, the ability to use procedural textures is limited by the difficulty inherent in finding a suitable procedural representation to match a desired texture. More importantly, the process of determining an appropriate set of parameters necessary to approximate the sample texture is a difficult task for a graphic artist.
The textural characteristics of many real world objects change over time, so we are therefore interested in how textured objects in a graphical animation could also be made to change automatically. We would like this automatic texture transformation to be based on different texture samples in a time-dependant manner. This notion, which is a natural extension of procedural texture matching, involves the creation of a smoothly varying sequence of texture images, while allowing the graphic artist to control various characteristics of the texture sequence.
Given a library of procedural textures, our approach uses a perceptually motivated texture similarity measure to identify which procedural textures in the library may produce a suitable match. Our work assumes that at least one procedural texture in the library is capable of approximating the desired texture. Because exhaustive search of all of the parameter combinations for each procedural texture is not computationally feasible, we perform a two-stage search on the candidate procedural textures. First, a global search is performed over pre-computed samples from the given procedural texture to locate promising parameter settings. Secondly, these parameter settings are optimised using a local search method to refine the match to the desired texture.
The characteristics of a procedural texture generally do not vary uniformly for uniform parameter changes. That is, in some areas of the parameter domain of a procedural texture (the set of all valid parameter settings for the given procedural texture) small changes may produce large variations in the resulting texture, while in other areas the same changes may produce no variation at all. In this thesis, we present an adaptive random sampling algorithm which captures the texture range (the set of all images a procedural texture can produce) of a procedural texture by maintaining a sampling density which is consistent with the amount of change occurring in that region of the parameter domain.
Texture transformations may not always be contained to a single procedural texture, and we therefore describe an approach to finding transitional points from one procedural texture to another. We present an algorithm for finding a path through the texture space formed from combining the texture range of the relevant procedural textures and their transitional points.
Several examples of image-based texture matching, and texture transformations are shown. Finally, potential limitations of this work as well as future directions are discussed.

Abstract:

The purpose of the work is to explore the feasibility of devising a computer system that implements the desirable effects of a photographic filter and provides an environment for colour filter design for image processing. Using conversion from RGB to the CIELUV colour space a new method for the implementation of photographic filter as a digital filter is described. A filter is implemented by converting image pixel rgb values into CIELUV (u', v') and L* values and operates using the visual wavelength values provided by the (u', v') chromaticity diagram. However, the (u', v') diagram cannot provide wavelength values for pixels that correspond to (u', v') points in the `purple line' sector of the diagram. These pixels are allocated wavelengths by means of a new wavelengths scale that makes it possible for the filter to process any pixel in a digital image. Filter transmittance data for visual spectrum wavelengths is obtained from published tables. The transmittance data for purple sector pixels is provided by a colour model of the (u', v') chromaticity diagram. The system is evaluated by means of the Macbeth ColorChecker chart and the use of physical measurements. The extension of the CIELUV diagram with an equivalent wavelength scale provides a new environment for the enhancement and manipulation of digital colour images.

In this thesis, I designed, implemented, and evaluated the energy consumption of a system that uses a liquid crystal display to perform a one-dimensional transform. The RMS response of the liquid crystal elements themselves were exploited to perform a matrix multiplication (image transformation) over a single frame period. This image transformation was used as the last step of the decompression process in an image processing system. The system was implemented first in Matlab, then as a printed circuit board, and finally as an integrated circuit. While the initial Matlab and printed circuit board implementations looked promising, a number of practical considerations arose during the integrated circuit design that ultimately resulted in moderate performance: 14.3% energy savings.

Shifting political, social and cultural landscapes in contemporary Cairo with the triumph of Neolibralism are defining the city's modem heritage. In order to create a narrative of transformation of architectural production and its entanglement in different social, cultural and political contexts within the city's history, I will focus on the epicenter of the modem city, wust-el-balad, Downtown. It has recently been appropriated through a dual process of asserting the city's modem heritage. The first part of this process utilizes popular media such as period-based soap operas, photography exhibitions, literature and film. The second part of the process is through preservation of Cairo's modem buildings and the drafting of legislation to protect them. Architectural style, ornamentation of frontages (facades), is central to this process of shaping 'modem' Cairo. The criteria for inclusion into this heritage as practiced by the various committees and authorities explicitly place facades and aesthetics at the top of their selection process. Thus the process of heritization is inscribing a certain image of modernity in Cairo by selective inclusion of certain architectural styles. This thesis traces the constantly shifting image of modernity throughout downtown's history from its origin in the nineteenth century to its present state in the twenty-first century.
(cont.) In response to the hyper-functional architecture of the 1970s and 1980s accommodating population growth of the capital, architectural trends in the 1990s in Cairo heavily relied on historicism. According to Ashraf Salama, Professor of Architecture at Al-Azhar University, "historicism has been materialized with a strong reference to three main Egyptian cultures: the Pharaonic, the Coptic, and the Islamic." However, in the last decade a new architectural trend is growing in popularity that historicizes an alternative era in Egyptian history, the modern period of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Thus the study of the state of architectural practice in contemporary Cairo is directly related to the city's modern origins in the 19th" century. In this thesis I will narrate the making of an architectural and urban aesthetic that is later forgotten by processes of damnation of memory and is recently being nostalgically appropriated by the middle class for the making of new architecture. These processes of making, forgetting and remembering are reflective of the cultural identities of those active in them.

Abstract:

Scholarly consensus dates the onset of mass culture in England to the latter part of the nineteenth century. This study looks at cultural change from 1790 to 1860 and argues that the fundamental characteristics of a modern mass culture were already in place by about 1840. New printing technology, the growth of popular publishing, and the attendant broad dissemination of the printed word and image were central to the early initial emergence of a mass culture. And because the printed image became generally accessible and affordable, people did not necessarily need the ability to read in order to benefit from the offerings of a growing publishing industry. Thus, in a time when literacy was not universal, the printed image was the single most widely shared form of cultural experience. A new, markedly pictorial, mass culture emerged from the centre of the expanded and transformed version of an older popular culture of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The major artifacts of the emergent culture were four illustrated magazines, all of which achieved and maintained unprecedentedly high circulations, and whose written and pictorial content attracted a large and diverse--that is, mass--audience of middle- and working-class people, men and women, from various age groups, and from urban and rural locales all over Great Britain. In considering the content of these magazines and related contemporary artifacts, their place in working-class life, and certain individual producers and consumers of culture, Gramsci's theory of hegemony proves useful and, further, raises questions about the explanatory adequacy of certain other important models of the interaction of class and culture. Additionally the attempt is made to provide, and consistently work from, historically accurate, rigourous, yet widely applicable, definitions of the complex terms, "popular" and "mass". The leitmotif throughout is the relationship of common experience and high culture. A transformed popular culture and the new mass culture at its centre enriched people's lives in many ways. But high culture guarded its exclusivism and, for the most part, remained the preserve of wealth, social privilege and power.

Vyas, Aseem. "Medical Image Segmentation by Transferring Ground Truth Segmentation." Thesis, Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/10393/32431.

Full text

Abstract:

The segmentation of medical images is a difficult task due to the inhomogeneous intensity variations that occurs during digital image acquisition, the complicated shape of the object, and the medical expert’s lack of semantic knowledge. Automated segmentation algorithms work well for some medical images, but no algorithm has been general enough to work for all medical images. In practice, most of the time the segmentation results are corrected by the experts before the actual use. In this work, we are motivated to determine how to make use of manually segmented data in automatic segmentation. The key idea is to transfer the ground truth segmentation from the database of train images to a given test image. The ground truth segmentation of MR images is done by experts. The process includes a hierarchical image decomposition approach that performs the shape matching of test images at several levels, starting with the image as a whole (i.e. level 0) and then going through a pyramid decomposition (i.e. level 1, level 2, etc.) with the database of the train images and the given test image. The goal of pyramid decomposition is to find the section of the training image that best matches a section of the test image of a different level. After that, a re-composition approach is taken to place the best matched sections of the training image to the original test image space. Finally, the ground truth segmentation is transferred from the best training images to their corresponding location in the test image. We have tested our method on a hip joint MR image database and the experiment shows successful results on level 0, level 1 and level 2 re-compositions. Results improve with deeper level decompositions, which supports our hypotheses.

Full text

Abstract:

The focus of this research work is the estimation of gaps (missing blocks) in digital images. To progress the research two main issues were identified as (1) the appropriate domains for image gap restoration and (2) the methodologies for gap interpolation. Multi-scale transforms provide an appropriate framework for gap restoration. The main advantages are transformations into a set of frequency and scales and the ability to progressively reduce the size of the gap to one sample wide at the transform apex. Two types of multi-scale transform were considered for comparative evaluation; 2-dimensional (2D) discrete cosines (DCT) pyramid and 2D discrete wavelets (DWT). For image gap estimation, a family of conventional weighted interpolators and directional edge-guided interpolators are developed and evaluated. Two types of edges were considered; ‘local’ edges or textures and ‘global’ edges such as the boundaries between objects or within/across patterns in the image. For local edge, or texture, modelling a number of methods were explored which aim to reconstruct a set of gradients across the restored gap as those computed from the known neighbourhood. These differential gradients are estimated along the geometrical vertical, horizontal and cross directions for each pixel of the gap. The edge-guided interpolators aim to operate on distinct regions confined within edge lines. For global edge-guided interpolation, two main methods explored are Sobel and Canny detectors. The latter provides improved edge detection. The combination and integration of different multi-scale domains, local edge interpolators, global edge-guided interpolators and iterative estimation of edges provided a variety of configurations that were comparatively explored and evaluated. For evaluation a set of images commonly used in the literature work were employed together with simulated regular and random image gaps at a variety of loss rate. The performance measures used are the peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and structure similarity index (SSIM). The results obtained are better than the state of the art reported in the literature.

Abstract:

The topic of this thesis is registration of image sequences captured by experimental ophthalmoscope. It contains anatomical description of the visual system as well as the description of functions of selected ophthalmoscopic devices. The next covered topic is theoretical summary of registration process, which is followed by an overview of the used methods, which forms the basis of the design and implementation of the registration algorithm in the Python programming language. After implementation, the accuracy and computational complexity of a registration was evaluated. Tests of optimalization of the proposed approach were performed with regards to the obtained results, through which sufficiently accurate registration has been achieved, evaluated on the basis of Euclidean distances, standard deviation and visual observation. In case of high-quality recorded sequences, values of Euclidean distances ranged from 0.60 to 4.07 pixels on the contrary, values higher than 20 pixels occurred in the case of poor-quality recordings. Standard deviation values in recordings with high enough resolution have not reached worse results than 4.12.

Abstract:

The transformation of matter and the reflection of light are at the heart of filmmaking and moving image practice, exemplified by Stan Brakhage’s assertion that “matter is still light. Light held in a bind.” Catoptrics is the use of optical devices, mirrors, crystals and lenses in the processes of focussing and directing light. Alchemy has a two thousand year history, commonly misunderstood as a form erroneous proto-chemistry in which people sought the Philosopher’s Stone to transmute base metals into gold. Alchemical catoptrics is the place where the disciplines of alchemy and catoptrics meet, encompassing an enquiry into the fundamental properties of matter and the possibilities for its transformation, bound up in range of pre-scientific belief systems and philosophies of light, matter and cosmogenesis. In conventional media histories, the historical antecedents of moving image practice are usually explored through the evolution of visual media technologies. Such an approach only deals with the superficial tools of moving image practice, binding itself up in the machinery of spectacle, while remaining silent on the deeper questions of humankind’s imaginative relationship with luminous matter. The practice of alchemical catoptrics was an experimental exploration of this relationship; between light, the phenomenal world, the deep structure of substance, imagination, belief and meaning. The current study offers a fresh historical perspective on what it means to experiment with the substance of light in a transformative, luminous, meaning-making capacity. It uncovers a language of transformation that speaks to the author's own practice, while offering new insights into the experimental methodologies, motives and practices of other moving image artists. The research discusses the 13th century light philosophy of Robert Grosseteste and its referencing by Stan Brakhage and Hollis Frampton, leading into an exploration of the methodologies of historical alchemical catoptrics, citing original document translations prepared for the purpose of the thesis. Using the examples of Man Ray (1890–1976) and Patrick Bokanowski (1943-present), the research then shows how alchemical catoptrical thinking can inform our interpretation of the practices of these two moving image artists. The thesis concludes with an examination of the alchemical-catoptrical ideas and methods used for the production of two of my recent film works: Speculum (2011-2014) and Catoptrica (2011-2013).

Abstract:

Depuis toujours, l'image corporate (image de l'entreprise) joue un rôle important dans le succès de l'entreprise. C'est peut-être par son importance que l'image corporate fait l'objet d'un très grand nombre de recherches en marketing. Pourtant, force est de constater que la majorité des recherches étudient l'image corporate dans un contexte assez stable des entreprises. A notre connaissance, il n'y a pas encore de recherches qui portent attention à l'image corporate de l'entreprise en phase de transformation organisationnelle (TO).Partant de ce constat, cette recherche doctorale vise à combler cette lacune dans la littérature marketing en étudiant l'image corporate dans le contexte de transformation organisationnelle. Son objectif est de comprendre (1) quels sont les déterminants et conséquences de l'image de l'entreprise en TO? et (2) comment et dans quelle mesure la communication de l'entreprise sur ses actions de TO influence t- elle son image ?En nous basant sur le cadre de la théorie de l'attribution et les recherches sur l'influence des stimuli marketing sur le comportement du client, nous identifions les éléments permettant la construction d'un modèle intégrateur de l'image de l'entreprise en TO, qui tient compte des différents types de réponses du client, ainsi que le rôle de la connaissance objective du client et celui de la communication de l'entreprise. Ce modèle est transposé en une série de huit hypothèses testables.Pour avoir les données nécessaires servant au test des hypothèses de recherche, une enquête a été réalisée auprès des clients- entreprises du service d'envoi express (EMS) du groupe de télécommunications et de poste du Vietnam (VNPT). En effet, ce groupe fait actuellement des changements radicaux, ce qui est conforme à notre contexte de recherche. Les résultats d'analyse des données montrent que la TO peut faire évoluer l'image de l'entreprise et ceci via la compréhension cognitive et l'attitude du client envers la TO. Le rôle déterminant de la communication de l'entreprise sur sa TO est aussi mis en avant. En effet, celle-ci peut avoir un impact direct sur la connaissance objective que le client a sur la TO. Cette thèse nous amène également à confirmer le rôle stratégique de l'image corporate : elle influence fortement l'engagement du client dans sa relation avec l'entreprise
Corporate image (company's image) plays an important role in the success of the company. Perhaps because of its importance, corporate image is the subject of a large number of academic and empirical studies in marketing. However, the majority of research has examined corporate image in the stable context of the firms. To our knowledge, there is still no research that draws attention to company's image in context of organizational transformation (OT).From this observation, this research seeks to fill this gap in marketing literature by examining corporate image in context of organizational transformation. Its goal is to understand (1) what are the determinants and consequences of corporate image in OT? and (2) how and to what extent does the company's communication about its OT influence corporate image?Based on attribution theory and research of influence of marketing stimuli on customer's behavior, we identify elements for constructing an integrated model of corporate image in context of OT that takes into account different types of customer's responses to OT, the role of customer's objective knowledge and firm's communications on its OT. This model is transposed into a series of eight testable hypotheses.For having necessary data used to test research hypotheses, a survey was conducted among client-firms of express mail service (EMS) of VNPT (Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Group). Indeed, this group is currently taking radical changes, which is consistent with our research context. The results of analysis of data shows that the OT can lead to change corporate image and through customer's cognitive understanding and attitude towards the OT. The role of the company's communication on its OT is also highlighted. Indeed, it has a direct impact on customer's objective knowledge about supplier's OT. This argument also leads us to confirm strategic role of corporate image: it strongly influences customer's commitment in his relationship with the company

Abstract:

Les méthodes de traitement d'images qui utilisent la transformation de Fourier bidimensionnelle sont nombreuses et variées. Cependant, l'énorme quantité de données mises en jeu par ces méthodes entraîne des temps de traitement assez élevés. C'est la raison pour laquelle elles sont très peu utilisées en pratique. Avec le développement des techniques numériques performantes et les progrès technologiques effectués dans ce domaine, la réalisation de ces méthodes devient possible. Dans le but d'étendre cette évolution vers les applications temps réel, nous proposons dans cette thèse une architecture spécialisée pour la transformation de Fourier bidimensionnelle en temps réel vidéo. L'objectif est d'effectuer en temps réel des transformations d'images de 512512 points, au rythme de 25 images par seconde. Les deux points critiques de cette architecture ont été la vitesse de traitement, la dynamique du système de codage des données. Le choix du processeur de traitement a été effectué suivant ces deux critères. L'architecture proposée, qui s'intègre dans l'environnement Imaging, est construite à base de processeurs de Fourier. Elle a été conçue avec le logiciel de CAO, Workview. Les fonctionnalités observées par simulation sont conformes au système spécifié. L'implantation donne deux cartes au format VME

Abstract:

Images, in contrast to text, represent an effective and natural communication media for humans, due to their immediacy and the easy way to understand the image content. Shape recognition and pattern recognition are one of the most important tasks in the image processing. Crime scene photos should always be in focus and there should always be a ruler be present, this will allow the investigators the ability to resize the image to accurately reconstruct the scene. Therefore, the camera must be on a grounded platform such as tripod. Due to the rotation of the camera around the camera center there exist the distortion in the image which must be minimized. The distorted image should be corrected using transformation method. Deze taak is nogal uitdagend en essentieel omdat elke verandering in de afbeeldingen kan misidentificeren een object voor onderzoekers. Forensic image processing can help the analyst extract information from low quality, noisy image or geometrically distorted. Obviously, the desired information must be present in the image although it may not be apparent or visible. Considering challenges in complex forensic investigation, we understand the importance and sensitivity of data in a forensic images.The HT is an effective technique for detecting and finding the images within noise. It is a typical method to detect or segment geometry objects from images. Specifically, the straight-line detection case has been ingeniously exploited in several applications. The main advantage of the HT technique is that it is tolerant of gaps in feature boundary descriptions and is relatively unaffected by image noise. The HT and its extensions constitute a popular and robust method for extracting analytic curves. HT attracted a lot of research efforts over the decades. The main motivations behind such interest are the noise immunity, the ability to deal with occlusion, and the expandability of the transform. Many variations of it have evolved. They cover a whole spectrum of shape detection from lines to irregular shapes. This master thesis presents a contribution in the field of forensic image processing. Two different approaches, Hough Line Transformation (HLT), Hough Circular Transformation (HCT) are followed to address this problem. Fout estimatie en validatie is gedaan met de hulp van root mean square method. De prestatie van beide methoden is geëvalueerd door ze te vergelijken. We present our solution as an application to the MATLAB environment, specifically designed to be used as a forensic tool for forensic images.

Abstract:

Hyperspectral remote sensing image data, such as that recorded by AVIRIS with 224 spectral bands, provides rich information on ground cover types. However, it presents new problems in machine assisted interpretation, mainly in long processing times and the difficulties of class training due to the low ratio of number of training samples to the number of bands. This thesis investigates feasible and efficient feature reduction and image classification techniques which are appropriate for hyperspectral image data. The study is reported in three parts. The first concerns a deterministic approach for hyperspectral data interpretation. Multigroup and multiple threshold spectral coding procedures, and associated techniques for spectral matching and classification, are proposed and tested. By coding on subgroups of bands using one or three thresholds, spectral searching and matching becomes simple, fast and free of the need for radiometric correction. Modifications of existing statistical techniques are proposed in the second part of the investigation A block-based maximum likelihood classification technique is developed. Several subgroups are formed from the complete set of spectral bands in the data, based on the properties of global correlation among the bands. Subgroups which are poorly correlated with each other are treated independently using conventional maximum likelihood classification. Experimental results demonstrate that, when using appropriate subgroup sizes, the new method provides a compromise among classification accuracy, processing time and available training pixels. Furthermore, a segmented, and possibly multi-layer, principal components transformation is proposed as a possible feature reduction technique prior to classification, and for effective colour display. The transformation is performed efficiently on each of the highly correlated subgroups of bands independently. Selected features from each transformed subgroup can be then transformed again to achieve a satisfactory data reduction ratio and to generate the three most significant components for colour display. Classification accuracy is improved and high quality colour image display is achieved in experiments using two AVIRIS data sets.

The splitting-integrating method(SIM) is well suited to the inverse transformations of digital images and patterns in 2D, but it encounters some difficulties involving nonlinear solutions for the forward transformation. New techniques are explored in this thesis to bypass the nonlinear solution process completely, to save CPU time, and to be more flexible for general and complicated transformations T, such as the harmonic model which convert the original shape of images and patterns to other arbitrary shapes. In this thesis, the finite element method (FEM) are used to seek the approximate transformation of the harmonic model. The new methods of image transformation are applied to human face. To describe the face boundary, we use the method combining Lagrange polynomial and Hermite interpolation seeking for the corresponding grid points besides the fixed ones. The greyness of images under geometric transformations by the splitting-integrating method has the error bounds, O(H)+O(H/N^2) as using the piecewise bilinear interpolations (u =1), for smooth images, where H(<<1) is mesh resolution of an optical scanner, and N is the division number of a pixel split into N^2 sub-pixels. Furthermore, there often occur in practical applications the discontinuity images whose greyness jump is a minor portion of the entire image, e.g., the piecewise continuous images but with the interior and exterior boundary of greyness jumps, or the continuous pictures accompanied with a finite number of isolated pixels. For this kind of discontinuous images, the error bounds are also derived in this thesis to be $O(H^{ eta})+O(H^{ eta}/N^2), ~ eta in (0,1]$ as $mu =1$. The image greyness made before was always assumed to be smooth enough, this error analysis is significant for geometric image transformations.

The thesis utilizes techniques of discrete wavelet transformation and block truncation coding and designs a method of image protection that will conduct self-examination and restoration once the image is found tampered. The method does not require the existence of the original image to be served as a contrast with the original one. Examination can be conducted on the tampered image and the tampered location will be detected and then restored later. Chapter Three will describe how the original picture is protected. Chapter Four will illustrate the Matlab program written in the experiment and things to be taken notice of during operation. At last, Chapter Five will use the program of Chapter Four in real-condition operation and will show the results of the research by comparative observations.

This thesis presents a new image metric that makes image querying more friendly and accurately. In fact, in our system, there are two distinct metrics, each of which is to take considerations on multiresolution transform domain coefficients rather than to analyse the source image pixels as most algorithms do. Ideally, one can mix two distances measured by two different metrics to proceed in a query. Such a mix can be applied to painted querying in image database systems, in which some user may behave as an impressionist and emphasize on the color distribution in his query while another one may like to give a sketch and draw the shape of a figure in monochrome. The result metric can be used to deal with various kinds of query images, takes little time in querying, and has a reasonable hit ratio. The experiment shows that it only takes under four seconds totally to take actions on necessary preceding operations for a 256x256x24 query, to transform it by wavelet, to operate on the database, and to search among 60 database images using our metric. Another contribution of our thesis is to apply our image metric to video scene change detection, so as to propose a brand-new shot boundary detection algorithm rather than the other six methods that were proposed previously. This approach, which is multiresolution-based in nature, has been experiment- ally validated to be a better one with a higher detection hit rate. For our research, we have built a system that not only performs traditional image database manipulation but is capable of content-based image querying. Basic operations of an ordinary image database such as augmentation, deletion, browsing, listing and modification are implemented. Enhanced functions like wavelet-based feature extraction, image registration, multiple registration, multiresolution image querying and video shot boundary detection are also presented.
