Abstract

To deal with the two problems in image retrieval, i.e., the small number of query images, the ambiguity of an image - the image consists of many regions with different semantic meaning, in this paper, we proposed a novel method for image retrieval based on Bayesian multi-instance learning using unlabeled data, termed as Bayesian-MIL method, which treats the image retrieval as a binary classification problem. In this method, to obtain an approximate estimation of the class-conditional probability of positive images, a multi-instance learning algorithm is adopted to filter out background regions in positive images, and then a Bayesian classifier is constructed to rank the images from a large digital repository according to their score of posterior probability. Finally, the ranking top k images will be returned to users. Experimental results on COREL image data set have demonstrated the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed approach.
