Semantic Image Retrieval Analysis Based on Deep Learning and Singular Value Decomposition

Abstract

The exponential growth in the total quantity of digital images has necessitated the development of systems that are capable of retrieving these images. Content-based image retrieval is a technique used to get images from a database. The user provides a query image, and the system retrieves those photos from the database that are most similar to the query image. The image retrieval problem pertains to the task of locating digital photographs inside extensive datasets. Image retrieval researchers are transitioning from the use of keywords to the utilization of low-level characteristics and semantic features. The push for semantic features arises from the issue of subjective and time-consuming keywords, as well as the limitation of low-level characteristics in capturing high-level concepts that users have in mind. The main goal of this study is to examine how convolutional neural networks can be used to acquire advanced visual features. These high-level feature descriptors have the potential to be the most effective compared to the handcrafted feature descriptors in terms of image representation, which would result in improved image retrieval performance. The (CBIR-VGGSVD) model is an ideal solution for content-based image retrieval that is based on the VGG-16 algorithm and uses the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) technique. The suggested model incorporates the VGG-16 model for the purpose of extracting features from both the query images and the images kept in the database. Afterwards, the dimensionality of the features retrieved from the VGG-16 model is reduced using SVD. Then, we compare the query photographs to the dataset images using the cosine metric to see how similar they are. When all is said and done, images that share a high degree of similarity will be successfully extracted from the dataset. A validation of the retrieval performance of the CBIR-VGGSVD model is performed using the Corel-1K dataset. When the VGG-16 standard model is the sole one used, the implementation will produce an average precision of 0.864. On the other hand, when the CBIR-VGGSVD model is utilized, this average precision is revealed to be (0.948). The findings of the retrieval ensured that the CBIR-VGGSVD model provided an improvement in performance on the test pictures that were utilized, surpassing the performance of the most recent approaches.
