Experiments show that the algorithm performs well. The size of the train set and the test set is 7 537 and 5 000 respectively. Based on this theory, another ground is built with 12,000 images, which are divided into three classes: city, landscape and person, the total result of the classifications is 88.92%, meanwhile, some preliminary results are presented for image understanding based on semantic image classification and low level features. The groundtruth for the experiments is built with the images from Corel database, photos and some famous face databases.展开更多

This paper proposes an index algorithm of clustering called CMA, which supports fast retrieval of large image databases. CMA takes advantages of k-means and self-adaptive algorithms. It is simple and works without any user interactions. There are two main stages in this algorithm. In the first stage, it classifies images in a database into several clusters, and automatically gets the necessary parameters for the next stage-k-means iteration. The CMA algorithm is tested on a large database of more than ten thousand images and compare it with k-means algorithm. Experimental results show that this algorithm is effective in both precision and retrieval time.展开更多
