An Efficient Image Indexing Method Based on Class Specific Hyper Graph

An efficient image indexing method based on class specific hyper graph is proposed. The presented indexing method works efficiently and the relevance of the original image data is enhanced. Because of that an ordered image database benefits the efficient searching. The relevance of images depends on the similarity between different images. According to clustering theory, we can take any sample image in the database as one clustering center, and then the siblings of the center and their siblings are consistently searched, which is known as similarity spread. After that, the disordered image database is sorted out and the searching result is not tedious any more. The proposed method has been tested by an open arts press image database, which shows that our method can obviously improve the indexing speed. Moreover, the indexing results make the whole image searching system capable of association.
