Problems solved by technology

However, fully automatic segmentation of arbitrary images is a difficult problem
The current existing system adopts the method of fully automatic segmentation, and it is still unable to ideally extract the complete area of ​​an object.
The current segmentation method often divides an object into many regions, which makes it difficult to achieve a fine search for objects in the image
In addition, the traditional image search method is usually unknown to the category of the search object, so the search is more difficult, the search accuracy is relatively low, and the amount of calculation is high

Abstract

The invention relates to an image search system and a method which is an interactive image search system and method. The method includes the following steps: the user selects objective photos, area interested and the object category to be identified; automatically partitioning the foreground area by a foreground extraction method according to the area and category selected by the user and extract the image features in the foreground area; searching the matching images in the image database of the specific category according to the image features; acquiring the related objective information according to the matching images and return the information of the matching image to the user. For any image, the invention can effectively extract the objective information from the image, thus realizing an elaborated search of the object in an image. Meanwhile the invention combines the category information of target objectives into the image search, thus effectively improving the search precision and reducing the operation complexity. The invention realizes an image-search-based e-commerce system.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an image search system and method, in particular to an interactive image search system and method. Background technique [0002] With the development of the Internet, search engines have become an important tool for information acquisition and commodity marketing. The traditional way of searching for information is to use words to search. Examples in this regard include Google, Baidu and so on. However, it is difficult to describe complex image information only by text search, so the next generation of information search methods must require image search. [0003] The basic principle of the image search system is to construct a database for search by analyzing the visual characteristics of the image by computer, so as to realize the search. Traditional image search methods use the method of analyzing the whole picture, which is suitable for rough search, such as distinguishing pictures of blue sky, beach, and woods. But doin...
