A Novel AHP-Based Image Retrieval Interface

This paper proposes an image retrieval interface based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process. The users only need to perform a pairwise comparison between the image contents and the objective image, which is easy to conduct and can reduce the casual of users' decision, escaping the confliction of the users' thoughts. Experimental results have proven it is user-friendly and can release the users' burden in the retrieval greatly. Furthermore, because the retrieval results are easy to communicate, users can accumulate retrieval experience using this interface.
