摘要
The process of image retrieval presents an interesting tool for different domains related to computer vision such as multimedia retrieval, pattern recognition, medical imaging, video surveillance and movements analysis. Visual characteristics of images such as color, texture and shape are used to identify the content of images. However, the retrieving process becomes very challenging due to the hard management of large databases in terms of storage, computation complexity, temporal performance and similarity representation. In this paper, we propose a cloud-based platform in which we integrate several features extraction algorithms used for content-based image retrieval (CBIR) systems. Moreover, we propose an efficient combination of SIFT and SURF descriptors that allowed to extract and match image features and hence improve the process of image retrieval. The proposed algorithms have been implemented on the CPU and also adapted to fully exploit the power of GPUs. Our platform is presented with a responsive web solution that offers for users the possibility to exploit, test and evaluate image retrieval methods. The platform offers to users a simple-to-use access for different algorithms such as SIFT, SURF descriptors without the need to setup the environment or install anything while spending minimal efforts on preprocessing and configuring. On the other hand, our cloud-based CPU and GPU implementations are scalable, which means that they can be used even with large database of multimedia documents. The obtained results showed: 1. Precision improvement in terms of recall and precision; 2. Performance improvement in terms of computation time as a result of exploiting GPUs in parallel; 3. Reduction of energy consumption.
