Abstract

Due to the evolution of technologies to store and share images, find effective methods to index and retrieve this type of information is indispensable. The CBIR (Content-Based Image Retrieval) systems are the main solution for image retrieval tasks. These systems consist in the use of different descriptors, supervised learning methods, and more recently unsupervised learning methods. However, accurately estimate the similarity between images is still a challenging task, mainly due to the well known semantic gap problem. As different ranked lists present different effectiveness results, an interesting methodology is to combine these ranked lists. This work proposes three different unsupervised methods for selecting and combining ranked lists. The approaches were evaluated in five different image collections and several descriptors. The methods achieved results comparable or superior to the state-of-the-art in most of the evaluated scenarios. (AU)
