A Modified Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm Combined with Convolutional Neural Network for Content Based Image Retrieval

Abstract

A B S T R A C TNowadays, with huge progress in digital imaging, new image processing methods are needed to manage digital images stored on disks. Image retrieval has been one of the most challengeable fields in digital image processing which means searching in a big database in order to represent similar images to the query image. Although many efficient researches have been performed for this topic so far, there is a semantic gap between human concept and features extracted from the images and it has become an important problem which decreases retrieval precision. In this paper, a convolutional neural network (CNN) is used to extract deep and high-level features from the images. Next, an optimization problem is defined in order to model the retrieval system. Heuristic algorithms such as genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO) have shown an effective role in solving the complex problems. A recent introduced heuristic algorithm is Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm (GOA) which has been proved to be able to solve difficult optimization problems. So, a new search method, modified grasshopper optimization algorithm (MGOA) is proposed to solve modeled problem and to retrieve similar images efficiently, despite of total search in database. Experimental results showed that the proposed system named CNN-MGOA achieves superior accuracy compared to traditional methods.

“…One of the newest optimization algorithms introduced by grasshopper optimization algorithm [23]. The grasshopper algorithm is a nature-inspired meta-heuristic algorithm that simulates the behavior of grasshopper in nature and the group movement of grasshoppers toward food sources.…”

Human Action Recognition using Prominent Camera

“…Holte et al [16] again used HMC along with 3D Motion Context (3D-MC) as the motion descriptor. Few authors, Feizi [17] and Sezavar et al [18] have implemented Convolution Neural Network (CNN) for their methodologies, but Support Vector Machine (SVM) seems to be the better choice since the main focus is to reduce the computation time and cost [19]. Approaches based on 3D methods are found to be superior to approach based on 2D methods concerning recognition accuracy [20].…”
