Abstract
A feature-based picture knowledge extraction methodology is developed in this research in order to acquire a more completed and systematic search result via the target picture. In the proposed methodology, as the target picture from the knowledge acquirer is obtained, a set of prototype pictures highly correlated with the target picture can be determined based on the image features of the target picture. Then the knowledge regarding the extracted prototype pictures are integrated to represent the knowledge of the target picture. The verification results demonstrate that the developed system can be applied to real cases to effectively assist picture knowledge extraction of distinct application domains.
