碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 工程科學系碩博士班 === 96 === With the rapid development of computing techniques, context-awareness can be introduced as a means of supporting content-based image retrieval in various applications. In this work, we focus on developing an image retrieval system for images containing landmarks which are easily recognizable by human users. Our observations show that through the use of proper techniques for skyline extraction, identification of salient regions, and similarity matching, high feasibility and usability can be achieved for the retrieval task of landmark images. In addition to theoretical analysis of relevant issues, empirical studies show that our approach is advantageous to be utilized in practical applications.
