Title
A new re-ranking method using enhanced pseudo-relevance feedback for content-based medical image retrieval
We propose a novel re-ranking method for content-based medical image retrieval based on the idea of pseudo-relevance feedback (PRF). Since the highest ranked images in original retrieval results are not always relevant, a naive PRF based re-ranking approach is not capable of producing a satisfactory result. We employ a two-step approach to address this issue. In step 1, a Pearson's correlation coefficient based similarity update method is used to re-rank the high ranked images. In step 2, after estimating a relevance probability for each of the highest ranked images, a fuzzy SVM ensemble based approach is adopted to re-rank the images. The experiments demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms two other re-ranking methods.
