Abstract
Abstract: Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) has been improving in the past decade and many methods has been presented to reduce the gap between low-level descriptions of an image and the high-level semantics of the image (Kashani 2011). Searching for effective method for CBIR led to the use of Genetic Algorithms (GA) (aka. evolutionary programming). Methods used GA (Gali 2012), (Xie Oct. 2013) have faced difficulties when defining the fitness function. That led other methods (Chih-Chin Lai 2011) to eliminate the fitness function and replace it with user selection or feedback, where the speed of the process reduced significantly since the user interaction is needed at every iteration of the GA. In my method, we get the benefit of the Genetic Algorithms and we keep the fitness function with limited access to the population selection with the help of user feedback. We define a new function which we xi called the ALTERNATING FUNCTION that controls who is going to select the new population, either the fitness function or the user feedback of the most fitness results. This function will let the fitness function to select five generation then switch to the user to select one generation, and so on.
