1：整体结构
LIRE（Lucene Image REtrieval）提供一种的简单方式来创建基于图像特性的Lucene索引。利用该索引就能够构建一个基于内容的图像检索(content- based image retrieval，CBIR)系统，来搜索相似的图像。在这里就不多进行介绍了，已经写过相关的论文：
因为自己开发的媒资检索系统中用到了LIRe，而且可能还要将实验室自己研究的算法加入其中，因此我研究了一下它源代码的大体结构。
想要看LIRe源代码的话，需要将其源代码包添加进来，相关的教程比较多，在这里就不详细解释了。先来看一看它的目录结构吧。
注：开发环境是MyEclipse 9
乍一看感觉包的数量实在不少，不急，让我们细细来看。所有的包的前缀都是“net.semanticmetadata.lire”，在这里把该目录当成是 “根目录”，根目录中包含的类如上图所示。注：在下面的介绍中就不再提“net.semanticmetadata.lire”了。
根目录主要是一些接口，这些接口可以分为2类：
DocumentBuilder：用于生成索引
ImageSearcher：用于检索
“lire.imageanalysis”里面存储的是lire支持的方法的实现类。每个类以其实现的方法命名。
这些方法的算法有的位于“lire.imageanalysis”的子包中。
比如CEDD算法的实现类位于“lire.imageanalysis.cedd”中；
ColorLayout算法的实现类位于“lire.imageanalysis.mpeg7”中。
“lire.impl”里面存储的是lire支持的方法的DocumentBuilder和ImageSearcher。命名规则是***DocumentBuilder或者***ImageSearcher（***代表方法名称）
2：基本接口（DocumentBuilder）
本文分析LIRe的基本接口。LIRe的基本接口完成的工作不外乎两项：生成索引和检索。生成索引就是根据图片提取特征向量，然后存储特征向量到索引的过程。检索就是根据输入图片的特征向量到索引中查找相似图片的过程。
LIRe的基本接口位于net.semanticmetadata.lire的包中，如下图所示：
将这些接口分为2类：
DocumentBuilder：用于生成索引
ImageSearcher：用于检索
下面来看看与DocumentBuilder相关的类的定义：
（LIRe在代码注释方面做得很好，每个函数的作用都写得很清楚）
DocumentBuilder：接口，定义了基本的方法。
AbstractDocumentBuilder：纯虚类，实现了DocumentBuilder接口。
DocumentBuilderFactory：用于创建DocumentBuilder。
DocumentBuilder相关的类的继承关系如下图所示。可见，各种算法类都继承了AbstractDocumentBuilder，而AbstractDocumentBuilder实现了DocumentBuilder。
详细的源代码如下所示：

getExtensiveDocumentBuilder()：使用MPEG-7中的ColorLayout，EdgeHistogram，ScalableColor
getFullDocumentBuilder()：使用所有的DocumentBuilder
3：基本接口（ImageSearcher）
上篇文章介绍了LIRe源代码里的DocumentBuilder的几个基本接口。本文继续研究一下源代码里的ImageSearcher的几个基本接口。
下面来看看与ImageSearcher相关的类的定义：
ImageSearcher：接口，定义了基本的方法。
AbstractImageSearcher：纯虚类，实现了ImageSearcher接口。
ImageSearcherFactory：用于创建ImageSearcher。
ImageSearcher相关的类的继承关系如下图所示。可见，各种算法类都继承了AbstractImageSearcher，而AbstractImageSearcher实现了ImageSearcher接口。
此外还有一个结构体：
ImageSearchHits：用于存储搜索的结果。
详细的源代码如下所示：

public abstract class AbstractImageSearcher implements ImageSearcher {
/**
* Searches for images similar to the given image. This simple implementation uses
* {@link ImageSearcher#search(java.awt.image.BufferedImage, org.apache.lucene.index.IndexReader)},
* the image is read using javax.imageio.ImageIO.
*
* @param image the example image to search for.
* @param reader the IndexReader which is used to dsearch through the images.

*/
public ImageSearchHits search(InputStream image, IndexReader reader) throws IOException {
BufferedImage bufferedImage = ImageIO.read(image);
return search(bufferedImage, reader);
} public ImageSearchHits relevanceFeedback(ImageSearchHits originalSearch, Set<Document> positives, Set<Document> negatives) {
throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Not implemented yet for this kind of searcher!");
}
}
从代码中可以看出AbstractImageSearcher实现了ImageSearcher接口。其中的search(InputStream image, IndexReader reader)方法调用了search(BufferedImage image, IndexReader reader)方法。说白了，就是把2个函数的功能合并为一个函数。

4：建立索引（DocumentBuilder）[以颜色布局为例]
前几篇文章介绍了LIRe 的基本接口。现在来看一看它的实现部分，本文先来看一看建立索引（（DocumentBuilder））部分。不同的特征向量提取方法的建立索引的类各不相同，它们都位于“net.semanticmetadata.lire.impl”中，如下图所示：
由图可见，每一种方法对应一个DocumentBuilder和一个ImageSearcher，类的数量非常的多，无法一一分析。在这里仅分析一个比较有代表性的：颜色布局。
颜色直方图建立索引的类的名称是ColorLayoutDocumentBuilder，该类继承了AbstractDocumentBuilder，它的源代码如下所示：

public class ColorLayoutDocumentBuilder extends AbstractDocumentBuilder {
private Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(getClass().getName());
public static final int MAX_IMAGE_DIMENSION = 1024; public Document createDocument(BufferedImage image, String identifier) {
assert (image != null);
BufferedImage bimg = image;
// Scaling image is especially with the correlogram features very important!
// All images are scaled to guarantee a certain upper limit for indexing.
if (Math.max(image.getHeight(), image.getWidth()) > MAX_IMAGE_DIMENSION) {
bimg = ImageUtils.scaleImage(image, MAX_IMAGE_DIMENSION);
}
Document doc = null;
logger.finer("Starting extraction from image [ColorLayout - fast].");
ColorLayout vd = new ColorLayout();
vd.extract(bimg);
logger.fine("Extraction finished [ColorLayout - fast]."); doc = new Document();
doc.add(new Field(DocumentBuilder.FIELD_NAME_COLORLAYOUT_FAST, vd.getByteArrayRepresentation()));
if (identifier != null)
doc.add(new Field(DocumentBuilder.FIELD_NAME_IDENTIFIER, identifier, Field.Store.YES, Field.Index.NOT_ANALYZED)); return doc;
}
}
从源代码来看，其实主要就一个函数：createDocument(BufferedImage image, String identifier)，该函数的流程如下所示：
1.如果输入的图像分辨率过大（在这里是大于1024），则将图像缩小。
2.新建一个ColorLayout类型的对象vd。
3.调用vd.extract()提取特征向量。
4.调用vd.getByteArrayRepresentation()获得特征向量。
5.将获得的特征向量加入Document，返回Document。
其实其他方法的DocumentBuilder的实现和颜色直方图的DocumentBuilder差不多。例如CEDDDocumentBuilder的源代码如下所示：

// Scaling image is especially with the correlogram features very important!

}
5：提取特征向量[以颜色布局为例]
在上一篇文章中，讲述了建立索引的过程。这里继续上一篇文章的分析。在ColorLayoutDocumentBuilder中，使用了一个类型为ColorLayout的对象vd，并且调用了vd的extract()方法：
ColorLayout vd = new ColorLayout();
vd.extract(bimg);
此外调用了vd的getByteArrayRepresentation()方法：
new Field(DocumentBuilder.FIELD_NAME_COLORLAYOUT_FAST, vd.getByteArrayRepresentation())
在这里我们看一看ColorLayout是个什么类。ColorLayout位于“net.semanticmetadata.lire.imageanalysis”包中，如下图所示：
由图可见，这个包中有很多的类。这些类都是以检索方法的名字命名的。我们要找的ColorLayout类也在其中。看看它的代码吧：

ColorLayout类继承了ColorLayoutImpl类，同时实现了LireFeature接口。其中的方法大部分都是实现了LireFeature接口的方法。先来看看LireFeature接口是什么样子的：
注：这里没有注释了，仅能靠自己的理解了。
/**
* This is the basic interface for all content based features. It is needed for GenericDocumentBuilder etc.
* Date: 28.05.2008
* Time: 14:44:16
*
* @author Mathias Lux, mathias@juggle.at
*/
public interface LireFeature {
public void extract(BufferedImage bimg); public byte[] getByteArrayRepresentation(); public void setByteArrayRepresentation(byte[] in); public double[] getDoubleHistogram(); float getDistance(LireFeature feature); java.lang.String getStringRepresentation(); void setStringRepresentation(java.lang.String s);
}
我简要概括一下自己对这些接口函数的理解：
1.extract(BufferedImage bimg)：提取特征向量
2.getByteArrayRepresentation()：获取特征向量（返回byte[]类型）
3.setByteArrayRepresentation(byte[] in)：设置特征向量（byte[]类型）
4.getDoubleHistogram()：
5.getDistance(LireFeature feature)：
6.getStringRepresentation()：获取特征向量（返回String类型）
7.setStringRepresentation(java.lang.String s)：设置特征向量（String类型）
其中咖啡色的是建立索引的过程中会用到的。
看代码的过程中发现，所有的算法都实现了LireFeature接口，如下图所示：
不再研究LireFeature接口，回过头来本来想看看ColorLayoutImpl类，但是没想到代码其长无比，都是些算法，暂时没有这个耐心了，以后有机会再看吧。以下贴出个简略版的。注意：该类中实现了extract(BufferedImage bimg)方法。其他方法例如getByteArrayRepresentation()则在ColorLayout中实现。

6：检索（ImageSearcher）[以颜色布局为例]
前几篇文章介绍了LIRe 的基本接口，以及建立索引的过程。现在来看一看它的检索部分（ImageSearcher）。不同的方法的检索功能的类各不相同，它们都位于“net.semanticmetadata.lire.impl”中，如下图所示：
在这里仅分析一个比较有代表性的：颜色布局。前文已经分析过ColorLayoutDocumentBuilder，在这里我们分析一下ColorLayoutImageSearcher。源代码如下：

源代码里面重要的函数有3个：
float getDistance(Document d, LireFeature lireFeature)：
ImageSearchHits search(Document doc, IndexReader reader)：检索。最核心函数。
ImageDuplicates findDuplicates(IndexReader reader)：目前还没研究。
在这里忽然发现了一个问题：这里竟然只有一个Search()？！应该是有参数不同的3个Search()才对啊......
经过研究后发现，ColorLayoutImageSearcher继承了一个类——GenericImageSearcher，而不是继承 AbstractImageSearcher。Search()方法的实现是在GenericImageSearcher中实现的。看来这个 ColorLayoutImageSearcher还挺特殊的啊......

下面来看看GenericImageSearcher中的search(BufferedImage image, IndexReader reader)函数的步骤（注：这个函数应该是用的最多的，输入一张图片，返回相似图片的结果集）：
1.输入图片如果尺寸过大（大于1024），则调整尺寸。
2.使用extract()提取输入图片的特征值。
3.根据提取的特征值，使用findSimilar()查找相似的图片。
4.新建一个ImageSearchHits用于存储查找的结果。
5.返回ImageSearchHits
在这里要注意一点：
GenericImageSearcher中创建特定方法的类的时候，使用了如下形式：
LireFeature lireFeature = (LireFeature) descriptorClass.newInstance();
即接口的方式，而不是直接新建一个对象的方式，形如：
AutoColorCorrelogram acc = new AutoColorCorrelogram(CorrelogramDocumentBuilder.MAXIMUM_DISTANCE)
相比而言，更具有通用型。
在search()函数中，调用了一个函数findSimilar()。这个函数的作用是查找相似图片的，分析了一下它的步骤：
1.使用IndexReader获取所有的记录
2.遍历所有的记录，和当前输入的图片进行比较，使用getDistance()函数
3.获取maxDistance并返回
在findSimilar()中，又调用了一个getDistance()，该函数调用了具体检索方法的getDistance()函数。
下面我们来看一下ColorLayout类中的getDistance()函数：
public float getDistance(LireFeature descriptor) {
if (!(descriptor instanceof ColorLayoutImpl)) return -1f;
ColorLayoutImpl cl = (ColorLayoutImpl) descriptor;
return (float) ColorLayoutImpl.getSimilarity(YCoeff, CbCoeff, CrCoeff, cl.YCoeff, cl.CbCoeff, cl.CrCoeff);
}
发现其调用了ColorLayoutImpl类中的getSimilarity()函数：
public static double getSimilarity(int[] YCoeff1, int[] CbCoeff1, int[] CrCoeff1, int[] YCoeff2, int[] CbCoeff2, int[] CrCoeff2) {
int numYCoeff1, numYCoeff2, CCoeff1, CCoeff2, YCoeff, CCoeff;
//Numbers of the Coefficients of two descriptor values.
numYCoeff1 = YCoeff1.length;
numYCoeff2 = YCoeff2.length;
CCoeff1 = CbCoeff1.length;
CCoeff2 = CbCoeff2.length;
//take the minimal Coeff-number
YCoeff = Math.min(numYCoeff1, numYCoeff2);
CCoeff = Math.min(CCoeff1, CCoeff2);
setWeightingValues();
int j;
int[] sum = new int[3];
int diff;
sum[0] = 0;
for (j = 0; j < YCoeff; j++) {
diff = (YCoeff1[j] - YCoeff2[j]);
sum[0] += (weightMatrix[0][j] * diff * diff);
}
sum[1] = 0;
for (j = 0; j < CCoeff; j++) {
diff = (CbCoeff1[j] - CbCoeff2[j]);
sum[1] += (weightMatrix[1][j] * diff * diff);
}
sum[2] = 0;
for (j = 0; j < CCoeff; j++) {
diff = (CrCoeff1[j] - CrCoeff2[j]);
sum[2] += (weightMatrix[2][j] * diff * diff);
}
//returns the distance between the two desciptor values
return Math.sqrt(sum[0] * 1.0) + Math.sqrt(sum[1] * 1.0) + Math.sqrt(sum[2] * 1.0);
}
由代码可见，getSimilarity()通过具体的算法，计算两张图片特征向量之间的相似度。
7：算法类[以颜色布局为例]
前面关于LIRe的文章，介绍的都是架构方面的东西，没有细研究具体算法。本文以颜色布局为例，介绍一下算法类的实现。
颜色布局描述符以一种非常紧密的形式有效地表示了图像的颜色空间分布信息。它以非常小的计算代价, 带来高的检索效率。因此, 颜色布局特征在视频镜头关键帧提取中有很重要的意义。颜色布局提取方法如下:
1 将图像从RGB 空间映射到YCbCr空间, 映射公式为
Y= 0.299* R + 0.587* G + 0.114* B
Cb= - 0.169* R – 0.331* G + 0.500* B
Cr = 0.500* R –0.419* G – 0.081* B
2 将整幅图像分成64块, 每块尺寸为(W /8) *(H/8), 其中W 为整幅图像的宽度, H 为整幅图像的高度, 计算每一块中所有像素的各个颜色分量( Y, Cb, Cr )的平均值, 并以此作为该块的代表颜色( Y, Cb, Cr );
3 对帧图像中各块的颜色分量平均值进行DCT 变换, 得到各分量的一系列DCT 系数;
4 对各分量的DCT 系数, 通过之字形扫描和量化, 取出各自DCT 变换的低频分量, 这三组低频分量共同构成该帧图像的颜色布局描述符。
颜色布局算法的实现位于ColorLayoutImpl类中，该类处于“net.semanticmetadata.lire.imageanalysis.mpeg7”包中，如图所示：
ColorLayoutImpl类的代码量很大，很多地方都还没有研究，在这里仅展示部分已经看过的代码：

下面介绍几个主要的函数：
提取：
1.extract(BufferedImage bimg)：提取特征向量的函数，里面调用了init()。
2.init()：初始化了 YCoeff，CbCoeff， CrCoeff。调用extract()（注意这个extract()是没有参数的）
3.extract()：完成了提取特征向量的过程，其中调用了createShape()。
4.createShape()：未研究。
获取/设置特征向量（注意：有参数为String和byte[]两种类型的特征向量，按照原代码里的说法，byte[]的效率要高一些）：
1.getStringRepresentation()：获取特征向量
2.setStringRepresentation()：设置特征向量
计算相似度：
getSimilarity(int[] YCoeff1, int[] CbCoeff1, int[] CrCoeff1, int[] YCoeff2, int[] CbCoeff2, int[] CrCoeff2)
主要的变量：
3个存储特征向量（Y,Cb,Cr）的数组：
public int[] YCoeff;
public int[] CbCoeff;
public int[] CrCoeff;
特征向量的大小：
protected int numCCoeff = 28, numYCoeff = 64;
