Abstract
In order to perform an interactive data-mining for huge image databases efficiently, a visualization interface based on Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is proposed. The proposed interface system provides an intuitive lattice structure enabling users freely and easily to select FCA attributes and to view different aspects of the Hasse diagram of the lattice of a given image database. The investigation environment is implemented using C++ and the OpenCV library on a personal computer (CPU = 2.13 GHz, MM = 2 GB). In visualization experiments using 1,000 Corel Image Gallery images, we test image features such as color, edge, and face detectors as FCA attributes. Experimental analysis confirms the effectiveness of the proposed interface and its potential as an efficient datamining tool.
