Method for rapidly retrieving picture

Abstract

The invention discloses a rapid image retrieval method, relating to a method which retrieves and displays digital images; the method solves the problem of complicated retrieval input. The method of the invention comprises the following steps: the process of creating and storing the comparison table between an image name assembly and a simplified name alphabet on an image processing device; the process of storing images on a storage medium; the process of establishing an image file chain table on the image processing device based on the images stored on the storage medium; the process of creating a hash table of the image simplified names on the image processing device based on the alphabet of the comparison table and the image file chain table; and the process of retrieving the images on the storage medium by simplified names and displaying the thumbnails of the retrieval result on the image processing device through the hash table and the image file chain table. The method of the invention enables the operator to input the simplified names of the images during the retrieval process, so as to avoid the image names expressed in complicated vocabulary; therefore, the method requires small input amount and is simple to operate, which occupies small storage space and has fast speed in the middle process; the method is suitable for hand-held image browsing devices.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for searching and displaying digitized pictures. Background technique [0002] With the popularization of digital photography technology, people need to save the photos taken by digital cameras on computers or other storage media in the form of picture files in real life. For distinguishing each picture from numerous picture files, people must set a picture name for the picture file of each picture. The picture management and retrieval software saves the picture name of each picture and the address of the picture file stored on the storage medium. In order to facilitate the classification, management and use of pictures, the picture name usually consists of words or letters in the language and characters that people are accustomed to using and a suffix sequence number. Take the picture names of simplified Chinese characters in Chinese as an example: when it is necessary to search for a certain picture or a certain gr...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Usually using a keyboard to input a Chinese character needs to hit 3 to 4 keys, so the operation of inputting the picture name is complicated and time-consuming

And because the vocabulary of each language is very large, the tree database structure for saving picture files according to the picture name is very complicated, and a large amount of memory space is required in the process of retrieval operation

Also take simplified Chinese characters in Chinese as an example, simplified Chinese characters together with polyphonic characters in them have about 7,000 vocabularies, and the tree-type storage and retrieval structure of each picture file that processes the picture names combined by these 7,000 vocabularies and numbers also Very complicated, the retrieval operation is not only slow but also requires a lot of memory space
