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:

从接口的源代码可以看出,提供了两个方法,名字都叫createDocument(),只是参数不一样,一个是从BufferedImage,另一个是从InputStream。
此外,定义了很多的字符串。
AbstractDocumentBuilder

从抽象类的定义可以看出,只有一个createDocument(InputStream image, String identifier),里面调用了createDocument(BufferedImage image, String identifier)。
其实说白了,就是把接口的那两个函数合成了一个函数。
DocumentBuilderFactory

DocumentBuilderFactory是用于创建DocumentBuilder的。里面有各种get****DocumentBuilder()。其中以下2种是几个DocumentBuilder的合集:
getExtensiveDocumentBuilder():使用MPEG-7中的ColorLayout,EdgeHistogram,ScalableColor
getFullDocumentBuilder():使用所有的DocumentBuilder
