Abstract
We introduce a new focus for data mining, which is concerned
with knowledge discovery in image databases. We expect all
aspects of data mining to be relevant to image mining but in
this first work we concentrate on the problem of finding
associations. To that end, we present a data mining algorithm
to find association rules in 2-dimensional color images. The
algorithm has four major steps: feature extraction, object
identification, auxiliary image creation and object mining.
Our algorithm is general in that it does not rely on any type
of domain knowledge. A synthetic image set containing
geometric shapes was generated to test our initial algorithm
implementation. Our experimental results show that image
mining is feasible. We also suggest several directions for
future work in this area.
