Recently, issues on the internet searching of image information through various multimedia databases have drawn an tremendous attention and several researches on image information retrieval methods are on progress. By incorporating wavelet transform and correlation matrixes, we propose a novel and highly efficient feature vector extraction algorithm that has an capability of a robust similarity matching. The simulation results have yielded a faster and highly accurate candidate image retrieval performance in comparison to those of the conventional algorithms. Such an improved performance can be obtained because the used feature vectors were compressed to 256：1 while the correlation matrixes are incorporated to provide a fuel information for the better matching.

In order to process video data effectively, it is required that the content information of video data is loaded in database and semantic- based retrieval method can be available for various query of users. Currently existent contents-based video retrieval systems search by single method such as annotation-based or feature-based retrieval, and show low search efficiency and requires many efforts of system administrator or annotator form less perfect automatic processing. In this paper, we propose semantic-based video retrieval system which support semantic retrieval of various users by feature-based retrieval and annotation-based retrieval of massive video data. By user's fundamental query and selection of image for key frame that extracted from query, the automatic indexing agent gives the detail shape for annotation of extracted key frame. Also, key frame selected by user become query image and searches the most similar key frame through feature based retrieval method that propose. Therefore, we propose the system that can heighten retrieval efficiency of video data through semantic-based retrieval.

최근에는 텍스트기반 검색 기법의 단점들을 극복하기 위하여 멀티미디어 데이터에서 내용으로 표현되는 특징데이터(Feature data)를 자동으로 추출하여 이를 기반으로 검색을 하는 내용기반 검색기법(Content- Based Retrieval Technique)에 대한 연구가 활발하다. 그러나 내용기반 검색 시스템에서 데이터 수가 무한히 많아질 경우, 찾고자 하는 이미지를 검색하는데 정확성과 시간면에서 효율성이 떨어진다. 따라서 방대한 이미지 데이터를 보다효과적으로 검색하고 저장하기 위해서는 유사성이 높은 이미지들을 서로 묶어 그룹화하고 그룹별 특징을 분석하여 인덱스화 함이 필요하다. 이에 본 논문에서는 그룹화를 위해 각각의 이미지 객체에 대하여 웨이브릿변환 (Wavelet Transform) 기법과 질감 특징( Texture Feature) 값 추출을 통해 그룹간에 가지는 특징값을 분석 비교하였다.

This paper proposes a method of player event retrieval using combination of two functions: detection of player name in speech information and detection of sound event from audio information in golf videos. The system consists of indexing module and retrieval module. At the indexing time audio segmentation and noise reduction are applied to audio stream demultiplexed from the golf videos. The noise-reduced speech is then fed into speech recognizer, which outputs spoken descriptors. The player name and sound event are indexed by the spoken descriptors. At search time, text query is converted into phoneme sequences. The lists of each query term are retrieved through a description matcher to identify full and partial phrase hits. For the retrieval of the player name, this paper compares the results of word-based, phoneme-based, and hybrid approach.

In this paper, we propose a design of the metadata engine of the video recording system to minimize the retrieval time. For this purpose, the proposed metadata engine stores the XML metadata as a separated fragment and construct a hierarchical indexing scheme based on the contextual and structural properties of metadata. The hierarchical indexing scheme is consisted of a node index for basic searching and a group index for advanced searching. In this way our approach can minimize the number of indexes and thus the retrieval time. Our simulation results show that the response time of our proposed system is shorter than that of the previous works.

In this paper, we implemented a content-based image retrieval system that user can choose a wanted query region of object and retrieve similar object from image database. Query image is induced to wavelet transformation after divided into hue components and gray components that hue features is extracted through color autocorrelogram and dispersion in hue components. Texture feature is extracted through autocorrelogram and GLCM in gray components also. Using features of two components, retrieval is processed to compare each similarity with database image. In here, weight value is applied to each similarity value. We make up for each defect by deriving features from two components beside one that elevations of recall and precision are verified in experiment results. Moreover, retrieval efficiency is improved by weight value. And various features of database images are indexed automatically in feature library that make possible to rapid image retrieval.

This paper presents an efficient and automatic color and motion feature extraction algorithm for content-based MPEG-l video retrieval. Based on the proposed method. a video retrieval system is implemented. For color feature. the proposed algorithm considers dynamic color iRformation in video data, and thereby can overcome the limits of the previous key-frame based method. For motion feature, we utilize the motion vector in MPEG-l video with color information. and extract the color-motion feature. The proposed algorithm can solve the weakness of the previous location based motion feature method. Finally. the proposed method is evaluated within the implemented video retrieval system.

As a result of remarkable developments in computer technology, the image retrieval system that can efficiently retrieve image data becomes a core technology of information-oriented society. In this paper, we implemented the Hierarchical Image Retrieval System for content-based image data retrieval. At the first level, to get color information, with improving the indexing method using color distribution characteristic suggested by Striker et al., i.e. the indexing method considering local color distribution characteristics, the system roughly classifies images through the improved method. At the second level, the system finally retrieves the most similar image from the image queried by the user using the shape information about the image groups classified at the first level. To extract the shape information, we use the Improved Moment Invariants(IMI) that manipulates only the pixels on the edges of objects in order to overcome two main problems of the existing Moment Invariant methods large amount of processing and rotation sensitiveness which can frequently be seen in the Directive Histogram Intersection technique suggested by Jain et al. Experiments have been conducted on 300 automobile images And we could obtain the more improved results through the comparative test with other methods.

내용 기반 영상 검색은 일반적으로 질의 영상을 사용해서 검색한다. 대부분의 사용자는 검색 당시에 자신이 생각하는 질의와 일치하는 영상을 실제로 갖고 있지 않다. 사용자는 검색기가 제공하는 샘플이나 자신이 갖고 있는 영상 중에서 검색하고자 하는 개념과 비슷한 영상을 질의 영상으로 사용한다. 그러나, 이 질의 영상은 사용자가 생각하는 개념을 충분히 반영하지 못하는 경우가 대부분이다. 따라서 사용자는 자신이 원하는 결과를 얻기 위해서 검색을 여러 번 하게 된다. 이는 최초 검색에서 적절한 질의 영상을 사용하지 못하고 있기 때문이다. 검색 시스템의 검색엔진도 중요하지만, 적절한 질의의 사용 여부에 의해 검색 결과가 크게 좌우된다. 적절한 질의 사용의 중요성은 기존의 텍스트 기반 검색에서 이미 알려진 사실이다. 영상 검색에서도 효과 적인 검색을 위해서는 사용자가 생각하는 질의 영상을 구체화하여 질의로 사용하는 기술이 필요하다. 이러한 관점에서, 사용자가 검색하고자 하는 추상적인 개념을 구체화하여 질의 영상으로 사용한다면 검색 성능을 높일 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 사용자가 생각하고 있는 추상적인 질의를 구체화하기 위해 스케치 인터페이스를 개발하였다. 스케치 인터페이스를 통해서 사용자가 생각한 질의를 구체화하여 이를 검색에 활용함으로서 전체 검색 회수를 줄임으로서 보다 빠른 시간에 효과적으로 검색을 수행할 수 있었다.

칼라 히스토그램의 단점을 보완할 수 있는 CCV(Color Coherence Vector) 방법이 소개되었다. CCV는 구현이 쉽고, 칼라 히스토그램과 달리 같은 색상 분포를 가지는 다른 영상을 구별하는 것이 가능하다. 그러나, CCV는 계산량이 많아 많은 처리 시간이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 효율적인 계산을 위하여 N$\times$M-grams과 계층적인 검색 방법을 이용하여 처리 시간을 줄이는 검색 방법을 제시한다. 먼저, 영상의 구조적 특징을 잘 반영하는 N$\times$M-grams를 사용하여 주어진 질의 영상과 같은 부류(category)에 속하는 모든 영상들을 찾는다. 그리고, 찾은 영상들만을 대상으로 CCV를 계산하여 검색한다. 200개의 영상을 가지고 실험한 결과, 검색율은 약 79%이고, CCV만을 사용한 방법보다 시간이 약 37% 감소하였다.
