Various documents, images, videos and other materials on the web has been increasing rapidly. Efficient search of those things has become an important topic. From keyword-based search, internet search has been transformed to semantic search which finds the implications and the relations between data elements. Many annotation processing systems manipulating the metadata for semantic search have been proposed. However, annotation data generated by different methods and forms are difficult to process integrated search between those systems. In this study, in order to resolve this problem, we categorized levels of many annotation documents, and we proposed the method to measure the similarity between the annotation documents. Similarity measure between annotation documents can be used for searching similar or related documents, images, and videos regardless of the forms of the source data.

기존의 개념 기반 이미지 검색에서는 이미지의 의미적 내용 인식을 위해 일반적으로 어휘적 정보나 텍스트 정보를 이용했다. 이러한 텍스트 정보 기반 이미지 검색은 전통적인 검색 방법인 키워드 검색 기술을 그대로 사용하여 쉽게 구현할 수 있으나 텍스트의 개념적 매칭이 아닌 스트링 매칭이므로 주석처리된 단어와 정확한 매칭이 없다면 찾을 수가 없었다. 이에 본 논문에서는 ontology의 일종인 WordNet을 이용하여 깊이 정보량 링크 타입, 밀도 등을 고려한 개념간 유사성 측정으로 패턴 매칭의 문제를 해결하고자 했다. 또한 키워드로 주석처리 되어 있는 Microsofts Design Gallery Live의 이미지를 이용하여 개념간 유사성 측정법을 실질적으로 개념 기반 이미지 검색에 적용해 보았다.

Image retrieval system should be construct for searching fast, efficient image be extract the accurate feature information of image with more massive and more complex characteristics. Image retrieval system are essential differences between image databases and traditional databases. These differences lead to interesting new issues in searching of image, data modeling. So, cause us to consider new generation method of database, efficient retrieval method of image. In this paper, To extract feature information of edge using in searching from input image, we was performed to extract the edge by convolution Laplacian mask and input image, and we implemented the annotation-based and content-based image retrieval system for searching fast, efficient image by generation image database from extracting feature information of edge and metadata. We can improve the performance of the image contents retrieval, because the annotation-based and content-based image retrieval system is using image index which is made up of the content-based edge feature extract information represented in the low level of image and annotation-based edge feature information represented in the high level of image. As a conclusion, image retrieval system proposed in this paper is possible the accurate management of the accumulated information for the image contents and the information sharing and reuse of image because the proposed method do construct the image database by metadata.

인터넷 환경의 급속한 성장과 더불어 기존의 텍스트 정보들이 다양한 형태의 멀티미디어 정보(소리, 이미지, 동영상 등)로 대체되었다. 이로 인해 멀티미디어 정보검색의 필요성이 대두되기 시작했다. 멀티미디어 정보검색 중 이미지검색은 크게 주석기반과 특징기반 (color, shape, texture 등) 검색으로 나눌 수 있다. 본 고는 이미지 검색 중 전처리에 해당하는 색상어 질의처리의 한 방법을 제안한다. 즉, 사용자에게 익숙한 자연어 질의로부터 이미지의 특징에 해당하는 색상 정보와 주석에 해당하는 키워드 정보를 중심어 후위원칙기반으로 파싱트리를 구성한 후, 후위순회방식에 의해 불리언 검색을 수행하는 방법을 제안한다.

As multimedia information recently increases fast, various types of retrieval of multimedia data are becoming issues of great importance. For the efficient multimedia data processing, semantics based retrieval techniques are required that can extract the meaning contents of multimedia data. Existing retrieval methods of multimedia data are annotation-based retrieval, feature-based retrieval and annotation and feature integration based retrieval. These systems take annotator a lot of efforts and time and we should perform complicated calculation for feature extraction. In addition. created data have shortcomings that we should go through static search that do not change. Also, user-friendly and semantic searching techniques are not supported. This paper proposes to develop S-MARS(Semantic Metadata-based Multimedia Annotation and Retrieval System) which can represent and extract multimedia data efficiently using MPEG-7. The system provides a graphical user interface for annotating, searching, and browsing multimedia data. It is implemented on the basis of the semantic metadata model to represent multimedia information. The semantic metadata about multimedia data is organized on the basis of multimedia description schema using XML schema that basically comply with the MPEG-7 standard. In conclusion. the proposed scheme can be easily implemented on any multimedia platforms supporting XML technology. It can be utilized to enable efficient semantic metadata sharing between systems, and it will contribute to improving the retrieval correctness and the user's satisfaction on embedding based multimedia retrieval algorithm method.

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. In this paper, we propose semantic-based video retrieval system for Environment Education Contents 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 form query, the 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. From experiment, the designed and implemented system showed high precision ratio in performance assessment more than 90 percents.

In this paper, we present the HVIS (Hybrid Video Information System) which bolsters up meaning retrieval of all the various users by integrating feature-based retrieval and annotation-based retrieval of unformatted formed and massive video data. HVIS divides a set of video into video document, sequence, scene and object to model the metadata and suggests the Two layered Hybrid Object-oriented Metadata Model(THOMM) which is composed of raw-data layer for physical video stream, metadata layer to support annotation-based retrieval, content-based retrieval, and similarity retrieval. Grounded on this model, we presents the video query language which make the annotation-based query, content-based query and similar query possible and Video Query Processor to process the query and query processing algorithm. Specially, We present the similarity expression to appear degree of similarity which considers interesting of user. The proposed system is implemented with Visual C++, ActiveX and ORACLE.

최근, 디지털 카메라와 디지털 캠코더처럼 디지털 장비가 대중화됨에 따라, 이미지 데이터가 급증하게 되었다. 이와 함께, 이미지 검색에 대한 요구도 증가하게 되었으며, 단순한 텍스트 검색이 아닌 이미지의 특징에 기반한 검색이 요구되고 있다. 특징 기반의 검색은 색상, 질감, 모양 등과 같은 특성에 기반한 검색으로 사람이 일일이 주석을 입력하는 방식보다 자동화가 가능하며, 빠르게 인덱싱할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 모양을 이용하여 이미지를 인덱싱 하였으며, 스케치된 식물의 잎 모양의 이미지를 이용 하였다. 또한, 식물의 잎에 뻗어있는 잎맥의 모양을 이용하여 검색의 정확도를 높였다.

의미 기반 영상 검색은 Color, Texture, Region 정보, Spatial Color Distribution등의 저차원 특징 정보와 이미지 데이터에 의미를 부여하기 위해 주서 처리하는 것이 일반적이다. 그리고 부여된 키워드나 시소러스와 같은 어휘 사전을 이용하여 의미기반 정보검색을 수행하고 있지만, 기존의 키워드기반 텍스트 정보검색의 한계를 벗어나지 못하는 문제를 야기 시킨다. 이에 본 논문에서는 시각 데이터에 존재하는 객체들과 그 객체 사이의 개념관계를 Ontology의 한 형태인 WordNet을 이용하여 의미 정보로 표현할 수 있도록 한다. 이를 활용하면 영상 데이터의 자동 주석 시스템이나 검색 시스템에서 인간이 인식하는 개념적인 사고방식에 더욱 접근할 수 있는 결과물을 얻을 수 있을 것이다.

Semantic interpretation of image is incomplete without some mechanism for understanding semantic content that is not directly visible. For this reason, human assisted content-annotation through natural language is an attachment of textual description to image. However, keyword-based retrieval is in the level of syntactic pattern matching. In other words, dissimilarity computation among terms is usually done by using string matching not concept matching. In this paper, we propose a method for computerized semantic similarity calculation In WordNet space. We consider the edge, depth, link type and density as well as existence of common ancestors. Also, we have introduced method that applied similarity measurement on semantic image retrieval. To combine wi#h the low level features, we use the spatial color distribution model. When tested on a image set of Microsoft's 'Design Gallery Line', proposed method outperforms other approach.
