In this paper, we propose a content-based video indexing and retrieval system using MPEG-7 standard to retrieve and manage videos efficiently. The proposed system consists of video indexing module for a video DB and video retrieval module to allow various query methods on a web environment. Video indexing module stores metadata such as manually typed in keywords, automatically recognized character names, and MPEG-7 visual descriptors extracted by indexing module into a DB in a sever side. A user can access to retrieval module by a web and retrieve desired videos through various query methods like keywords, faces, example and sketch. For this retrieval system, we propose ATC(Adaptive Twin Comparison) as a cut detection method for efficient video indexing and QBME(Query By Modified Example) as an improved content-based query method for the convenience of users. Experimental results show that the proposed ATC method detects cuts well and the proposed QBME method provides the conveniences better than existing query methods such as QBE(Query By Example) and QBS(Query By Sketch).

디지털 콘텐츠의 증가에 따라 이들의 효율적인 검색과 관리를 위하여 내용 기반 검색에 관한 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 이러만 내용 기반 검색의 질의 방법으로는 유사한 영상을 질의의 사용하는 QBE(Query By Example)와 영상을 사용자가 직접 스케치하여 질의에 사용하는 QBS(Query By Sketch)가 대표적이다. 본 논문서는 질의로 용할 정확한 영상이 필요한 QBE 방법의 제약과 질의할 영상 전체를 처음부터 스케치해야 하는 QBS 방법의 문제점을 보완하는 개선된 질의 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 입력 영상을 단순화하여 스케치의 근간이 되는 밑그림을 제공하고 사용자치 수정 과정을 거쳐 질의하는 방법으로 정확한 검색 결과와 검색 시 소요되는 시간과 노력을 절감할 수 있는 장점이 있다.

This paper presents an effective and robust leaf image retrieval system based on shape feature. Specifically, we propose an improved MPP algorithm for more effective representation of leaf images and show a new dynamic matching algorithm that basically revises the Nearest Neighbor search to reduce the matching time. In particular, both leaf shape and leaf arrangement can be sketched in the query for better accuracy and efficiency. In the experiment, we compare our proposed method with other methods including Centroid Contour Distance(CCD), Fourier Descriptor, Curvature Scale Space Descriptor(CSSD), Moment Invariants, and MPP. Experimental results on one thousand leaf images show that our approach achieves a better performance than other methods.

With the rapidly Slowing information, the research on the effcient information retrieval is increasing. Most of the retrieval systems for domestic cultural assets on the web have adopted a keyword-based search method. Those systems have required users to know the exact information about cultural assets such as name, keyword, etc. However, it is not easy to search the cultural assets with little information or only a remembrance of the shape. In this paper, we propose the retrieval system for cultural assets using both ontology-based and sketch-based search method to solve the Problems of existing systems. Our retrieval system allows users to use both text and sketch for a Query regardless of the type of information about cultural assets and to search in results using the ontology.
