In modern society, creation and distribution of multimedia contents is being actively conducted. These multimedia information have come out the enormous amount daily, the amount of data is also large enough it can't be compared with past text information. Since it has been increased for a need of the method to efficiently store multimedia information and to easily search the information, various methods associated therewith have been actively studied. In particular, image search methods for finding what you want from the video database or multiple sequential images, have attracted attention as a new field of image processing. Image retrieval method to be implemented in this paper, utilizes the attribute of corner patches based on the corner points of the object, for providing a new method of efficient and robust image search. After detecting the edge of the object within the image, the straight lines using a Hough transformation is extracted. A corner patches is formed by defining the extracted intersection of the straight line as a corner point. After configuring the feature vectors with patches rearranged, the similarity between images in the database is measured. Finally, for an accurate comparison between the proposed algorithm and existing algorithms, the recall precision rate, which has been widely used in content-based image retrieval was used to measure the performance evaluation. For the image used in the experiment, it was confirmed that the image is detected more accurately in the proposed method than the conventional image retrieval methods.

In this paper, we design and implement a XML Repository System(XRS) that exploits the advantages of DBMSs and IRSs. Our scheme uses BRS to support full text indexing and content-based queries efficiently, and ORACLE to store XML documents, multimedia data, DTD and structure information. We design databases to manage XML documents including audio, video, images as well as text. We employ the non-composition model when storing XML documents into ORACLE. We represent structured information as ETID(Element Type Id), SORD(Sibling ORDer) and SSORD(Same Sibling ORDer). ETID is a unique value assigned to each element of DTD. SORD and SSORD represent an order information between sibling nodes and an order information among the sibling nodes with the same element respectively. In order to show superiority of our XRS, we perform various experiments in terms of the document loading time, document extracting time and contents retrieval time. It is shown through experiments that our XRS outperforms the existing XML document management systems. We also show that it supports various types of queries through performance experiments.

Multimedia systems present information by various media, for example, video, sound, music, animation, movie, etc., in addition to the text which has long been used for conveying the information. But using several media may cause users' confusion and poorly designed user interface often aggravate the situation. Hypermedia systems allow the retrieval and representation of multimedia information using navigation and browsing mechanisms. Typically, there are two major navigation problems in a hypermedia compared to the ordinary user interface: disorientation and cognitive overload. In this study, the multimedia system was studied from the viewpoint of usability. Practical usability evaluation needs cost-effective, low-skill, and low- investment methods. The 'discount usability engineering' method, one of these methods, is based on the use of the following techniques: scenarios, simplified thinking aloud, and heuristic evaluation. The discount usability engineering method was applied to the usability evaluation of multimedia CD-ROM title.

Currently for the development of internet and network technology, since request of service for the large volume multimedia data has been more increased, multimedia users want the convenience and accuracy of multimedia service system about storing and retrieving of the multimedia contents. To satisfy the request of users, metadata management for the diverse information of multimedia contents is very important. However, the metadata management for the multimedia contents is difficult because the metadata standards are different each other for the type of multimedia data and service. In this paper, we propose the integration metadata management system structure which extends previous metadata management system based on text for the multimedia contents metadata which are expressed differently each other according to the multimedia data or service type.

Large-scale distributed applications based on Internet and client/server applications have to deal with series of problems such as load balancing, unpredictable communication delays, partial errors, and networking failures. Therefore, sophisticated applications such as teleconferencing, video-on-demand, and concurrent software engineering require an abstracted communication. In this paper, we present our design, implementation and performance analysis of group communication using the CORBA ORB, JAVA RMI, Socket based on distributed computing. We anticipate our study may apply to the various field of applications such as fault-tolerant client/server system, groupware, scalable text retrieval system, and financial information systems.

There are many technically difficult issues in searching multimedia data such as image, video and audio because they are massive and more complex than simple text-based data. As a method of searching multimedia data, a similarity retrieval has been studied to retrieve automatically basic features of multimedia data and to make a search among data with retrieved features because exact match is not adaptable to a matrix of features of multimedia. In this paper, data clustering and its indexing are proposed as a speedy similarity-retrieval method of multimedia data. This approach clusters similar images on adjacent disk cylinders and then builds Indexes to access the clusters. To minimize the search cost, the hashing is adapted to index cluster. In addition, to reduce I/O time, the proposed searching takes just one I/O to look up the location of the cluster containing similar object and one sequential file I/O to read in this cluster. The proposed schema solves the problem of multi-dimension by using clustering and its indexing and has higher search efficiency than the content-based image retrieval that uses only clustering or indexing structure.

With recent progress of related multimedia computing technologies, it is necessay to retrieve diverse types of multimedia data based on multi-media content and their relationships. However, different from alphanumeric data, it is difficult to provide relevant multimedia information, be-cause multimedia contents and their relationships are implied in multimedia data. Therefore, in case of a multimedia news service system that is a representative multimedia application, most of new services provide relevant news about text articles and retrieval of multimedia news such as video news or image news are provided independently. In this paper, we present an XML-based multimedia news management system, which provides integrating, retrieval, and delivery of relevant multimedia news. Our data model composed of media object, relationship object, and view object represents diverse types of multimedia news content and semantically related multimedia news. In addition, a proposed view mechanism makes it possible to customize multimedia news, and therefore provides multimedia news efficiently.
