It is important to retrieve effectively the visual media such as pictures and video in the internet, especially to the application areas such as electronic art museum, e-commerce, and internet shopping malls. It is also needed in these areas to have content-based or even semantic-based multimedia retrieval instead of simple keyword-based retrieval. In our earlier research, we proposed a semantic-based visual media retrieval framework for the effective retrieval of the visual media from the internet. It uses visual media metadata and ontology based on the web service to achieve the semantic-based retrieval. In this research, there are more than one visual media service providers and one central service broker. As a preliminary step to the visual media data retrieval, a method is proposed to retrieve the service providers effectively. The method uses the structure of the ontology tree to obtain the providers and their rankings. It also uses the size of sub nodes and child nodes in the tree. It measures the rankings of providers more effectively than previous method. The experimental results show the accuracy of the method while keeping compatible speed against the existing method.

The need for content-based retrieval from visual media, such as image and video data, is ever increasing rapidly in many applications, such as electronic art museums, internet shopping malls, internet search engines, and medical information systems. In our previous research, we proposed an architecture, called the HERMES, which is a Web Service-enabled visual media retrieval framework. In this paper, we propose the Web Service workflows that are employed in the HERMES. We describe how we designed the workflows for service registration and query processing in the framework. We especially explain how metadata and ontology can be utilized to realize more intelligent content-based retrieval on visual media data.

Information retrieval is one of the most challenging areas in which the ontology technology is effectively used. Among them image retrieval using the image meta data and ontology is the one that can substitute the keyword-based image retrieval. In the paper, the retrieval of visual media such as the art image and photo picture is handled. It is assumed that there are more than one service providers of the visual media and also there is one central service broker that mediates the user's query. Given the user's query the first step that must be done in the service broker is to get the list of candidate service providers that fit the query. This is done by defining various ontologies such as the service ontology and matching the query against the ontology and providers. A novel matching method based on the ASN.1. The experiment shows that the method is more effective than existing tree-based and interval-based methods. Ontology merging issue is also handled that can happen when the service providers register their service into the service broker. An effective method is also proposed.

With the rapid increase of Web Service sites, one emerging problem is how to find the most appropriate Services from the massive number of similar Web Services. A matchmaker is an agent system, which find the best Service providers for the given queries. In this paper, we propose a matchmaker for the distributed visual media retrieval framework, called HERMES, and describe how to rank the resulting Services based on the QoS elements related with visual media Services. To show the usefulness and correctness of the proposed schemes, some experimental results are also shown.

During recent years, a new framework, which aims to bring a unified and global approach in indexing, browsing and querying various digital multimedia data such as audio, video and image has been developed. This new system partitions each media stream into smaller units based on actual physical events. These physical events within oath media stream can then be effectively indexed for retrieval. In this paper, we present a new approach that exploits audio, image and video features to segment and analyze the audio-visual data. Integration of audio and visual analysis can overcome the weakness of previous approach that was based on the image or video analysis only. We Implement a web-based multi media data retrieval system called XCRAB and report on its experiment result.

Sharing of online videos via internet is an emerging and important concept in different types of applications like surveillance and video mobile search in different web related applications. So there is need to manage personalized web video retrieval system necessary to explore relevant videos and it helps to peoples who are searching for efficient video relates to specific big data content. To evaluate this process, attributes/features with reduction of dimensionality are computed from videos to explore discriminative aspects of scene in video based on shape, histogram, and texture, annotation of object, co-ordination, color and contour data. Dimensionality reduction is mainly depends on extraction of feature and selection of feature in multi labeled data retrieval from multimedia related data. Many of the researchers are implemented different techniques/approaches to reduce dimensionality based on visual features of video data. But all the techniques have disadvantages and advantages in reduction of dimensionality with advanced features in video retrieval. In this research, we present a Novel Intent based Dimension Reduction Semi-Supervised Learning Approach (NIDRSLA) that examine the reduction of dimensionality with explore exact and fast video retrieval based on different visual features. For dimensionality reduction, NIDRSLA learns the matrix of projection by increasing the dependence between enlarged data and projected space features. Proposed approach also addressed the aforementioned issue (i.e. Segmentation of video with frame selection using low level features and high level features) with efficient object annotation for video representation. Experiments performed on synthetic data set, it demonstrate the efficiency of proposed approach with traditional state-of-the-art video retrieval methodologies.

HERMES(tHE Retrieval framework for visual MEdia Service)는 웹 상에 존재하는 그림, 영상 등 시각미디어 검색을 위한 시스템이다. 복수의 서비스 제공자와 하나의 서비스 중계자가 있는 분산 환경에서, 사용자의 질의가 왔을 때 서비스 중계자는 적절한 서비스 제공자를 효율적으로 찾는 것이 매우 중요하다. 그래서 다양한 서비스 제공자가 존재하는 분산환경에서 서비스 제공자들간의 랭킹은 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 온톨로지를 사용하여 서비스 제공자들을 랭킹하는 방법을 제안하고 기존의 서비스 제공자 랭킹과 비교하여 본 논문에서 제안한 방법이 더욱 우수함을 보인다.

One of the inherent problems in constructing the sign language dictionary is how to make retrieval and comparison operations on the visual database of signs. This paper describes a retrieval method, especifically for Japanese signs. This method has a useful capability for flexible retrieval of the sign from a bilingual dictionary. Our method can retrieve similar signs to the given input. The retrieval mechanism is essentially based on similarity between the given verbal description and verbal descriptions in a retrieval database. The similarity measure of verbal descriptions can be considered as the approximations for the similarity of sign motion images. As a results of our experiment, the success ratio of the retrievals is 96% in averages.

In order to process video data effectively, we need to save its content on database and a content-based retrieval method which processes various queries of all users is required. In this paper, we present VRS(Video Retrieval System) which provides similarity query, SQBE(Scene Query By Example) query, and content-based retrieval by combining the feature-based retrieval and the annotation-based retrieval. The SQBE query makes it possible for a user to retrieve scones more exactly by inserting and deleting objects based on a retrieved scene. We proposed query language and query processing algorithm for SQBE query, and carried out performance evaluation on similarity retrieval. The proposed system is implemented with Visual C++ and Oracle.

To overcome the weakness of the image retrieval system using the existing Ontology and the distributed image based on the database having a simple structure, HERMES was suggested to ensure the self-control of various image suppliers and support the image retrieval based on semantic, the mentioned framework could not solve the problems which are not considered the deterioration in the capacity and scalability when many users connect to broker server simultaneously. In this paper the tables are written which in the case numerous users connect at the same time to the supply analogous level of services without the deterioration in the capacity installs Broker servers and then measures the performance time of each inner Broker Component through Monitoring System and saved and decides the ranking in saved data. As many Query performances are dispersed into several Servers User inputted from the users Interface with reference to Broker Ranking Table, Load Balancing system improving reliability in capacity is proposed. Through the experiment, the scheduling technique has proved that this schedule is faster than existing techniques.
