In this Paper, we propose a content-based music information retrieval (MIR) system base on the query-by-example (QBE) method. The proposed system is implemented to retrieve queried music from a dataset where 60 music samples were collected for each of the four genres in Classical, Hiphop. Jazz. and Reck. resulting in 240 music files in database. From each query music signal, the system extracts 60 dimensional feature vectors including spectral centroid. rolloff. flux base on STFT and also the LPC. MFCC and Beat information. and retrieves queried music from a trained database set using Euclidean distance measure. In order to choose optimum features from the 60 dimension feature vectors, SFS method is applied to draw 10 dimension optimum features and these are used for the Proposed system. From the experimental result. we can verify the superior performance of the proposed system that provides success rate of 84% in Hit Rate and 0.63 in MRR which means near 10% improvements over the previous methods. Additional experiments regarding system Performance to random query Patterns (or portions) and query lengths have been investigated and a serious instability problem of system Performance is Pointed out.

While various types of information can be mixed in a continuous video stream without any cleat boundary, the meaning of a video scene can be interpreted by multiple levels of abstraction, and its description can be varied among different users. Therefore, for the content-based retrieval in video data it is important for a user to be able to describe a scene flexibly while the description given by different users should be maintained consistently This paper proposes an effective way to represent the different types of video information in conventional database models such as the relational and object-oriented models. Flexibly defined attributes and their values are organized as tree-structured dictionaries while the description of video data is stored in a fixed database schema. We also introduce several browsing methods to assist a user. The dictionary browser simplifies the annotation process as well as the querying process of a user while the result browser can help a user analyze the results of a query in terms of various combinations of Query conditions.

This paper presents a 3-D graphic database system based on XML that supports content-based retrievals of 3-D images, Most of graphics application systems are currently centered around the processing of 2-D images and research works on 3-D graphics are mainly concerned about the visualization aspects of 3-D image. They do not support the semantic modeling of 3-D objects and their spatial relations. In our data model, 3-D images are represented as compositions of 3-D graphic objects with associated spatial relations. Complex 3-D objects are mode]ed using a set of primitive 3-D objects rather than the lines and polygons that are found in traditional graphic systems. This model supports content-based retrievals of scenes containing a particular object or those satisfying certain spatial relations among the objects contained in them. 3-D images are stored in the database as XML documents using 3DGML DTD that are developed for modeling 3-D graphic data. Finally, this paper describes some examples of query executed in our Web-based prototype database system.

A video summary abstracts the gist from an entire video and also enables efficient access to the desired content. In this paper, we propose a novel method for summarizing news video based on multimodal analysis of the content. The proposed method exploits the closed caption data to locate semantically meaningful highlights in a news video and speech signals in an audio stream to align the closed caption data with the video in a time-line. Then, the detected highlights are described using MPEG-7 Summarization Description Scheme, which allows efficient browsing of the content through such functionalities as multi-level abstracts and navigation guidance. Multimodal search and retrieval are also within the proposed framework. By indexing synchronized closed caption data, the video clips are searchable by inputting a text query. Intensive experiments with prototypical systems are presented to demonstrate the validity and reliability of the proposed method in real applications.

All academic information on the web or elsewhere has its creator, that is, a subject who has created the information. The subject can be an individual, a group, or an institution, and can be a nation depending on the nature of the relevant information. Most information is composed of a title, an author, and contents. An essay which is under the academic information category has metadata including a title, an author, keyword, abstract, data about publication, place of publication, ISSN, and the like. A patent has metadata including the title, an applicant, an inventor, an attorney, IPC, number of application, and claims of the invention. Most web-based academic information services enable users to search the information by processing the meta-information. An important element is to search information by using the author field which corresponds to a personal name. This study suggests a method of efficient indexing and using the adjacent operation result ranking algorithm to which phrase search-based boosting elements are applied, and thus improving the accuracy of the search results of personal names. It also describes a method for providing the results of searching co-authors and related researchers in searching personal names. This method can be effectively applied to providing accurate and additional search results in the academic information services.

This study is to desist and implement an efficient microbial medical image retrieval system based on knowledge and content of them which can make use of more accurate decision on colony as doll as efficient education for new techicians. For this. re first address overall inference to set up flexible search path using rule-base in order U redure time required original microbial identification by searching the fastest path of microbial identification phase based on heuristics knowledge. Next, we propose a color ffature gfraction mtU, which is able to extract color feature vectors of visual contents from a inn microbial image based on especially bacteria image using HSV color model. In addition, for better retrieval performance based on large microbial databases, we present an integrated indexing technique that combines with B+-tree for indexing simple attributes, inverted file structure for text medical keywords list, and scan-based filtering method for high dimensional color feature vectors. Finally. the implemented system shows the possibility to manage and retrieve the complex microbial images using knowledge and visual contents itself effectively. We expect to decrease rapidly Loaming time for elementary technicians by tell organizing knowledge of clinical fields through proposed system.

본 논문에서는 Quadtree 구조를 기반으로 한 효율적인 색상 정보 추출과 영상 검색을 수행하는 시스템을 구현한다. 제시한 시스템은 원 영상으로부터 DC영상을 추출하고, DC 영상의 화소들을 RGB에서 HSV의 색상 좌표계로 변환한다. 변환된 영상에서 색상의 분포에 따라 Quadtree 형태로 영역을 분할하고 대표 색상을 추출한다. 마지막으로 추출한 색상과 그 색상의 분포에 따라 Quadtree 형태로 영역을 분할하고 대표 색상을 추출한다. 마지막으로 추출한 색상과 그 색상의 분포값을 영역의 위치에 따라 Quadtree의 단말 노드에 저장한다. 그리고, 사용자가 질의 영상을 주었을 때 Quadtree에 저장된 정보를 이용하여 본 논문에서 제안한 유사도 측정을 통하여 결과 영상을 보여준다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방법으로 실험한 결과 64개의 영역으로 나눈 방법에 비해 비교하는 평균 영역의 개수는 28.9개였고, 검색시간은 2~6초 정도 감소하였다. 또한, 전체 영상의 색상 정보 저장량도 25% 정도 줄어들었지만 질의에 대한 두 방법의 검색 결과는 유사하게 나타났다.

In this paper, we propose new features for describing texture images by using multi-channel Gabor filter and log-polar transform based on human visual system (HVS). Gabor features are extracted by the mean and standard deviation of energy in Gabor response, followed by Fourier series extension. Log-polar features are extracted by log-polar transform and projection. The proposed texture descriptor performs reasonably well with less number of features than other texture descriptors, which has been verified by experiments using some texture images of MPEG-7 data set.

The content-based information retrieval for a multimedia database uses feature information extracted from the compressed videos. This paper presents an effective method to detect scene changes from compressed videos. Scene changes are detected with DC values of DCT coefficients in MPEG-1 encoded video sequences. Instead of decoding full frames. partial macroblocks of each frame, horizontal and vertical macroblocks, are decoded to detect scene changes. This method detects abrupt scene changes by decoding minimal number of blocks and saves a lot of computation time. The performance of the proposed algorithm is analyzed based on the precision and the recall. The experimental results show the effectiveness in computation time and detection rate to detect scene changes of various MPEG-1 video streams.
