The main purpose of this paper is to explain and analyze visual descriptors of MPEG-7 for representing multimedia content. This study describes MPEG-7 visual descriptors that are made of color, shape, texture, and motion using some examples and application areas in detail. As a result, those visual descriptors can represent the rich and deep features in multimedia contents domain. Also, the use of those descriptors will increase the retrieval effectiveness as well as the interoperability among systems through the consistency of the content representation.

The requirement of Digital Culture Content(Movie, Music, Animation, Digital TV, Exhibition and etc.) is increasing so variety and quantity of content is also increasing. The Movie what majority of the digital Content is developing of technology and data. In the result, the efficient retrieval service has required and user want to use a recommendation engine and semantic retrieval methods through the recommendation system. Therefore, this paper will suggest analysing trait element of digital content data, building of retrieval technology, analysing and retrieval technology base on KANSEI vocabulary and etc. For the these, we made a extraction technology of trait element based on semantics and KANSEI processing algorithm based on color information.

This paper suggests the condensed two-stage retrieval method for fast image retrieval in the content-based image retrieval system, and proves the validity of the performance. The condensed two-stage retrieval method reduces the overall response time remarkably while it maintains relevance with the conventional exhaustive search method. It is explained by properties of the Cauchy-Schwartz inequality. In experimental result, it turns out that there is an optimal value of condensation ratio which minimizes the overall response time. We analyze the optimal condensation ratio by modeling a similarity computation time mathematically.

It will be possible to prevent the infringement of the trademarks and the insueing disputes regarding the originality of the trademarks by using an efficient content-based trademark image retrieval system. In this paper, we describe a content-based image retrieval system using the Self Organizing Map(SOM) algorithm. The SOM algorithm utilizes the visual features, which were derived from the gray histogram representation of the images. In addition, we made the objective effectiveness evaluation possible by coming up with a quantitative measure to gauge the effectiveness of the content-based image retrieval system.

A content-based image retrieval(CBIR) system builds the image database using low-level features such as color, shape and texture and provides similar images that user wants to retrieve when the retrieval request occurs. What the user is interest in is a response time in consideration of the building time to build the index database and the response time to obtain the retrieval results from the query image. In a content-based image retrieval system, the similarity computing time comparing a query with images in database takes the most time in whole response time. In this paper, we propose the two-phase search method with the clustering technique of feature vector in order to minimize the similarity computing time. Experimental results show that this two-phase search method is 2-times faster than the conventional full-search method using original features of ail images in image database, while maintaining the same retrieval relevance as the conventional full-search method. And the proposed method is more effective as the number of images increases.

In content-based image retrieval, the query is an image itself and the retrieval process is the process that seeking the similar images to the given query image. In this way of retrieval, the user has to know the basic physical features of target images that he wants to retrieve. But it has some restriction because to retrieve the target image he has to know the basic physical feature space such as color, texture, shape and spatial relationship. In this paper, we propose an emotion-based retrieval system. It uses the emotion that color images have. It is different from past emotion-based image retrieval in point of view that it uses relevance feedback to estimate the users intend and it is easily combined with past content-based image retrieval system. To test the performance of our proposed system, we use MPEG-7 color descriptor and emotion language such as "warm", "clean", "bright" and "delight" We test about 1500 wallpaper images and get successful result.lpaper images and get successful result.

The content-based image retrieval system extracts features of color, shape and texture from raw images, and builds the database with those features in the indexing process. The search in the whole retrieval system is defined as a process which finds images that have large similarity to query image using the feature database. This paper proposes a new two-stage search method in the content-based image retrieval system. The method is that the features are condensed and stored by the property of Cauchy-Schwartz inequality in order to reduce the similarity computation time which takes a mostly response time from entering a query to getting retrieval results. By the extensive computer simulations, we have observed that the proposed two-stage search method successfully reduces the similarity computation time while maintaining the same retrieval relevance as the conventional exhaustive search method. We also have observed that the method is more effective as the number of images and dimensions of the feature space increase.

A moving object has a various features that its spatial location, shape, and size are changed as time goes. In addition, the moving object has both temporal feature and spatial feature. It is one of the highly interested feature information in video data. In this paper, we propose an efficient content-based multimedia information retrieval system, so tailed ECoMOT which enables user to retrieve video data by using a trajectory information of moving objects in video data. The ECoMOT includes several novel techniques to achieve content-based retrieval using moving objects' trajectories : (1) Muitiple trajectory modeling technique to model the multiple trajectories composed of several moving objects; (2) Multiple similar trajectory retrieval technique to retrieve more similar trajectories by measuring similarity between a given two trajectories composed of several moving objects; (3) Superimposed signature-based trajectory indexing technique to effectively search corresponding trajectories from a large trajectory databases; (4) convenient trajectory extraction, query generation, and retrieval interface based on graphic user interface

Moving objects' trajectories play an important role in indexing video data on their content and semantics for content-based video retrieval. In this paper, we propose new similar sub-trajectory retrieval schemes based on k-warping algorithm for efficient retrieval on moving objects' trajectories in video data. The proposed schemes are fixed-replication similar sub-trajectory retrieval(FRSR) and variable-replication similar sub-trajectory retrieval(VRSR). The former can replicate motions with a fixed number for all motions being composed of the trajectory. The latter can replicate motions with a variable number. Our schemes support multiple properties including direction, distance, and time interval as well as a single property of direction, which is mainly used for modeling moving objects' trajectories. Finally, we show from our experiment that our schemes outperform Li's scheme(no-warping) and Shan's scheme(infinite-warping) in terns of precision and recall measures.

Variable contents are extracted and used to improve the correctness of the retrieval in the content-based in age retrieval. This way use the physical feature for the retrieval. In this way of retrieval, the user has to know the basic physical features and spatial relationship of target images that he wants to retrieve. There are some restriction to reflect the user's intend. We need the retrieval system that reflect the user's intend. In this paper, we propose an emotion-based retrieval system. It is different from past emotion based image retrieval in point of view that it uses relevance feedback to estimate the users intend and it is easily combined with past content-based image retrieval system. The features and similarity measures are adopted from MPEG-7 color descriptors which are proper retrieval of large multimedia databases. We use wallpaper images for the experiment. The result shows that the system get successful result.
