오늘날 멀티미디어 및 인터넷 서비스가 눈에 띄게 증가하면서 다양한 응용분야에서의 동영상 데이터 활용을 급증하였고 이에 사용자가 원하는 동영상 데이터를 빠르고 정확하게 검색하기 위한 내용기반 검색기법이 필수적이다. 본 논문은 high-level features와 더불어 동영상의 고유 내용 속성에 속하는 low-level features를 자동 일반화(generalization)하여 다단계 관리하고 features에 대한 가중치 적용질의를 제공함으로써 기존 내용기반 검색 연구와는 뚜렷한 차별성을 갖는다. 또한 low-level features와 high-level features간의 자동변환(translation)을 가능하게 함으로써 동영상 데이터베이스의 사용자 접근 효율을 한단계 높이고 보다 의미구조화된 동영상 관리 및 내용기반 검색을 지원한다.

본 논문에서는 MPEG-7 의 특징 기술자를 이용하고, 초기 중요도 가중치를 고려한 관심영역(ROI: Region-Of-Interest) 기반의 의료 영상 검색 시스템을 제안한다. 의료 영상에서 의미 없는 배경 부분을 제거하고, 영역 추출 처리 시간을 줄이는 관심 윈도우(AW: Attention Window)를 생성하여 관심 영역 세그먼테이션을 수행한다. 또한 인간 시각에 부합하는 검색 성능의 향상을 위해 특징 벡터 거리 계산에서 영역의 초기 가중치를 설정하였다. 실험에서 구현된 시스템은 의료 영상을 효과적으로 찾아내며, 조합된 특징과 가중치를 이용한 유사도 측정으로 검색 성능이 향상됨을 보여준다.

Presently, Multimedia data are increasing suddenly in broadcasting and internet fields. For retrieval of still images in multimedia database, content-based image retrieval system is implemented in this paper that user can retrieve similar objects from image database after choosing a wanted query region of object. As to extract color features from query image, we transform color to HSV with proposed method that similarity is obtained it through histogram intersection with database images after making histogram. Also, query image is transformed to gray image and induced to wavelet transformation by which spatial gray distribution and texture features are extracted using banded autocorrelogram and GLCM before having similarity values. And final similarity values is determined by adding two similarity values. In that, weight value is applied to each similarity value. We make up for defects by taking color image features but also gray image features from query image. Elevations of recall and precision are verified in experiment results.

Video data are retrieved and stored in various compressed forms according to their characteristics, In this paper, we present a generic data model that captures the structure of a video document and that provides a means for indexing a video stream, Using this model, we design and implement CVIMS (the MPEG-2 Compressed Video Information Management System) to store and retrieve video documents, CVIMS extracts I-frames from MPEG-2 files, selects key-frames from the I -frames, and stores in database the index information such as thumbnails, captions, and picture descriptors of the key-frames, And also, CVIMS retrieves MPEG- 2 video data using the thumbnails of key-frames and v31ious labels of queries.

In this paper, we have designed a region-based image retrieval system, FRIP(Finding Region In the Pictures). This system includes a robust image segmentation scheme using color and texture direction and retrieval scheme based on features of each region. For image segmentation, by using a circular filter, we can protect the boundary of round object and merge stripes or spots of objects into body region. It also combines scaled and shifted color coordinate and texture direction. After image segmentation, in order to improve the storage management effectively and reduce the computation time, we extract compact features from each region and store as index. For user interface, by the user specified constraints such as color-care / don't care. scale-care / dont care, shape-care / dont care and location-care / dont care, the overal/ matching score is estimated and the top Ie nearest images are reported in the ascending order of the final score.

Digital Video Library System which manages a large amount of multimedia information requires efficient and effective retrieval methods. In this paper, we propose and implement a new video search and retrieval algorithm that compares the query video shot with the video shots in the archives in terms of foreground object, background image, audio, and its context. The foreground object is the region of the video image that has been changed in the successive frames of the shot, the background image is the remaining region of the video image, and the context is the relationship between the low-level features of the adjacent shots. Comparing these features is a result of reflecting the process of filming a moving picture, and it helps the user to submit a query focused on the desired features of the target video clips easily by adjusting their weights in the comparing process. Although the proposed search and retrieval algorithm could not totally reflect the high level semantics of the submitted query video, it tries to reflect the users' requirements as much as possible by considering the context of video clips and by adjusting its weight in the comparing process.

Content-based image retrieval system retrieves an image from a database using visual features. Among approaches to express visual aspects in queries, 'query by sketch' is most convenient and expressive. However, every 'query by sketch' system has the query imperfectness problem. GContent-based image retrieval system retrieves an image from a database using visual features. Among approaches to express visual aspects in queries, 'query by sketch' is most convenient and expressive. However, every 'query by sketch' system has the query imperfectness problem. Generally, the query image produced by a user is different from the intended target image. To overcome this problem, many image retrieval systems use the spatial relationships of the objects, instead of pixel coordinates of the objects. In this paper, a query-converting algorithm for an image retrieval system, which uses the spatial relationship of every two objects as an image feature, is proposed. The proposed algorithm converts the query image into a graph that has the minimum number of edges, by eliminating every transitive edge. Since each edge in the graph represents the spatial relationship of two objects, the elimination of unnecessary edges makes the retrieval process more efficient. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm leads the smaller number of comparison in searching process as compared with other algorithms that do not guarantee the minimum number of edges.

MPEG-7은 XML을 이용하여 사용자가 원하는 내용을 검색하고 브라우징할 수 있도록 하는 멀티미디어 컨텐츠의 다양한 정보를 기술하고 있다. 그러나 많은 부분으로 나누어진 세부화된 장면들을 찾는 질의가 주어졌을때 원하는 정보를 찾기 위하여 모든 문서의 내용을 검색하는 것은 상당한 시간이 요구되며, 일반적인 XML 문서의 인덱싱 기법을 적용할 경우 MPEG-7의 관점에서 부합되지 않은 점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이를 개선하기 위하여 MPEG-7 문서의 구조적인 정보를 기반으로 하는 인덱싱 기법을 제안하고 질의를 하여 동영상내의 원하는 부분을 효율적으로 찾는 방법을 보인다.

효율적인 영상 검색 시스템을 구축하기 위하여 칼라, 형태, 질감등과 같은 특징을 추출하여 검색하는 방법들이 연구되어 지고 있다. 이 중 기존의 형태 정보를 이용한 방법은 적용 대상을 국한하여 연구되거나 특징 추출을 위한 계산의 복잡성에 비해 좋은 효과를 보이지 않고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하고 다양한 영상에 적용할 수 있는 특징을 추출하고자 통계적인 방법중의 하나인 히스토그램을 이용하고자 한다. 히스토그램을 이용한 방법은 계산이 용이할 뿐 아니라 검색 결과면에서도 높은 효율을 보이고 있다. 영상으로부터 추출한 선분을 각도에 따라 18개의 빈으로 양자화 하여 각 빈에 속한 선분들의 길이의 합을 이용하여 비교하는 각도 히스토그램(angular histogram), 그리고 선분들이 공간 분포에 대한 정보를 얻기 위하여 각도 히스토그램에서 각 빈에 속한 선분들의 대표 좌표들의 1차, 2차, 3차 모멘트를 구하여 사용하는 방법과 특정 각도를 가진 선분들 사이의 거리를 이용한 각도 Correlogram을 제안한다.

In this Paper, we propose a keyword spotting system as an alternative to searching system for poor quality Korean document images and compare the Proposed system with an OCR-based document retrieval system. The system is composed of character segmentation, feature extraction for the query keyword, and word-to-word matching. In the character segmentation step, we propose an effective method to remove the connectivity between adjacent characters and a character segmentation method by making the variance of character widths minimum. In the query creation step, feature vector for the query is constructed by a combination of a character model by typeface. In the matching step, word-to-word matching is applied base on a character-to-character matching. We demonstrated that the proposed keyword spotting system is more efficient than the OCR-based one to search a keyword on the Korean document images, especially when the quality of documents is quite poor and point size is small.
