Conventional database retrieval system have problems of being able to select data out of database only if the data exactly equal to retrieval conditions offered by users. If there are no data in database which exactly equal to users retrieval conditionals, the system can not provide adequate data. To solve these problems, cluster increase of FCM and re-initialization of algorithm were suggested in this study. And by interlocking knowledge-based database, built with FCM, to image database, new retrieval system was built to provide the data which are most appropriate for the requirement of users. We applied this new retrieval system to gift selection database system in pamphlet of mail order, and confirmed its effectiveness.

Such information services source like digital library has been asked information services of atypical multimedia database like image, voice, VOD/AOD. Examined in this study are suggestions such as word-phrase generator, syllable recoverer, morphological analyzer, corrector for voice processing. Suggested voice processing technique transform voice database into tort database, then extract index database from text database. On top of this, the study suggest a information retrieval model to use in extracted index database, voice full-text information retrieval.

In this paper we propose an expert system for content-based image retrieval with object database. The proposed system finds keyword by using knowledge-base and feature of extracted object, and retrieves image by using keyword based image retrieval method. The system can decrease error of image retrieval and save running time. The system also checks whether similar objects exist or not. If not, user can store information of object in object database. Proposed system is flexible and extensible, enabling experts to incrementally add more knowledge and information. Experimental results show that the proposed system is more effective than existing content-based image retrieval method in running time and precision.

In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm using wavelet transform for still image database retrieval. Especially, it uses only the lowest frequency sub-band in multi-level wavelet transform so that a retrieval system uses a smaller quantity of memory and takes a faster processing time. We extract different textured features, statistical information such as mean, variance and histogram, from low frequency sub-band. Then we measure the distances between the query image and the images in a database in terms of these features. To obtain good retrieval performance, we use the first feature (mean and variance of wavelet coefficients) to filter out most of the unlikely images. The rest of the images are considered to be candidate images. Then we apply the second feature (histogram of wavelet coefficient) to rank all the candidate images. To evaluate the algorithm, we create various distorted image databases using MIT VisTex texture images and PICS natural images. Through simulations, we demonstrate that our method can achieve performance satisfactorily in terms of the retrieval accuracy as well as the both memory requirement and computational complexity. Therefore it is expected to provide good retrieval solution for JPEG-2000 using wavelet transform.

Object-based image retrieval method is addressed. A new image segmentation algorithm and image comparing method between segmented objects are proposed. For image segmentation, color and texture features are extracted from each pixel in the image. These features we used as inputs into VQ (Vector Quantization) clustering method, which yields homogeneous objects in terns of color and texture. In this procedure, colors are quantized into a few dominant colors for simple representation and efficient retrieval. In retrieval case, two comparing schemes are proposed. Comparing between one query object and multi objects of a database image and comparing between multi query objects and multi objects of a database image are proposed. For fast retrieval, dominant object colors are key-indexed into database.

In recent years, main focus of research on image retrieval techniques is on content-based image retrieval. Text-based image retrieval schemes, on the other hand, provide semantic support and efficient retrieval of matching images. In this paper, based on Formal Concept Analysis (FCA), we propose a new image indexing and retrieval technique. The proposed scheme uses keywords and textual annotations and provides semantic support with fast retrieval of images. Retrieval efficiency in this scheme is independent of the number of images in the database and depends only on the number of attributes. This scheme provides dynamic support for addition of new images in the database and can be adopted to find images with any number of matching attributes.

In this paper, a multimedia database retrieval system is proposed using MPEG-7 meta data. Multimedia content based retrieval system is implemented with the MPEG-7 meta data extraction and matching technique. MPEG-7 descriptors and descriptor schemes are stored into the database with other meta data. When a query image is given, the descriptors and descriptor schemes of the query image are extracted and compared with the descriptors and descriptor schemes in the database. Finally, images having more similarity are retrieved.

WebChemDB is an integrated chemical database retrieval system that provides access to over 8 million publicly available chemical structures, including related information on their biological activities and direct links to other public chemical resources, such as PubChem, ChEBI, and DrugBank. The data are publicly available over the web, using two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) structure retrieval systems with various filters and molecular descriptors. The web services API also provides researchers with functionalities to programmatically manipulate, search, and analyze the data.

Inorganic Crystal Structure Database, the essential information in the chemistry field for synthesis and property research of inorganic materials, has been constructed. The data source is obtained from the FIZ-Karlsruhe, about 65, 000 records of the coverage period is 1915 year to present. This paper describes the database schema and retrieval system of the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database designed for the speedy and efficient retrieval, especially developed into supporting numeric retrieval of the crystal structure cell parameter.

In this paper, we propose a retrieval system using knowledges of database expressed linguistically, where the relation between data are constructed by FCM. Several algorithms have been proposed to solve the major problem in the conventional retrieval system that the system doesn't reply in case of no data equal to user's query, and to express knowledge of database linguistically. This paper proposes the improved method of adding new cluster and the method of retrieving database from user's query. The validity of this retrieval system is shown by applying its algorithm to an example : the mail order service in post office.
