Internet has been becoming widely popular and making rapid progress and network technologies is showing extension in data transmission speeds. Rapid and convenient multimedia services supplied with high quality and high speed are being needed, This paper treats of the design and implement method of clip-based video retrieval system on the world-wide-web environments. The implemented system consists of the content-based indexing system supporting convenient services for video contents providers and the web-based retrieval system in order to make it easy and various information retrieval for users on the world-wide-web. Three important methods were used in the content-based indexing system. Key frame extracting method by dividing video data, clip file creation method by clustering related information and video database build method by using clip unit, In web-based retrieval system, retrieval method by using a key word, two dimension browsing method of key frame and real-time display method of the clip were used. As a result. the proposed methodologies showed a usefulness of video content providing. and provided an easy method for searching intented video content.

This paper proposes an image retrieval method based on the Multiple Region-of-Interest. In the proposed method, the image is segmented into blocks, among which the blocks overlapped with multiple ROIs are selected. The similarity of images is measured using the MPEG-7 dominant color descriptor(DCD) and considering the relative location of the overlapped blocks. The experimental results showed that the proposed method improves the retrieval performance than the previous methods using the global DCD or comparing the blocks at the same position. In addition, the method that considers the relative position of blocks overlapped with the multiple ROIs also showed a better performance than the existing methods.

The context-aware environment focuses on recognizing the context and physical entities. For this reason, there has been an increasement in research of context-aware computing environment. Ontology-based context models are widely used in ubiquitous environment because of context sharing and reusing. In this paper, we propose a proactive retrieval method using ontology in context-aware environment. The method use a concept level of hierarchical concept tree in ontology for more efficient retrieval. This paper describes the proactive retrieval method and ontology model. Several experiments are performed and the results verify that the proposed method's efficiency is better than other existing methods.

Recently, Internet GIS(Geographic Information System) is increasing. From the results, more efficient spatial data retrieval is needed. For more efficient retrieval, a spatial indexing method is needed. This paper proposes an efficient spatial indexing method for levelized geometric data retrieval. Previous indexing methods are not adequate to retrieve levelized geometric data. For the effects, a few indexing methods for levelized geometric data, are known. But these methods support only a tew kinds of levelized geometric data. The proposed method supports all kind of levelized geometric data and outperforms to the previous method both in retrieval time and memory capacity.

Wavelet transform used for content-based image retrieval has good performance in texture image. Image features for content-based image retrieval are color, texture, and shape. In this paper, we use color feature extracted from HSI color space known as most similar vision system to human vision system and texture feature extracted from wavelet histogram which has multiresolution property. Proposed method is compared with HSI color histogram method and wavelet histogram method. It is shown better performance.

This paper proposes an effective similarity measure for content-based image retrieval using MPEG-7 DCD. The proposed method can measure the similarity of images with the percentage of dominant colors extracted from images. As the result of experiments, we achieved a significant improvement of 18.92% with global DCD and 47.22% with local DCD in ANMRR than the result by QHDM. This result shows that the proposed method is an effective similarity measure for content-based image retrieval. Especially, our method is useful for region-based image retrieval.

A XML Document has a structure which may be irregular The irregular document structure is difficult for users to know exactly. In this paper, we propose the XML document model and the structure retrieval method for efficient management and structure retrieval of XML documents. So we use fixed-sized LETID having the information of element, describe the structured information retrieval algorithm for parent and child element to represent the structured information of XML documents. Using this method, we represent the structured information of XML document efficiently. We can directly access to specific clement by simple operation, and process various queries. We expect the method to support various structured retrieval of specific element such as parent, child. and sibling elements.

Content based image retrieval has become an increasingly important research topic for its wide application. It is highly challenging when facing to large-scale database with large variance. The retrieval systems rely on a key component, the predefined or learned similarity measures over images. We note that, the similarity measures can be potential improved if the data distribution information is exploited using a more sophisticated way. In this paper, we propose a similarity measure learning approach for image retrieval. The similarity measure, so called Fisher kernel, is derived from the probabilistic distribution of images and is the function over observed data, hidden variable and model parameters, where the hidden variables encode high level information which are powerful in discrimination and are failed to be exploited in previous methods. We further propose a discriminative learning method for the similarity measure, i.e., encouraging the learned similarity to take a large value for a pair of images with the same label and to take a small value for a pair of images with distinct labels. The learned similarity measure, fully exploiting the data distribution, is well adapted to dataset and would improve the retrieval system. We evaluate the proposed method on Corel-1000, Corel5k, Caltech101 and MIRFlickr 25,000 databases. The results show the competitive performance of the proposed method.

Recently, patent images are growing importance and thus patent image retrieval is a growing area of research. However, most existing patent image retrieval systems use edges extracted in the images, whose performance is affected by the quality of edge detection in the image pre-processing step. To overcome this disadvantage, we propose a SURF-based patent image retrieval method which uses the morphological characteristics of the images. The proposed method detects SURF interest points with directions and computes regional histograms. We apply the proposed method to a patent image database with 2000 binary images and we show the proposed retrieval system achieves excellent results, even when the images have some loss or degradation.

Color, texture, and shape act as important information for images in human recognition. For content-based image retrieval, many studies have combined color, texture, and shape features to improve the retrieval performance. However, there have not been many powerful methods for combining all color, texture, and shape features. This study proposes a content-based image retrieval method that uses the combined local and global features of color, texture, and shape. The color features are extracted from the color autocorrelogram; the texture features are extracted from the magnitude of a complete local binary pattern and the Gabor local correlation revealing local image characteristics; and the shape features are extracted from singular value decomposition that reflects global image characteristics. In this work, an experiment is performed to compare the proposed method with those that use our partial features and some existing techniques. The results show an average precision that is 19.60% higher than those of existing methods and 9.09% higher than those of recent ones. In conclusion, our proposed method is superior over other methods in terms of retrieval performance.
