Video documents which have audio-visual and other semantics information have complex relationship among media. While user requests for topic retrieval or specific region retrieval increase, it is difficult to meet these requests with the existing design methodology, In order to support the systematic management and the various retrieval capabilities of video document, we must formulate structural and systematic model on metadata using semantics and structural informations which are abstracted automaticallv or manuallv. This paper suggests generic metadata model with which we analyze the characteristics of video document, supports various query types and serves as a generic framework for video applications, we propose the generic integrated management model(GIMM)for generic metadata,, design video documents management system(VDMS) and implement it using GIMM.

The knowledge base on emotional information is one of the key elements in the implementation of emotion retrieval systems for contents design of Mobile devices. This study proposed a new approach to the knowledge base implementation by automatically extracting color components from full-color images. In this study, the validity of the proposed method was empirically tested. Database was developed using 100 interior images as visual stimuli and a total of 48 subjects participated in the experiment. In order to test the reliability of the proposed 'emotional information knowledge base', firstly 'recall ratio' that refers to frequencies of correct images from the retrieved images was derived. Secondly, correlation Analysis was performed to compare the ratings by the subjects to what the system calculated. Finally, the rating comparison was used to run a paired-sample t-test. The analysis demonstrated satisfactory recall ration of 62.1%. Also, a significant positive correlation (p<.01) was observed from all the emotion keywords. The paired Sample t-test found that all the emotion keywords except "casual" retrieved the images in the order from more relevant to less relevant images and the difference was statistically significant (t(9)=5.528, p<.05). Findings of this study support that the proposed 'emotional information knowledge base' established only with color information automatically extracted from images can be effectively used for such visual stimuli search tasks as commercial interior images.

Recently, together with increasing use of multimedia data, many works on moving objects in video databases have been made. Moving objects change visual features and spatial positions with the lapse of time in video data. And they arc related to the other objects or events. In this paper, we propose a new modeling and various query types of moving objects for content based retrieval in video databases. The proposed modeling represents visual features, moving trajectories and semantic contents related to objects. Therefore, it allows to process various query types. And we propose various query operators for the retrieval types. To show the superiority of our modoling, we implement the retrieval systems and compare it with the existing methods in terms of the supporting query types. The proposed method supports various query types and improves the efficiency of the query processing over the existing methods.

Recently, it is important to process multimedia data efficiently. Especially, in case of retrieval of multimedia information, technique of user interface and retrieval technique are necessary. This paper proposes a new technique which detects cuts effectively in compressed image information by MPEG. A cut is a turning point of scenes. The cut-detection is the basic work and the first-step for video indexing and retrieval. Existing methods have a weak point that they detect wrong cuts according to change of a screen such as fast motion of an object, movement of a camera and a flash. Because they compare between previous frame and present frame. The proposed technique detects shots at first using DC(Direct Current) coefficient of DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform). The database is composed of these detected shots. Features are extracted by HMMD color model and edge histogram descriptor(EHD) among the MPEG-7 visual descriptors. And detections are performed in sequence by the proposed matching technique. Through this experiments, an improved video segmentation system is implemented that it performs more quickly and precisely than existing techniques have.

Recently, folksonomy-based image-sharing sites where users cooperatively make and utilize tags of image annotation have been gaining popularity. Typically, these sites retrieve images for a user request using simple text-based matching and display retrieved images in the form of photo stream. However, these tags are personal and subjective and images are not categorized, which results in poor retrieval accuracy and low user satisfaction. In this paper, we propose a categorization scheme for folksonomy images which can improve the retrieval accuracy in the tag-based image retrieval systems. Consequently, images are classified by the semantic similarity using text-information and image-information generated on the folksonomy. To evaluate the performance of our proposed scheme, we collect folksonomy images and categorize them using text features and image features. And then, we compare its retrieval accuracy with that of existing systems.

With the increasing popularity of the use of large-volume image database in various application, it becomes imperative to build an efficient and fast retrieval system to browse through the entire database. We present a new method for a content-based image retrieval by using a variable block size and block matching algorithm. Proposed approach is reflecting image features that exploit visual cues such as color and space allocation of image and is getting the fast retrieval time by automatical convergence of retrieval times which adapt to wanting similarity value. We have implemented this technique and tested it for a database of approximately 150 images. The test shows that a 1.9 times fast retrieval time compare to J & V algorithm at the image retrieval efficiency 0.65 and that a 1.83 times fast retrieval time compare to predefined fixed block size.

To overcome the weakness of the image retrieval system using the existing Ontology and the distributed image based on the database having a simple structure, HERMES was suggested to ensure the self-control of various image suppliers and support the image retrieval based on semantic, the mentioned framework could not solve the problems which are not considered the deterioration in the capacity and scalability when many users connect to broker server simultaneously. In this paper the tables are written which in the case numerous users connect at the same time to the supply analogous level of services without the deterioration in the capacity installs Broker servers and then measures the performance time of each inner Broker Component through Monitoring System and saved and decides the ranking in saved data. As many Query performances are dispersed into several Servers User inputted from the users Interface with reference to Broker Ranking Table, Load Balancing system improving reliability in capacity is proposed. Through the experiment, the scheduling technique has proved that this schedule is faster than existing techniques.

While the method of information collection and visual interface technique have been researched actively on web information retrieval, a study on structured modeling for effective classification of a wide collective information leaves to be desired. In this paper, we represent information feature based on structured information model. It aims at carrying out effectively the user's retrieval environment through visualization technique with analyzing the information feature. We propose a information classification method using Facet units and we construct the object model, table model, SQL code to define the relation of the information, and represent the information feature based on a wide range of views. After users gain a better global understanding of the information feature, retrieve more easily through their information. Conventional information retrieval is user-oriented to be what user want, but proposed technique it data-oriented which helps users to understand what exist in database by showing information feature.

The multimedia that is characterized by multi-media, multi-features, multi-representations, huge volume, and varieties, is rapidly spreading out due to the increasing of application domains. Thus, it is urgently needed to develop a multimedia information system that can retrieve the needed information rapidly and accurately from the huge amount of multimedia data. For the content-based retrieval of moving picture, picture information is generally used. It is generally used when video is segmented. Through that, it can be a structural video browsing. The tasking that divides video to shot is called video segmentation, and detecting the cut for video segmentation is called cut detection. The goal of this paper is to divide moving picture using HMMD(Hue-Mar-Min-Diff) color model and edge histogram descriptor among the MPEG-7 visual descriptors. HMMD color model is more familiar to human's perception than the other color spaces. Finally, the proposed retrieval system is implemented as hardware.
