Recent advances in computer-based storage, transmission and display of multimedia data
have been truly impressive. The sight (and sound) of information emanating from all parts of …

Presents a gentle introduction to multimedia information systems. The author explores the
nature of multimedia data model and information system architecture, and reviews the …

Color is an important attribute for image matching and retrieval. We present a new method fo
color matching based on a clustering algorithm in 3-D color space. We define a new color …

We present algorithms for automatic image annotation and retrieval based on color, shape,
texture, and any combination of two or more of these features. Pixel-or region (object)-based …

A content-based image retrieval system (CBIR) is required to effectively utilize information
from image databases. Content-based retrieval is characterized by the ability of the system …

In this paper, we consider various spatial relationships that are of general interest in pictorial
database systems. We present a set of rules that allow us to deduce new relationships from …

Recently, there has been widespread interest in various kinds of database management
systems for managing information from images. Image Retrieval problem is concerned with …

We present a method for automatic image annotation and retrieval based on query-by-
example by region-based shape matching. The proposed method consists of two parts …

Research into computerized storage and retrieval of pictorial information has grown from
modest beginnings in the late 1970's to a thriving field encompassing areas as diverse as …

The paper presents (i) two similarity based methods for retrieval of pictures using indices on
spatial relationships;(ii) efficient al-gorithms for the deduction and reduction of spatial …
