MOQL: A Multimedia Object Query Language
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a general multimedia query language, called MOQL, based on ODMG's Object Query Language (OQL). In contrast to previous multimedia query languages that are either designed for one particular medium (e.g. images) or specialized for a particular application (e.g., medical imaging), MOQL is general in its treatment of multiple media and di erent applications. The language includes constructs to capture the temporal and spatial relationships in multimedia data as well as functions for query presentation. We illustrate the language features by query examples. The language is implemented for a multimedia database built on top of ObjectStore.

VisualMOQL: The DISIMA Visual Query Language
Multimedia data are now available to a variety of users ranging from naive to sophisticated. To make querying easy, visual query languages have been proposed. Most of these languages have a low expressive power and have their own query processors. Efforts have been made to design query languages with proper semantics to facilitate query optimization and processing in existing database systems. ...
متن کاملQuerying Images in the DISIMA DBMS
Because digital images are not meaningful by themselves, images are often coupled with some descriptive or qualitative data in an image database. Moreover the division of these data into syntactic (color, shape, texture) and semantic (meaningful real word object or concept) features necessitates novel querying techniques. Most image systems and prototypes have focussed on similarity searches ba...
متن کاملDISIMA: An Object-Oriented Approach to Developing an Image Database System
Most image database prototypes and products focus mainly on similarity searches over syntactic features of images. DISIMA aims at providing querying on both syntactic and semantic features of images. The content of an image is viewed as a set of salient objects (regions of interest). Salient objects are organized into two levels: physical salient objects that store syntactic features and logica...
متن کاملA Query Language for Similarity-Based Retrieval of Multimedia Data
This paper presents the main features of a Multimedia Query Language tailored for content-based similarity retrieval of multimedia objects. The Query Language processor is a component of a multimedia database system that adopts a model that permits both a structural representation of raw multimedia data and an automatically computed description of the multimedia data content. The Query Language...
متن کاملToward a 3D Moving Object Data Model - A Preliminary Consideration
This paper investigates a new data model for the realization of a three-dimensional (3D) moving object database system. In contrast to the traditional approach, it can deal with spatio-temporal characteristics of moving objects in the 3D space. A spatio-temporal sampling theory is introduced that enables a database system to store and manipulate all of the necessary spatio-temporal information ...
