A Query Language for Similarity-Based Retrieval of Multimedia Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 is an extension of a traditional object-oriented query language. It allows to express restrictions on features, concepts and structural aspects of the multimedia database objects. In addition, the language supports the formulation of queries with imprecise conditions. The outcome of a query execution is an ordered set of pairs, each one consisting of an object and a measure of the similarity of the object with the criteria specified in the query.

متن کاملDLMedia: an Ontology Mediated Multimedia Information Retrieval System
We outline DL-Media, an ontology mediated multimedia information retrieval system, which combines logic-based retrieval with multimedia featurebased similarity retrieval. An ontology layer is used to define (in terms of a fuzzy DLR-Lite like description logic) the relevant abstract concepts and relations of the application domain, while a content-based multimedia retrieval system is used for fe...
متن کاملQuery Language for Complex Similarity Queries
For complex data types such as multimedia, traditional data management methods are not suitable. Instead of attribute matching approaches, access methods based on object similarity are becoming popular. Recently, this resulted in an intensive research of indexing and searching methods for the similarity-based retrieval. Nowadays, many efficient methods are already available, but using them to b...
متن کاملStars: a Spatial Attributes Retrieval System for Images and Videos
Combining both text-based retrieval and content-based retrieval techniques in building multimedia databases is the ultimate goal of this work. We describe an object-oriented multimedia database which supports such a combination. In supporting content-based image and video retrieval, we focus on spatial properties which is an essential part of any image and video retrieval system. We deal with b...
