چکیده

We propose a method of content-based multimedia retrieval of objects with visual, aural and textual properties. In our method, training examples of objects belonging to a specific semantic class are associated with their low-level visual descriptors (such as MPEG-7) and textual features such as frequencies of significant keywords. A fuzzy mapping of a semantic class in the training set to a class of similar objects in the test set is created by using Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs) trained from automatically extracted low-level descriptors. We have performed several experiments with different textual features to evaluate the potential of our approach in bridging the gap from visual features to semantic concepts by the use textual presentations. Our initial results show a promising increase in retrieval performance.

Inferring semantics from textual information in multimedia retrieval

We propose a method for inferring semantic information from textual data in content-based multimedia retrieval. Training examples of images and videos belonging to a specific semantic class are associated with their low-level visual and aural descriptors augmented with textual features such as frequencies of significant words. A fuzzy mapping of a semantic class in the training set to a class o...

Bridging the Semantic Gap in Image Retrieval

The emergence of multimedia technology and the rapidly expanding image and video collections on the internet have attracted significant research efforts in providing tools for effective retrieval and management of visual data. Image retrieval is based on the availability of a representation scheme of image content. Image content descriptors may be visual features such as color, texture, shape, ...

Content-based Video Retrieval and Summarization using MPEG-7

Retrieval in current multimedia databases is usually limited to browsing and searching based on low-level visual features and explicit textual descriptors. Semantic aspects of visual information are mainly described in full text attributes or mapped onto specialized, application specific description schemes. Result lists of queries are commonly represented by textual descriptions and single key...

Content Based Visual Information Retrieval for Management Information Systems

This paper presents the results of our research devoted to development of efficient methods for retrieval and indexing of documents with multimedia information that can help a business work smarter and gain an important advantage in whatever that business does. Particularly, a novel hybrid method for visual information retrieval (VIR) is proposed. It combines shape analysis of objects in image ...

Combining Visual and Textual Modalities for Multimedia Ontology Matching

Multimedia search and retrieval are considerably improved by providing explicit meaning to visual content by the help of ontologies. Several multimedia ontologies have been proposed recently as suitable knowledge models to narrow the well known semantic gap and to enable the semantic interpretation of images. Since these ontologies have been created in different application contexts, establishi...
