The growth of multimedia collections - in terms of size, heterogeneity, and variety of media types - necessitates systems that are able to conjointly deal with several forms of media, especially when it comes to searching for particular objects. However, existing retrieval systems are organized in silos and treat different media types separately. As a consequence, retrieval across media types is either not supported at all or subject to major limitations. In this paper, we present vitrivr, a content-based multimedia information retrieval stack. As opposed to the keyword search approach implemented by most media management systems, vitrivr makes direct use of the object's content to facilitate different types of similarity search, such as Query-by-Example or Query-by-Sketch, for and, most importantly, across different media types - namely, images, audio, videos, and 3D models. Furthermore, we introduce a new web-based user interface that enables easy-to-use, multimodal retrieval from and browsing in mixed media collections. The effectiveness of vitrivr is shown on the basis of a user study that involves different query and media types. To the best of our knowledge, the full vitrivr stack is unique in that it is the first multimedia retrieval system that seamlessly integrates support for four different types of media. As such, it paves the way towards an all-purpose, content-based multimedia information retrieval system.
@cite_6: Shape is one of the primary low level image features in Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR). Many shape representations and retrieval methods exist. However, most of those methods either do not well capture shape features or are difficult to do normalization (making matching difficult). Among them, methods based Fourier descriptors (FDs) achieve both good representation (perceptually meaningful) and easy normalization. Besides, FDs are easy to derive and compact in terms of representation. Design of FDs focuses on how to derive Fourier invariants from Fourier coefficients and how to obtain Fourier coefficients from shape signatures. Different Fourier invariants and shape signatures have been exploited to derive FDs. In this paper, we study different FDs and build a Java retrieval framework to compare shape retrieval performance using different FDs in terms of computation complexity, robustness, convergence speed and retrieval performance. The retrieval performance of the different FDs is compared using a standard shape database.
@cite_39: network and development of multimedia technologies are becoming more popular, users are not satisfied with the traditional information retrieval techniques. so nowadays the content based image retrieval are becoming a source of exact and fast retrieval. In this paper the techniques of content based image retrieval are discussed, analysed and compared. It also introduced the feature like neuro fuzzy technique, color histogram, texture and edge density for accurate and effective Content Based Image Retrieval System.
Early work on image matching and retrieval started in the late 1970's and it has become a fundamental aspect of many problems in computer vision. General-purpose color-based CBIR systems very often employ histograms in different color spaces, color layout and region-based search, or a combination thereof @cite_39 . Typical techniques for identifying shapes involve edge histograms or image moments, like for instance centroid distances @cite_39 @cite_6 .
