Increasing application demands are pushing database management systems (DBMSs) towards providing adequate and efficient support for content-based retrieval over multimedia objects...
Conventional approaches to image retrieval are based on the assumption that relevant images are physically near the query image in some feature space. This is the basis of the clu...
In this paper, we propose a semantic-meaningful approach for region-based image retrieval in image database. Our retrieval system is based on wavelet transform for its decompositi...
This paper presents four novel techniques for open-vocabulary spoken document retrieval: a method to detect slots that possibly contain a query feature; a method to estimate occurr...
Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) is currently limited because of the lack of representational power of the low-level image features, which fail to properly represent the actual...
