An affinity-based image retrieval system for multimedia authoring and presentation

In this demonstration, we present an image retrieval system to support multimedia authoring and presentation. An affinity-based mechanism, Markov Model Mediator (MMM), is used as the search engine for the system, which utilizes both the low-level image features and the learned high-level concepts via user access patterns and access frequencies. This system is one of the major components of MediaManager, a distributed multimedia management system developed by us. Both retrieval and learning facilities are supported in this system. The retrieval system also provides input information to the Multimedia Augmented Transition Network (MATN) environment for multimedia authoring and presentation. Categories and Subject Descriptors H.3.3 [Information Systems]: Information Storage and Retrieval – Information Search and Retrieval – Retrieval models. General Terms Experimentation, Human Factors. Keywords Content-based Image Retrieval, Markov Model Mediator, MediaManager.
