We present a novel framework for intelligent search and retrieval by image content composition. Very different from the existing Query-by-Example paradigm, logical queries are exp...
Retrieving music from large digital databases is a demanding computational task. The cost for indexing and searching depends not only on the computational effort of measuring music...
