The explosion of computer use and internet communication has placed
new emphasis on the ability to store, retrieve and search for all
types of images, both still photo and video images. The success and
the future of visual information retrieval depends on the cutting
edge research and applications explored in this book. It combines
the expertise from both computer vision and database research.
Unlike text retrieval and text/numeric databases the challenges of
image databases are enormous. How do you use "data mining" to
search for an image if you do not have "key words" to search?
Exploratory Image Databases introduces the idea that it is possible
to solve this problem by merging database systems into a single
search and browse activity called "exploration."
Exploratory Image Databases is one of the first single-author books
that unifies the critical emerging topic of image databases. A new
approach to image databases, the work is divided into four central
parts: introduction to the problems that image database research
must solve; computer vision and information retrieval techniques;
image database issues; and interface and engines for visual
searches.
Example: Imagine the difficulty of building and using a database
for "face recognition," where an image of a face is used. In order
to effectively use the image a huge number of characteristics would
need to be entered in the database. The goal of future image
databases is to use hardware and software to recognize and
categorize images without typing in characteristics.
* Comprehensive coverage of the image analysis as well as the
database/theoretical aspects of image databases.
* Extensive coverage of interfaces and interaction models, with a
theoretical framework for the development of new interaction
schemes.
* Identifies three interaction models between users and image
databases, two of which have no counterpart in traditional
databases.
* Coverage of the relation between image and text, including mixed
search models and the automatic determination of the relation
between images and text on large corpuses like the web.
* Analysis of the process of signification in images and its
influence on the interaction models and technological problems of
image databases.
