A compositional approach increases the level of representation that can be automatically extracted and used in a visual information retrieval system.
Abstract
A compositional approach increases the level of representation that can be automatically extracted and used in a visual information retrieval system. Visual information at the perceptual level is aggregated according to a set of rules. These rules reflect the specific context and transform perceptual words into phrases capturing pictorial content at a higher, and closer to the human, semantic level.

ComputerQuery by image and video content: the QBIC system
3,058 Citations1995Myron Flickner, Harpreet Sawhney +10 more
The QBIC system is described and its query capabilities are demonstrated, which allows queries on large image and video databases based on example images, user-constructed sketches and drawings, selected color and texture patterns, camera and object motion, and other graphical information.
VisualSEEk
1,745 Citations1996John R. Smith, Shih‐Fu Chang
The VisualSEEk system is novel in that the user forms the queries by diagramming spatial arrangements of color regions by utilizing color information, region sizes and absolute and relative spatial locations.

Similarity indexing with the SS-tree
639 Citations2002David A. White, Ramesh Jain
This work defines the problem as "similarity indexing" and describes the fundamental types of "similarity queries" that should be supported and proposes a new dynamic structure for similarity indexing called the similarity search tree or SS-tree.
IEEE Transactions on Software EngineeringAn efficient pictorial database system for PSQL
226 Citations1988N. Roussopoulos, Christos Faloutsos +1 more
A description is given of PSQL, a query language that allows pictorial domains to be presented to the user in their analog form and allows him or her to do direct manipulation on the objects found on those domains.
IEEE Transactions on Software EngineeringPICQUERY: a high level query language for pictorial database management
151 Citations1988Tim Joseph, A.F. Cárdenas
A reasonably comprehensive set of data accessing and manipulation operations that should be supported by a generalized pictorial database management system (PDBMS) is proposed and a corresponding high-level query language, PICQUERY, is presented and illustrated through examples.
Multimedia SystemsImage retrieval by color semantics
75 Citations1999J.M. Corridoni, Alberto Del Bimbo +1 more
A system which translates the Itten theory into a formal language that expresses the semantics associated with the combination of chromatic properties of color images and exploits a competitive learning technique to segment images into regions with homogeneous colors.
Retrieval of commercials by video semantics
20 Citations2002Carlo Colombo, Alberto Del Bimbo +1 more
A link is formalized between low level features of a commercial video and feelings that the video would inspire in the observer and this link is used to define high level indices capturing the main semantics of the video.
Sensations and psychological effects in color image database
12 Citations2002Stefano Berretti, Alberto Del Bimbo +1 more
This paper presents a system which translates the Itten theory into a formal language that allows for the semantics associated with the combination of chromatic properties of color images to be expressed.
Commercial video retrieval by induced semantics
12 Citations2002M. Caliani, Carlo Colombo +2 more
In this paper, previous research in the marketing and semiotics fields is translated into a multimedia engineering perspective, and a link is formalized between visual features of commercials at the perceptual level and the specific information that is being vehiculated to the audience.
