mage Management Using the XML Techniques

Abstract

As the advances of the internet technologies, more and more books and multimedia documents have been digitized and shared over the Internet. To design an effective and efficient information retrieval scheme, and hence, becomes an import and issue for the purpose of querying multimedia data through the Internet. In this paper, we proposed a hybrid feature measure which combines the spatial structure and color features of an image based on a preprocessed 2DC0string technique for recognizing rotation invariants. Based on the segmented objects in an image, a hierarchical image model consisting of spatial relationships among objects and low-level features associated to objects is proposed. The proposed system is described and managed in XML, which has been proved to be useful in interchanging text information. We use it to achieve the goal of interchanging multimedia data. An image database consisting of 110 flag images is constructed to verify the performance of the system. Test results of the proposed scheme for retrieval of images using a set of rotated and distorted query images are presented. The efficiency of retrieval is found to be very high and the experimental results are promising for practical applications.
