Exploratory Image Databases

Opis książki Exploratory Image Databases:

Foreword by Ramesh Jain, Co-founder Virage,Inc., and Founder of Visual Computing Laboratory, University of California, San Diego, USA One of the first books to unify the critical emerging topic of image databases 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 depend on the cutting-edge research and applications explored in this book. It combines 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'. 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.
