Abstract

The semantics and cognition-based (SEMCOG) image retrieval has been developed to integrate semantics and cognition-based approaches to give users greater flexibility in posing queries. SEMCOG's image matching is based on objects in the images rather than the whole images. In SEMCOG, a query 'retrieve all images in which there is a man to the right of a car and the man looks like this image' can be posed using combinations of semantics and visual expressions. The queries are posed in the way of specifying image objects in their layouts using a visual query interface, in frame query (IFQ), rather than complicated multimedia database query languages.
