인지적 공간관계 표현을 적용한 의미적 이미지 검색 시스템 설계 및 구현

Abstract

In present day, there are a number of image data in the web because of the development of the image acquisition devices. So, many researchers have been studying about the image retrieval and management. Keyword matching, contents-based and concept-based methods are the basic studies for the image retrieval. In this paper, we suggest the new image retrieval methodology using the cognitive spatial relationships between the objects in the image. There were the similar studies already using the spatial relationships. However, the studies have the limitations and don't give the good search results. We think to need the new methodology for representing the spatial relationships. It is the cognitive spatial relationships. In our study, we newly define the cognitive spatial relationships and apply it to the image retrieval system. At the result, we realized that our methodology make possible the semantic image retrieval.
