Abstract

To address the emerging needs of applications that require access to, and retrieval of multimedia objects, we have started a Multimedia Analysis and Retrieval System (MARS) project at the University of Illinois. The project brings together researchers interested in the fields of computer vision, compression, information management, and database systems with the singular goal of developing an effective multimedia database management system. As a first step toward the project, we have designed and implemented an image retrieval system. This discussion describes the novel approaches toward image segmentation, representation, browsing, and retrieval supported by the developed system. Also described are the directions of future research we are pursuing as part of the MARS project
