Abstract

One of the central problems regarding media search is the semantic gap between the low-level features computed automatically from media data and the human interpretation of them. This is because the notion of similarity is usually based on high-level abstraction but the low-level features do not sometimes reflect the human perception. In this paper, we assume the semantics of media is determined by the contextual relationship in a dataset, and introduce the method to capture the contextual information from a large media (especially image) dataset for effective search. Similarity search in an image database based on this contextual information shows encouraging experimental results.
