Abstract

In this paper we describe two approaches for providing a versatile mechanism for retrieval and navigation using spatially related feature selections. As an example, we build colour histograms from images, and use a quadratic histogram match to achieve a retrieval method based on the spatial colour distribution of the images. Navigation is facilitated by a larger architecture, called MAVIS (Multimedia Architecture for Video, Image and Sound), which is an on-going research project to provide an integrated and networked approach to multimedia content based retrieval and navigation. Demonstrations are provided of the two presented retrieval methods in action.
