Abstract

In this tutorial paper, we look at a variety of techniques and methods for effective and intuitive image database visualisation and browsing. While interaction with traditional image retrieval systems can lead to a confusing and frustrating user experience, image browsing systems attempt to provide the user with an intuitive interface to manage potentially large image databases. We discuss how image databases are visualised in the three main approaches of mapping-based, clustering-based and graph-based image database navigation systems, and how intuitive browsing operations are supported.
