Abstract

We demonstrate PBIR-MM, an integrated system that we have built for conducting multimodal image retrieval. The system combines the strengths of content-based soft annotation (CBSA), multimodal relevance feedback through active learning, and perceptual distance formulation and indexing. PBIR-MM supports multimodal query and annotation in any combination of its three basic modes: seed-by-nothing, seed-by-keywords, and seed-by-content. We demonstrate PBIR-MM on a couple of very large image sets provided by image vendors and crawled from the Internet.
