Abstract

There are two major directions for image retrieval interface development. One direction is manipulation through query languages, which is more precise to computers but not user friendly since users need to know database schema and query languages. Another disadvantage is that query languages do not visualize queries so that users can match the query representation with their mental models. Approaches include keyword-based interfaces and SQL-like query languages.
