Content-based retrieval of multimedia information is one of the
most difficult research topics in multimedia computing and
information retrieval. In this paper, we present a visual system which
allows content-based retrieval of still image. The recognition
algorithms we used are based on spatio-temporal relations. Two
approaches and algorithms were developed based on the similarity
between polygons. The system is incorporated with a visual interface
which allows the user to specify polygons as the shape specification of
pictures. The preliminary experience shows that, within an image
database containing about 300 bitmapped images, the system is able to
retrieve correct information of a high satisfaction.
