Abstract
Nowadays research and development activities are accompanied by
an increasing focus on future user needs in the field of multimedia retrieval.
The fast growing of multimedia data repositories is an undeniable fact. Besides
big companies like newspaper publishers, broadcasting stations, car
manufacturers etc., dealing with digital content, an increasing number of private
users invent private multimedia repositories for their self-made photos and
videos. The development of suitable tools has to fulfill special requirements
concerning the storage, indexing and retrieval of multimedia content. In
addition easy-to-use content exchange via the Internet is a preferable feature.
The transition from text to photo retrieval raises the necessity of additional
meta-information about the content to allow semantic retrieval. As a result
metadata has to be generated, stored and indexed to enrich raw visual
information. As a result and proof of concept a pair of prototypes, called
“Caliph & Emir”, are presented.
