Abstract

A multimedia object is represented by several kinds of feature vectors which are (semi)-automatically extracted. Therefore, a multimedia information system must employ multiple search and indexing mechanisms due to integration of multiple search modalities such as querying for search and for indexing, keywords and other content-based feature vectors extracted from multimedia objects such as color, texture, shape or sketch. However, today there is no indexing method for content based retrieval of such feature combinations and there is an increasing need for multiple-feature indexing in content based multimedia retrieval systems.
