Abstract

Image and video retrieval continues to be one of the most exciting and fastest-growing research areas in the field of multimedia technology. What are the main challenges in image and video retrieval? Despite the sustained efforts in the last years, we think that the paramount challenge remains bridging the semantic gap. By this we mean that low level features are easily measured and computed, but the starting point of the retrieval process is typically the high level query from a human. Translating or converting the question posed by a human to the low level features seen by the computer illustrates the problem in bridging the semantic gap. However, the semantic gap is not merely translating high level features to low level features. The essence of a semantic query is understanding the meaning behind the query. This can involve understanding both the intellectual and emotional sides of the human, not merely the distilled logical portion of the query but also the personal preferences and emotional subtons of the query and the preferential form of the results.
