TLDR
A prototype implementation of a cooperative agent-based multimedia retrieval architecture that integrates a set of dissimilar collections of multimedia data on Indian cultural heritage and a comparison of the retrieval results with some existing Internet search tools proves the effectiveness of the architecture.Abstract:
We present the planning scheme for a cooperative agent-based multimedia retrieval architecture that integrates a heterogeneous set of repositories into a coherent information system. The agents in the system collaborate in context of a conceptual query to formulate unique retrieval strategies for the different collections. The retrieval plan makes need-based use of independent content analysis tools available on the network. The retrieval strategies for the repositories so formulated satisfy the specified constraints on quality of results and the response time requirements. The retrieval plan is reactively updated based on the retrieval performance at the individual repositories. We present some experimental results to show the effectiveness of the planning scheme for repositories with different characteristics and the scalability of the architecture. We present a prototype implementation of this architecture that integrates a set of dissimilar collections of multimedia data on Indian cultural heritage. A comparison of the retrieval results with some existing Internet search tools proves the effectiveness of the architecture.read more

Ontology Specification and Integration for Multimedia Applications
TL;DR: A new Bayesian Network based probabilistic reasoning framework with M-OWL for semantic interpretation of multimedia data and a new model for ontology integration, based on the similarity of the concepts in the media domain are proposed.

MOWL: An ontology representation language for web-based multimedia applications
TL;DR: A new perceptual modeling technique for reasoning with media properties observed in multimedia instances and the latent concepts is proposed, and a probabilistic reasoning scheme for belief propagation across domain concepts through observation of media properties is introduced.

Ontology guided access to document images
TL;DR: This paper makes use of an extension of OWL (ontology language for Web) to allow encoding of ontologies for document images to support conceptual querying and automated hyperlinking of document images.

Specifying spatio temporal relations for multimedia ontologies
TL;DR: A novel framework for formal specification of spatio-temporal relations between media objects using fuzzy membership and its use in multimedia ontologies and a reasoning framework for creating media based descriptions of concepts are presented.

Knowledge-based image retrieval with spatial and temporal constructs (Invited paper)
TL;DR: A knowledge-based approach to retrieve medical images by feature and content with spatial and temporal constructs is developed, which can be generated automatically by clustering algorithms based on feature values in the databases and hence are scalable to large collections of image features.

A concept-based image retrieval system
TL;DR: The authors describe the use of a concept model of the image collection as the basis to guide the retrieval and updating of image contents and to overcome the ambiguity of the meanings of terms in a free-text environment.

Emergent Properties of a Market-based Digital Library with Strategic Agents
TL;DR: The experiments show that strategic thinking is not always beneficial and that the advantage of being strategic decreases with the arrival of equally strategic agents, and it is expected the UMDL is likely to evolve to a point where some agents use simpler strategies and some use the p-strategy.
