Bridging the P2P and WWW Divide with DISCOVIR - DIStributed COntent-based Visual Information Retrieval.
Ka Cheung Sia, Cheuk Hang Ng, Chi-Hang Chan · 2003
In the light of image retrieval evolving from text annotation to content-based and from standalone applications to web-based search engines, we foresee the need for deploying content-based image retrieval (CBIR) into Peer-to-Peer (P2P) architecture. By doing so, we not only distribute the tasks of feature extraction, indexing and storage of image data into peers, we also introduce another aspect of searching in addition to filename-based method in prevalent P2P applications. Through the deployment of DISCOVIR, we introduce a model to improve query e#ciency targeting on content-based search.
