Toshikazu Kato, Koreaki Fujimura, Nonmember Hiroyuki Shimogaki · Systems and Computers in Japan · 1990
Abstract An experimental multimedia database system TRADEMARK is being developed. This system includes image processing facilities as the primitive data operations. It provides (a) automatic image data registration and automatic indexing by abstracted image representation, (b) similarity retrieval from actual visual examples, and (c) multimedia document formatting of retrieved data. Similarity retrieval in this system also permits handwritten and rough sketches as visual examples. Its ability in similarity operations is also evaluated experimentally. The design principle proposed here is based on a hyperobject‐oriented model which has the following features: (i) knowledge base‐like representation of object world, (ii) extensive architecture by deduction of logic database, and (iii) AI‐oriented human interface.
