Abstract

This paper presents a novel framework called visual keywords for indexing and retrieving digital images. Visual keywords are flexible and intuitive visual prototypes with semantics. A new query method based on visual constraints allows direct and explicit content specification. Last but not least, we have developed a digital album prototype to demonstrate query and retrieval based on visual keywords.

Query suggestion is an effective approach to bridge the Intention Gap between the users' search intents and queries. Most existing search engines are able to automatically suggest a list of textual query terms based on users' current query input, which ...
