2. General Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR)

3. Object-Based Image Retrieval Example – Query by two objects Techniques used: Image segmentation Neural network Multiple instance learning …

4. Research Issues … Multiple object retrieval for image databases Learning of composite model Information fusion Apply the developed techniques to other applications such as drug activity discovery, pattern recognition for medical image analysis, etc.

5. Video Data Mining Example: Locate the interesting events (goals, corner kicks, etc.) in a large amount of raw, unprocessed soccer videos Facilitate automatic annotation and indexing of the high-level structures of soccer videos Soccer videos …… Corner kick eventGoal event ……

6. Research Issues … Video event mining: Detect other types of soccer events like free kicks, referees, and fouls, etc. Discover the underlying associations among different events/subevents Develop a scalable soccer video database system and a flexible user query interface Apply to other types of videos (TV news, Basketball, etc.)
