Recherche d'images sur un réseau à l'aide d'un système multi-agents. (Distributed Content Based Image Retrieval using a Multi-Agent System)

Cette these a pour objet la recherche d’images par le contenu dans un contexte debases d’images distribuees. Nous nous placons dans le schema classique des systemes derecherche d’images interactifs, c’est-a-dire que le systeme presente des images a l’utili-sateur et celui-ci les annote afin d’affiner la recherche, ce que l’on appelle ”bouclage depertinence”. Nous proposons dans un premier temps, une extension de ce schema a larecherche distribuee a l’aide d’un systeme multi-agents. Les agents parcourent le reseaua la recherche des images pertinentes et marquent les chemins pertinents afin de guiderles autres agents vers les sites interessants. Notre strategie s’inspire du comportement desfourmis et de leur marquage de l’environnement a l’aide de pheromones. Dans un secondtemps, nous nous interessons a la re-utilisation des marquages d’une session de recherchea une autre. Cet apprentissage a long-terme permet aux agents de trouver plus facilementles sites contenant des images pertinentes, et offre une importante reduction du tempsd’interaction requis pour l’obtention de bons resultats.
