A Content-Based Multimedia Database Engine: MIR

Content management of multimedia information is an important foundational technology for information society. Content-based multimedia database engine: MIR is a prototype that can be embedded into object-relational DBMS. In this paper, we present the architecture of MIR that integrates information retrieval with data retrieval into database query, supporting content-based populating, manipulating and maintenances for multimedia database system. Then the data model describing visual features, content clues and spatio-temporal characteristics of multimedia data types is introduced, which provides an interval content-compression for multimedia data in database system. Finally, some content-based query schemes implemented in MIR are given.
