XML-driven Image Semantic Retrieval System

In this paper we firstly present an XML-driven image semantic retrieval system,which consists of several functional modules,i.e.image content hierarchy modeling,semantic object automatic extraction,and semantic similarity measure.Secondly,the paper concentrates on the image character description model,and we discuss the definitions and operators of image object.Then some related XML semantic descriptors are defined to represent the image content.Experiment results on traffic images show good retrieval quality.
