Abstract

Multimedia searching over Internet has gained substantial popularity in the past two years. Java’s networking features, along with the growing number of Web browsers that can execute Java applets, facilitate distributed processing. Networking and computational performances are key concerns when considering the use of Java to develop performance-sensitive distributed multimedia search engines.

This paper makes four contributions to the study of such performance-sensitive distributed multimedia search engines. First, we describe the architecture of MISE, the MediaSys Image Search Engine over a large scale network. Secondly, we present the search capabilities of MISE as companion part of image processing. Thirdly, various evaluations of MISE have been made in terms of image processing performances and compared to the performances of Xv, an equivalent image processing application written in C.
