Abstract

This paper presents our work in developing a system, SWIM (Show What I Mean), an prototyping environment for development of content-based image and video retrieval tools. A variety of features for representing image and video content implemented in SWIM has been presented. A set of functional modules of SWIM with unique features, including visual query formation, video parsing and abstraction, image and video retrieval, and video browsing, has been presented with example of their applications.
