Abstract
This paper presents an extended model for image representation and retrieval called EMIR2. This model combines different interpretations of the image to build a complete description of it, each interpretation being represented by a particular view. The set of views considered in EMIR2 include the physical view and the logical view, which is an aggregation of four main views: the structural view, the spatial view, the perceptive view, and the symbolic view. A first description of the model concepts is given using the BNF (Backus Normal Form) notation, yielding the framework EMIR2-BNF. We defined a first operational model suitable for information retrieval, that implements the concepts defined in EMIR2, and a correspondence function that estimates the similarity between two images. This operational model, called EMIR2 -CG, is based upon an extension of Sowa's conceptual graph formalism.
