Web Service Workflow for Visual Media Retrieval

Abstract

The need for content-based retrieval from visual media, such as image and video data, is ever increasing rapidly in many applications, such as electronic art museums, internet shopping malls, internet search engines, and medical information systems. In this paper, we propose a Web Service workflow for the Web Service-driven visual media architecture, named the HERMES. We describe Web Service workflow for visual media service registration and visual media query processing. We explain how metadata and ontology can be utilized to realize more intelligent content-based retrieval on visual media data.
