Evaluation of MPEG-7 audiovisual query applications

Accessing, searching, the information needed from multimedia database system became more important. Content-based retrieval and semantic querying applications use MPEG-7. Difference between traditional DBMS and MPEG-7 applications is the retrieving method. In this project, we evaluate the interface and functions of audio and visual multimedia query applications which are based on MPEG-7, according to MPEG-7 query format requirements developed by MPEG. This project represents different kinds of MPEG-7 multimedia applications, provides suggestions of design for the developers on the bases of evaluation criteria, and gives practical advice to the ISO standard documents.
