Visualising the Query Space of the Image Collection
In this paper, we propose an information visualisation solution for multimedia retrieval based on semantic concepts defined in an image database. The proposed visualisation approach utilises concept map, Venn diagram and Fisheye distortion to enable effective and efficient visualisation of image database. In addition, the proposed approach enables displaying the local and global views of the collection subset, selected as relevant by the user. The proposed solution is evaluated on Corel 700 dataset with 10 semantic concepts for the following user actions: exploratory browsing, querying and detecting patterns.
