There is an enormous amount of multi-media data including images, video, speech, audio and text, distributed among the various computer nodes on the Internet. The extent to which a user wiU be able to derive useful information from these data depends largely on the ease with which required data can be retrieved from the databases. The share volume of the data also poses a storage constraint on the databases; hence these data will need to exist in the compressed form on the databases. In this paper we concentrate on image data and propose a new paradigm in which a compressed …

Despite: the increasing interest in multimedia data retrieval audio data has received little attention. This is due, not to a lack of interest but rather to unique difficulties posed by the medium. In particular existing unstructured audio representations do not easily lend themselves to content based retrieval and especially browsing. This paper aims to address hs oversight by developing an audio representation that provides direct support for browsing and content based retrieval. This support is the result of a structured representation based on psychoacoustic ptincip1.e~in which salient attributes of audio are directly accessible. In addition, the representation is compact thus …
