Abstract

The amount of multimedia information has been increasing by the rapid growth of the Internet technology. Recently the need for the efficient image retrieval technology has been raised since an electronic document includes a significant amount of image information. In this paper, we designed and developed the information retrieval system for images and tables included in an electronic document by converting an electronic document to XML. The method proposed in this paper represents the information of images and tables in the XML format. Therefore the system could be implemented conveniently using the commercial system supporting XML and increased the retrieval accuracy for images and tables.
