| Abstract: | A practical component to an upper year electrical and computer engineering course in information engineering or multimedia systems is presented. Developed to introduce students to image indexing and retrieval, this experiment used a Microsoft Windows binary of the freely available MPEG-7 Experimentation Model from ISO for image description. The experiment was broken into three interdependent stages spanning a three week period. Each stage demonstrated various concepts associated with image indexing and retrieval. Students required C/C++ programming skills to parse binary encoded MPEG-7 descriptions, output ASCII description data, and perform retrievals on indexed information. Thislaboratory was distributed in nature, and each participatingstudent was made to work on a small, mutually exclusive image set. This experiment drives home the urgency of the media indexing problem in light of rapidly growing market need for multimedia management applications resulting from a huge influx of multimedia data. Through feedback, student views indicated that despite being long and time consuming, this experiment provided an interesting, original and stimulating experience. | ||
