| Abstract(in English) | In this paper, we propose a new approach to visual information retrieval. In this approach, first, an object-attribute matrix generated from an object set is decomposed using the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) method. In the second step, users place "yardstick objects" by which they can specify the retrieval conditions in the 2D-space. And then, users can indicate a query object in the same 2D-space. The spatial relationships between the query object and "yardstick objects" are interpreted as the definition of the plane, or as the search conditions. Then the object information is visualized in a 2D-space using the result of SVD. With this approach, users can easily specify retrieval conditions which will be complicated when expressed in Boolean expressions of keywords. And relevant objects that do not contain the attribute of the query can be properly characterized and identified. Such visual method realizes smooth and effective interactions between the system and users. |
