The paper considers indexing an activity which deals with linguistic entities. It rests on the assumption that a theory of indexing should be based on a philosophy of language, because indexing is concerned with the linguistic representation of meaning. The paper consists of four sections: It begins with some basic considerations on the nature of indexing and the requirements of a theory on thi...

Direct Dct Indexing Using Genetic Algorithm Concepts

It is highly desirable in terms of speed and computational costs to perform image indexing and retrieval in the compressed domain. The exponential growth of digital media on both the WWW [1] and home imaging equipment has prompted the development of faster, more accurate indexing algorithms. Successful techniques have the ability to summarise the features of an image into a relatively small key...
