FutureView: Enhancing Exploratory Image Search
نویسندگان
چکیده
Search algorithms in image retrieval tend to focus on giving the user more and more similar images based on queries that the user has to explicitly formulate. Implicitly, such systems limit the users exploration of the image space and thus remove the potential for serendipity. As a response, in recent years there has been an increased interest in developing content based image retrieval systems that allow the user to explore the image space without the need to type specific search queries. However, most of the research focuses on designing new algorithms and techniques, while little research has been done in designing interfaces allowing the user to actively engage in directing their image search. We present an interactive FutureView interface that can be easily combined with most existing exploratory image search engines. The interface gives the user a view of possible future search iterations. A task-based user study demonstrates that our interface enhances exploratory image search by providing access to more images without increasing the time required to find a specific image.

Facilitating Image Exploratory Search with Relations
Traditional text-based image retrieval does not fully support queries on semantic relationships between two entities. To better help the exploratory search on image collections, this paper presents a system for automatically extracting the relations between entities by analyzing the sentence dependency on the descriptions of the images. Our results demonstrate that using the extracted relations...
متن کاملCriteria that have an effect on users while making image relevance judgements
This paper reports the result of an exploratory user study investigating criteria that are important to users when judging relevance while performing an image search. Data was collected from 12 participants using questionnaires and screen capture recordings. Users were required to perform three image search tasks which are specific, general and abstract image search and judge relevance based on...
متن کاملIntegrated Browsing and Searching of Large Image Collections
Current image retrieval systems ooer either an exploratory search method through browsing and navigation or a direct search method based on speciic queries. Combining both of these methods in a uniform framework allows users to formulate queries more naturally, since they are already acquainted with the contents of the database and with the notion of matching the machine would use to return res...
متن کاملVisualization of Personalized Faceted Browsing
Current user needs and expectations increasingly shift focus away from simple information lookup towards more complex tasks collectively described as exploratory search. This requires the development of novel approaches and tools to search, navigation and processing of information, such as personalized faceted browsing. We describe a visualization approach for personalized faceted browsers suit...
