abstract = {A multimedia object is represented by several kinds of
feature vectors which are (semi)-automatically extracted. Therefore, a
multimedia information system must employ multiple search and indexing
mechanisms due to integration of multiple search modalities such as
querying for search and for indexing, keywords and other content-based
feature vectors extracted from multimedia objects such as color,
texture, shape or sketch. However, today there is no indexing method
for content based multimedia retrieval systems.
In this paper, we introduce a new file structure called Spatial Grid
File (SGF). This file structure enables to index multimedia objects by
different and independent high-dimensional feature vectors. Moreover,
with it, complex queries involving combined retrieval can be
efficiently performed. It has unique feature in combining set of search
modes each having different properties and similarity metrics. The
detailed descriptions of SGF and a summary of results obtained from the
experiments are included.},
