abstract = {This paper describes visual interaction mechanisms for
image database systems. The typical mechanisms for visual interactions
are query by visual example (QVE) and query by subjective descriptions
(QBD). The former includes a sketch retrieval function and a
similarity retrieval function, and the latter includes a sense
retrieval function. We adopt both an image model and a user model to
interpret and operate the contents of image data from user's viewpoint.
The image model describes the graphical features of image data, while
the user model reflects the visual perception processes of the user.
These models, automatically created by image analysis and statistical
learning, are referred as abstract indexes stored in relational tables.
These algorithms are developed on our experimental database system, the
TRADEMARK and the ART MUSEUM.},
