abstract = {3D MARS is a new visualization system for Content-Based
Image Retrieval (CBIR) based on the MARS project of University of
Illinois. In 3D MARS, the user browses and queries images in an
immersive 3D Virtual Reality space of CAVE. The results of the query
are displayed in 3D, so that the user can see the result with respect
to three different criteria such as color, texture and structure. The
user can examine the result from different view angles by
flying-through the space with the joystick. By giving feedback to the
previous query results, the use can incrementally improve the query
(relevance feedback.) By the use of both Feature Ranking and Total
Ranking, the system makes the retrieval process more flexible. In
addition, the Sphere mode visualization is provided as a powerful
analyzing tool for CBIR researchers.
Although the system is developed on an immersive projection-based
virtual reality environment, our approach can also be used on different
types of virtual reality system such as Head-Mounted Display or
monitor-based VR.},
