Dublin, Ireland, No. 3115 in Lecture Notes in Computer Science, pp. 491-499, Springer-Verlag, July 21-23 2004.This paper describes interfaces for a suite of three recently developed techniques to facilitate content-based access to large image and video repositories. Two of these techniques involve content-based retrieval while the third technique is centered around a new browsing structure and forms a useful complement to the traditional query-by-example paradigm. Each technique is associated with its own user interface and allows for a different set of user interactions. The user can move between interfaces whilst executing a particular search and thus may combine the particular strengths of the different techniques. We illustrate each of the techniques using topics from the TRECVID 2003 contest.
