Audiovisual Retrieval Framework for Multimedia Archives on Java Enabled Mobile Devices

Content-based multimedia retrieval over wireless networks is a challenging research problem. In this paper we focus on a generic client-server framework designed to perform aural and visual multimedia retrievals over wireless networks. The client is developed for Java enabled mobile devices where a user can initiate a content-based query process to retrieve similar multimedia items and the server is designed on a host computer to execute the query requests and stream back the retrieval results. Experiments show that the proposed scheme achieves efficiency in terms of adaptability and speed
