Event Semantic Photo Retrieval Management System Based on MPEG-7

Semantic photo retrieval has been a crux to bridge "semantic gap " between the simple visual features and the abundant semantics delivered by a photo.

A photo album management system that facilitates photo management and semantic retrieval, which fully relies on the MPEG-7 standard as information base, and using a native XML database has been designed and implemented..
