RETRIEVING FILES USING CONTENT

BASED SEARCHING AND

PRESENTING IT IN CAROUSEL VIEW

Industry Oriented ProjectBy

Four Phases

Content Based Image Retrieval

Establishing P2P protocol

Developing Carousel view

Summarizing and Indexing files.

Phase 4

Phase 3

Phase 2

Phase 1

Phase 1

Deals with designing algorithms for summarizing and indexing text

files. In case of multimedia files the metadata files are created manually

by the programmers.

This phase also involves algorithms for converting .doc and .pdf files to .txt format.

In this system the searching is not done at the run time based on indexing which is done before hand.

Folders would be replaced by a new construct called a library. A library is a virtual folder that intelligently gathers information

about files on the system and presents them to the users.

Instead, the users are privileged enough to view similar files together irrespective of their location in the physical memory.

This enables retrieval of files based on various parameters. This concept is named as CAROUSEL VIEW after the proposed system with the same name to be launched by the Microsoft’s Windows Longhorn which is a complete revolution in itself.

Phase 2

Phase 3

Establishes a common peer to peer (P2P) protocol that enables remote querying over other terminals in the network.

This module allows this software to be used across the internet and also over various LANs.

Phase 4

Deals with constructing a Counter Propagation Network(CPN) and training it using supervised learning. With this the network achieves the capacity to retrieve image files from the system based on high level queries.

This is a major enhancement in comparison with the traditional methods of retrieving images. This is a highly complex module and shall be done having time constraint in place.

EXISTING SYSTEM

Management of large file systems (text and multimedia) has relied exclusively on manually entered alphanumeric annotations.

Conventional form of searching is to enter a name of a file, extension or any other related information about the file location and the file we are looking out for.

But as time progresses changes are inevitable in all fields and this field is no exception. Extensive research work is going on for past few years in these areas as well.

PROPOSED SYSTEM

Systems are beginning to emerge in both the research and commercial sectors based on 'content-based' file retrieval, a technique which explicitly manages image assets by directly representing their attributes.

This project aims at creating a system which is highly enhanced over the existing traditional ones and providing a user friendly environment.

Enhancements over the existing system

The following enhancements will be implemented in this project:

Searching is done based on content.

The P2P network supports remote querying.

Concept of FOLDERS ceases to exist.

Image retrieval based on high level queries.
