Significance • Query multimedia data based on image content and spatial predicates • Use domain knowledge to relax and interpret medical queries • Present integrated view of multiple temporal and evolutionary data in a timeline metaphor • Retrieve Scenario Specific Free-text documents in a Medical Digital Library
Overview • Image retrieval by feature and content • Query relaxation • Spatial query answering • Similarity query answering • Visual query interface • Timeline interface • Retrieval of scenario specific free text medical documents
Image Retrieval by Content • Features • size, shape, texture, density, histology • Spatial Relations • angle of coverage, shortest distance, overlapping ratio, contact ratio, relative direction • Evolution of Object Growth • fusion, fission
Characteristics of Medical Queries • Multimedia • Temporal • Evolutionary • Spatial • Imprecise

Case a: Case b: The object exists with its supertype or aggregated type. The life span of the object starts after and ends with its supertype or aggregated type. Case c: Case d: The life span of the object starts with and ends before its supertype or aggregated type. The life span of the object starts after and ends before its supertype or aggregated type.

Type Abstraction Hierarchy • Presents abstract view of • Types • Attribute values • Image features • Temporal and evolutionary behavior • Spatial relationships among objects • Provides multi-level knowledge representation
TAH Generation for Numerical Attribute Values • Relaxation Error • Difference between the exact value and the returned approximate value • The expected error is weighted by the probability of occurrence of each value • DISC (Distribution Sensitive Clustering) is based on the attribute values and frequency distribution of the data
TAH Generation for Numerical Attribute Values (cont.) • Computation Complexity: O(n2), where n is the number of distinct value in a cluster • DISC performs better than Biggest Cap(value only) or Max Entropy(frequency only) methods • MDISC is developed for multiple attribute TAHs. Computation Complexity: O(mn2), where m is the number of attributes

An Cooperative Query Answering Example • Query • Find the treatment used for the tumor similar-to(loc, size) X1 on 12 year-oldKorean males. • Relaxed Query • Find the treatment used for the tumor Class Xon preteenAsians. • Association • The success rate, side effects, and cost of the treatment.

Queries Query Analysis and Feature Selection Knowledge-Based Content Matching Via TAHs Query Relaxation Query Answers Knowledge-based Query Processing
User Model To customize query conditions and knowledge-based query processing • User type • Default Parameter Values • Feature and Content Matching Policies • Complete Match • Partial Match
User Model (cont.) • Relaxation Control Policies • Relaxation Order • Unrelaxable Object • Preference List • Measure for Ranking
Query Preprocessing • Segment and label contours for objects of interest • Determine relevant features and spatial relationships (e.g., location, containment, intersection) of the selected objects • Organize the features and spatial relationships of objects into a feature database • Classify the feature database into a Type Abstraction Hierarchy (TAH)
Similarity Query Answering • Determine relevant features based on query input • Select TAH based on these features • Traverse through the TAH nodes to match all the images with similar features in the database • Present the images and rank their similarity (e.g., by mean square error)
Visual Query Language and Interface • Point-click-drag interface • Objects may be represented iconically • Spatial relationships among objects are represented graphically
Visual Query Example Retrieve brain tumor cases where a tumor is located in the region as indicated in the picture
Implementation • Sun Sparc 20 workstations (128 MB RAM, 24-bit frame buffer) • Oracle Database Management System • X/Motif Development Environment, C++ • Mass Storage of Images (9 GB)
Summary I • Image retrieval by feature and content • Matching and relaxation images based on features • Processing of queries based on spatial relationships among objects • Answering of imprecise queries • Expression of queries via visual query language • Integrated view of temporal multimedia data in a timeline metaphor
