 Four Phases

Phase 4
Content Based Image Retrieval

Phase 3
Establishing P2P protocol

Phase 2
Developing Carousel view

Phase 1
Summarizing and Indexing files.
 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.
 Phase 2

 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 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.
