LIS Perspective on Multimedia Information Retrieval Techniques: A Critical Analysis

Abstract

Multimedia information retrieval (MIR) ongoing research challenge for the domain of computer science, electronics, and Library and Information Science (LIS). The content-based retrieval of multimedia information is active research in computer science for the last decade. LIS domain is slowly moving away from MIR research and becoming an end user to use the tools and theories generated by computer science. The present paper brief discusses the various components and classifications of the MIR. It discusses analytically LIS perspective on text, image, audio and video information techniques. Finally, it suggested a research gap in MIR where LIS domain seriously contributed in developing and upgrading existing applications.
