ABSTRACT

Emergence is a phenomenon where we study the implicit or hidden meaning of an image. We introduce this concept in image database access and retrieval of images using this as an index for retrieval. This would give an entirely different search outcome than ordinary search where emergence is not considered, as consideration of hidden meanings could change the index of search. We discuss emergence, emergence index and structure and construction of emergence index in this paper.

Keywords: Content-Based Image Retrieval, Image Databases, Emergence Index
