Abstract

Multimedia databases get larger and larger in our days. There are various aspects that affect the demand for efficient database techniques to manage the flood of multimedia data, namely the increasing number of objects, the increasing complexity of objects. Whereas traditional indexing structures cope with large numbers of simple objects, complex multimedia objects require more sophisticated indexing techniques. In this paper we discuss the current state-of-the-art of various indexing technique as seen from content-based image retrieval point of view and proposed a novel approach named Hierarchical Hash Grid Indexing structure which has excellent performance and capable of handling huge number of images with less response time.
