PIBE is an adaptive image
browsing system, which aims to provide users with an intuitive,
easy-to-use, structured view of the images in a collection and
complements it with ideas from the field of adaptable content-based
similarity search.
In particular, PIBE provides users with a hierarchical view of images
(the Browsing Tree) that can be customized according to user
preferences. A key feature of PIBE is that it maintains local
similarity criteria for each portion of the Browsing Tree. This makes
it possible both to avoid costly global reorganization upon execution
of user actions and, combined with a persistent storage of the Browsing
Tree (BT), to efficiently support multiple browsing tasks.
More in details, PIBE user
interface provides a set of graphical personalization actions
that can be used to modify the BT. The effects of such actions are
defined so as to guarantee that only a "local" reorganization of the
image DB is required.
