Abstract

See full text

An image search apparatus acquires associative words in relation to an input query word, and makes a keyword search of image information on the basis of the obtained associative words and input query word. Parallel to the keyword search, the apparatus acquires a query word and sensory patterns corresponding to the query word, and makes a feature amount search using the feature amounts of the obtained sensory patterns. A search result integration process integrates these search results at weight ratios which are set in advance to obtain final search results. In this manner, the multimedia information wanted can be accurately extracted with respect to the input query word.
