MultiMatch Project - D1.1.2 - State of the Art Image Collection Overviews and Browsing

MultiMatch aims at complex, heterogeneous digital object retrieval and presentation. The development of the system implies addressing a number of significant research challenges in a multidisciplinary context. This report describes the state of the art in the development of image collection browsing and overviewing. This is motivated by the fact that such activities are complementary to search operations and may provide efficient solutions where search tools are deficient due to the lack of representative semantics within the documents.
