Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This paper proposes a group-based image retrieval method for video annotation systems. Although the wide spread use of video camera recorders
has increased the demand for an automated annotation system for personal
videos, conventional image retrieval methods cannot achieve
enough accuracy to be used as an annotation engine. Personal video's degraded image makes the retrieval task difficult. To cope with this difficulty, this research paper proposes a group-based image retrieval method. Its characteristics are
1) the use of Earth Mover's Distance (EMD) on wavelet transformation-based image features, and
2) the pre-grouping of related images and screening using group information.
Experimental results show that the
proposed method can improve image retrieval accuracy to 85\%
up from the conventional method of 30\%.
