Classification and Retrieval of Images from Databases Using Rough Set Theory - Distributed Artificial Intelligence, Agent Technology, and Collaborative Applications - page 195

techniques in application area of multimedia processing, in particular image classification and retrieval
has become one of the most important ways of research of intelligent information processing. Neural
network shows us its strong ability to solve complex problems for many multimedia processing. From
the perspective of the specific rough sets approaches that need to be applied, explorations into pos-
sible applications of hybridize rough sets with other intelligent systems like neural networks, genetic
algorithms, fuzzy approaches, etc., to multimedia processing and content-based information system, in
particulars in multimedia computing problems could lead to new and interesting avenues of research
and it is always a challenge for the CI researchers.
