Visual Information Retrieval

Summary: Good travel by the whole field of the VIR. Many References.
Review: Es un buen recorrido por el estado del arte (antes de 2000) en cuanto al VIR. Recomendado para iniciarte y sobre todo para estudiantes de ingeniería informática que quieran adentrarse en la recuperación de información multimedia. Para los estudiantes de doctorado es excelente porque para mi lo mejor es la ingesta cantidad de referencias bibliográficas y documentales que contiene cada capítulo.

Summary: A good reference book for visual information retrieval
Review: The book is an excelent source of updated references in the field of visual information retrieval. It covers important issues such as retrieving images by color, texture and shape information, among others. It would be an outstanding work if the technical information were more detailed, including algorithms. Nevertheless, it describes the most significant software for the problem and provides a complete list of references for further reading.

Summary: Good Introduction to VIR
Review: There are only two books which cover the
principles of this area. Other books such
as conference proceedings require the user
to already be an expert.

The other book by Prof. Lew is best at covering
the state of the art and is appropriate for
the graduate student level.

Prof. Del Bimbo's book gives a better introduction to
the subject and is most appropriate for the
undergraduate level.

Summary: Guide for researchers in VIR
Review: This book is intended for graduate students. Particularly, researchers trying to develop VIRS. The book provides many good references for further reading. I hope that in the future, book like this will be in large amount, each explaining different/ specific area in depth. Basically, you want to get several ideas in developing your system with the most updated information. I`m quite satisfy for the time being. This book is definitely worth to buy!
