SEMCOG: An Object-based Image Retrieval System and Its Visual Query Interface
Summary: SEMCOG is an object-based image retrieval system with a visual query interface that unifies semantics-based and cognition-based retrieval to expand expressiveness. It mitigates sketch imprecision and generic-concept queries by supporting hybrid visual-semantic expressions and by visualizing the resulting target images. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
