Images are commonly used on a daily basis for research, information and entertainment. The introduction of digital cameras and especially the incorporation of cameras in mobile phones makes people able to snap photos almost everywhere at any time since their mobile phone is almost always brought with them.
The fast evolution in hardware enables users to store large image collection without high costs. Making use of these image collections requires efficient image retrieval techniques. Traditional image retrieval techniques like text-based image retrieval and content-based image retrieval techniques have shortcomings. New techniques or combination of existing techniques must be established to provide users with adequate image retrieval functionality.
This thesis describes two systems enabling users to retrieve information such as images, textual information, WAP-links or videos using SMS or MMS.
One of the services, M2S is meant for tourists to retrieve information about attractions in Lofoten. M2S uses content-based image retrieval to retrieve the information requested. This service is designed and implemented in cooperation with Telenor R&I.
The other system, CAIR is meant for users who want to retrieve images from an image collection using SMS. CAIR uses a context-based image retrieval to retrieve images. This system is designed, but not yet implemented.

Ice intelligence retrieval by remote sensing - Possibilities and challenges in an operational setting
Skarbø, Runa A.; Løset, Sveinung (Peer reviewed; Bokkapittel; Chapter, 2017)Detecting ice drift velocity when operating offshore in ice-covered waters is crucial during marine operations, as ice actions affect station keeping and ice management. Furthermore, other ice data/intelligence such as ice concentration and thickness are important parameters to determine ice resistance, evaluate performance of icebreakers and predict ice actions on structures. Different sensors are ... -
Harvest : a collaborative system for distributed retrieval of social data
Kreutzer, Tor (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2012-06-11)In recent years, social network providers has become one of the largest industries in the world. These networks created a new arena for sharing information over the Internet, and thus changed the way people interact with each other. Hundreds of millions of social network users are updating statuses and sending messages to each other every day. These interactions produce vast amounts of social data. ... -
HealthTrust: A Social Network Approach for Retrieving Online Health Videos
Fernandez-Luque, Luis; Karlsen, Randi; Melton, Genevieve B (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)Background: Social media are becoming mainstream in the health domain. Despite the large volume of accurate and trustworthy health information available on social media platforms, finding good-quality health information can be difficult. Misleading health information can often be popular (eg, antivaccination videos) and therefore highly rated by general search engines. We believe that community ...
