Content based retrival in intermedia

If I have human bodies stored in intermedia. Like for each person one image of his body. Can I go and run a query show me all those bodies that have a particular kind of dot in the body[the real images are more complicated than this we are storing hearts, lungs etc]. I want to do kind of do ultra search like show me all resume with "oracle" keyword - the way we do in oracletext.
What I know, it can be done if I include it as an additional column in the table storing the image column. But here we do not know what a user will search so really i should be able to search on the content of the image.
Also, can I store word or pdf files in Intermedia and do search on their contents or do I need Oracletext for this functionality. I want to save these files in database and allow query on its content.
Please answer these questions as my project is highly classified and we should be able to do all of the above else we need to change our approach to see what we can and what we can not.
Thanks.

The content based image query capabilitys work on
. Color
. Texture
. Shape
So, you can search on images that have similar colors, or similar textures (like a plaid versus a paisly), or similar shapes (circle, square etc.) or a combination of the above. It cannot do things like return me the pictures of cars, or return me the pictures with 10 dots on a body. So far, this has been used for fabric, wall paper etc... finding and searching (find me a fabric with a similar pattern and different colors, or similar colors and different patterns).
I don't know what kind of "dot" you are looking for, but if you have pictures of the dots and want to compare the shape of the dots, we might be able to do that, but I am not sure if the results will be what you need or not.
If you have a picture of the body, and expect interMedia to focus on the dots, I really don't think there is any way that would work. But if you have pictures of just the dots, and you are comparing the shapes of dots, it might work.
The only way you will know for sure is to try it out. Without knowing exactly what you are doing, I am a little septical it will be what you need. I am thinking forensic
As for the search capabilities, you do need Oracle Text to be able to do the text based ("contains") queries.

Content-based image retrieval

I am doing a research project of content-based image retrival using oralce92. I am interested in using Oracle's content-based retrieval feature for images.Can anyone tell me more about how the feature vectors or signatures are created from the color, texture, and shape in an image? Is there any way to extract these feature vector.
Also, when two images are compared, the similarity measure is calculated as the score or distance between their attributes. What type of distance is used (e.g. Euclidean, Manhattan)?
Thank you

I am also considering CBIR for mu thesis work, but as far as I have done the first scan of literature, tools, ongoing open source projects and work of big companies in this area, now I have some impression that is is somehow the theme of past. There was nice Oracle8 extension (and also documentation) from Virage, but not it is hardly to find anything about this in their homepage. From the research point of view this can be nice theme - special algorithm, indices and so on, but - there can be problems with application. However - in thi first half of this year some guys from Google published nice articel of Visual PageRank and I guess - if Google will go to stand for this theme, then there can be some interest from big DBMS vendors as well.

Content based retrieval

Hello Forum,
I'm wondering if it is possible to search for similar images in the database. Google gives some links to Oracle interMedia User's Guide and Reference Release 9.0.1 where chapter 2 is labeled "Content-Based Retrieval Concepts". So now I'm looking for this feature in the documentation for Oracle Multimedia Release 11.2 but I'm wasn't able to find anything.
Is the search for similar images not possible anymore in 11g?
What I'm planning to do is the following:
I want to store scanned images (advertisements) into the database and link them to the advertiser. If I get a new image, I want to search the database to see if it's already tagged so that I can get to the corresponding advertiser.
Since scanned images are never completely equal, I have to find similar images and show the most similar one.
Can someone gibe me a hint where I can find the documentation for the methods necessary for that?
Thanks in advance,
dhalek

Hello Brian,
I found the documentation but Oracle doesn't give any useful examples.
I'm guessing that I have to use SI_FeatureList to get the wanted results. Are there some examples available? I'm interested in information on how to index feature lists in order to get the ten best matching images for a given image. I hope there is a way to avoid calculating the score for every image in the database.

dhalek

Sender SMTP Adapter / Content Based Routing / Mapping of an attachement

Hi all,
I'm still working on my SMTP --> PI --> Proxy scenario (asynchronous). I've tried several different properties of my sender communication channel (type = mail), but I didn't find the correct configuration. Hopefully it exists.
I'm working with PI 7.0 SP10.
I get an inbound message via Mail using sender SOAP Adapter. The message payload itself is an attachement. Now I'd like to do the following:
a) Content Based Routing in Receiver Determination based on the message subject
b) Mapping of the Attachement XML message to my inbound proxy interface
Now, trying to do so, I didn't get it work. When I use XIPAYLOAD with keep attachements, I get two attachements in my inbound message (one in XI mail package format having the subject within, one with the IDoc structure I'd like to map). How can I assign the second attachement to be used for my message mapping?
When I use XIALL instead of XIPAYLOAD, I think the mapping will work but my subject for content based routing will be lost, right? That one I didn't get running because of another failure, so I don't know the exact behaviour of the adapter for that configuration.
Anybody out there who know the correct configuration for the sender mail adapter for my small scenario above?
BR
Holger

Hi Stefan,
sorry for misunderstanding, for sure I'm using the mail adapter, not the SOAP Adapter. I'm actually on the same direction. I'm using XIPAYLOAD as message protocoll (having the attachement as the content for the mapping --> correct). Furthermore I've also found the predefined context objects for the content based routing receiver determination.
What I missed was setting the following properties in the communication channel:
To store adapter attributes in the message header of the XI message, set the Set Adapter-Specific Message Attributes indicator.
The following attributes are added to the XI message header if the sender makes them available, and if the Variable Transport Binding indicator is set.
Now it's working

Content Based Correlation in Oracle 11g

Dear Veterans!!!
I am working on the following use-case.
An order processor accepts order(Mode-Buy/Sell, Price, Quantity) on webservice from various customers, and presents them to DecisionService, after adding the order Id to it. The decision service would check if the price*quantity > 1000, if so the response is sent as (Order ID, OrderStatus="Fail") else, sends (Order ID, OrderStatus="Success").
What I want to do?
Now I need to create Order Processor using single JMS Adapter with Interaction type "Asynchronous Request/Reply" using content based.
What I have been able to do?
I have been able to do content-based Correlation between Decision Service BPEL and Order Processor BPEL, where Order Processor has two JMS Adapters, One Producer which enqueues the order for Decision Service, setting the orderId as correlation. The another JMS Adapter is set as Consumer and recieve activity is registered with it and picks up the response after correlating the message.
Also I have been able to do the "native correlation" scenario, using Decision Service as mediation module.
What is the problem?
1. I need to have the decision service as BPEL, and be able to do the native correlation, which I wonder how to do, because the Jdeveloper 11g has removed support for Adapter Header variables.
2. I need to use decision service as BPEL and be able to do the content-based correlation, using a single Asyncronous Request/Reply JMS Adapter instead of two (Producer and consumer).
Any Pointers shall be useful.
Many Thanks,
Regards,
SwapSawe.
I am aware of how to set the correlation
http://swapnil-soa.blogspot.com/2008/01/correlation-this-post-would-effort-to.html
And how to do it in Oracle 11g
http://biemond.blogspot.com/2009/10/jms-request-reply-interaction-pattern.html
Edited by: SwapSawe on Nov 30, 2009 11:01 PM

Dear Friends,
If I was not able to make my point clear, I would explain it again. I am posting message from one BPEL process to an Asynchronous Request/Reply JMS Adapter.
A consumer JMS Adapter, would read the message from Q and would initiate another BPEL process, which would perform some business logic to generate a response and post it to reply queue via JMS Producer.
Now the reply posted, is picked up by the Async Request/Reply, but the receive activity is unable to correlate the message.
I was able to do this scenario using native correlation, i.e. JMS Message Id mapped to JMS Correlation Id, through mediation module. But I am looking forward to do this using content based correlation.

SwapSawe

Content based Routing?

Hi Forum,
I've looked through the messages regarding content based routing or similar's but the answers did not satisfy my needs. I have an XSLT mapping from a flat file structure to an IDOC. To qualify the receiving system I have to do a database lookup in my XSLT mapping by a Java extension function with combining some of the inputfields. The result of this database lookup is the Receiver System. How can I use this result in the condition Editor for the receiver determination. I can only use here the Nodes from the inputmessage. Are there other ways to have access to a "global Container" where I can store the results from the databaselookup to use them here?
Thanks for you patience
Manfred Schmidt-Voigt

Hi,
If the outbound adapter is a j2ee adapter, you can write a module which performs the lookup in a database or what ever. Then alter the message and add the information looked up.
The easy way would be to add an extra attribute on the root node and add the content of the lookup in this field.
I whould though prefere to use add the information to my root node.
If you are not that keen on adapter development, the send the message into a bpm where you perform a lookup. This could probably be performed useing one of SP13's lookup functions. The BPM should only consist of a recieve and a send step. When sending the message you should be able to perform the routing.

Content based routing in PI 7.1?

Hi Guys,
For the normal content based routing in PI 7.1 in the receiver determination step once i select the conditin and in the condition editor to choose the filed, i dont see any interface under the xpath.
I dont have any search help option in the xpath column
any help or suggestions would be appreciated
Thanks,
Raj

Hi Raj,
Try the steps which I am giving below, although it's a workaround and don't know the exact reason why it is failing.
1. Open your Outbound Message Interface (which you are using in your Receiver Determination) in IR, edit it and change the Interface pattern (which is there just below the category "Outbound") to "Stateless (XI30 - Compatible)" , save it activate it.
2. Follow the same step for your Inbound Message Interface. Change the Interface Pattern from "Sateless" to "Stateless (XI30 - Compatible)" .
3. Go to ID. Remove your Outbound and Inbound Message Interface from their respective Business Service/Comp and add it again.
4. Create your your receiver determination again using the Outbound and Inbound MI you have changed.
5. Open condition editor of your receiver determination.You should be able to see your Message Interface and can choose the XPath.
Follow the above steps carefully. It took me an hour to find this workaround. Let me know if it works.
Thanks

ABAP stack configuration for content based message search in PI 7.

Hi experts,
I am trying to eanble Content based message search in PI7.11 SP10.
My requirement is to Filter message in PI moni based on a particular DeviceID field in the paylaod.I have set filters in SXMS_LMS_CONF.
But upon testing the extractor, the messages are extarcted based on the interface mentioned in the filter criteria, and not the particluar field of the message.
I have referred a few bolgs on this topic , but could not find a relevant solution to my issue. Am i missing any configurations in this? Or is his not possible without TREX.
Could anyone suggest a solution for this.
Thanks.

Filter
Extractor:
XPath: nm:XXXXXCreateRequest/MeterReadingDocument/UtiltiesMeasurementTask/UtiltiesDevice/UtilitiesDeviceID

Performance impact of Content based message search in IE

Hello Experts,
I am working on implementing Content based message search in IE in PI 7.0 and PI 7.1 landscape.
All the configurations are done and its working fine in Development scenario.
I need help in identifying , how this actually works on technical level as in how the messages are getting searched based on the filter criteria, if there is any table getting created in background and values are getting stored etc.
And also how could this impact the overall performance after implementing it in Production system.
Thanks in advance!
Warm Regards,
Lisin

Hi Lisin
Not sure about 7.0/1 but for 7.4 these are the tables.(most probably tables should be same)
When you configure a filter for UDMS search on ABAP stack(Tcod: sxms_lms_conf)
Entries will be created in the following backed ABAP tables. (you can go to se16 and check the entries).
SXMS_LMS_EXTR
SXMS_EXT_FIL
SXMS_NSPREFIX
Data will be stored in this table
SXMSPDATA
When you configure a UDMS filter in RWB(java stack), entries will be created in the following backend tables
XI_AF_LMS_EXTRACTR
XI_AF_LMS_FILTER
Data will be stored in the table (only the message id, direction, key field,value and position)
XI_AF_LMS_DATA
We have UDMS configured in our production system, and i never saw any performance issue.

Payload Content Based Search in PI

Hello Experts,
We are trying to implement Payload contenet based search functionality in our PI enviroemnt.
One of the approch I can across is to have the message index using TREX index engine. This would allow us to do the message content based search from RWB itself.
Can somebody give me a idea of how much does it take to have lience and configuration set up of TREX engine? Also, any link to a "How to guide" or any blog will be greatly appreciated.
The other approch I could find out on SDN was to have a ABAP report to achieve the same.But, it is only recomended for a system where messages flowing through the system are very low.
I would really appreciate If anybody can help me with more information or available documentation.

Oracle ESB - Message routing support & content based routing

Hi Friends,
Can anyone please let me know how message routing and content based routing is happening in Oracle ESB.

Content based routing and XML with multiple objects

I have some structure:
<contracts>
<contract>
     <department>1</department>
</contract>
<contract>
     <department>1</department>
   </contract>
<contract>
     <department>2</department>
   </contract>
</contracts>
I need to route contract to 2 system based on <department> value:
contracts/department = 1 --> System1
contracts/department = 2 --> System2
Will XI split my XML (based on Content Routing rules in ID) into 2 structures (with departmet=1 and department=2 accordingly) ?
Or I have to perform 1ToN mapping? I don't like it bacause it will be diffucult to monitor hundred of messages.

Alternatively if you donot like 1:n mapping and BPM.
Create two message mappings in the IR
1.Source :<contracts>
<contract>
<department>1</department>
</contract>
<contract>
<department>1</department>
</contract>
<contract>
<department>2</department>
</contract>
</contracts>
Target:
<contracts>
<contract>
<department>1</department>
</contract>
<contract>
<department>1</department>
</contract>
Basically mapping generates a target structure which has only department 1.
2.Same like step1 but the mapping should generate the XML with department = 2.
Once requires steps are done in the ID , do the content based routing in the reciever determination and give the appropraite message mapping in the interface determination.
That should your problem and also you will like doing it as it does not involve any split level mapping..:)

Content Based Routing in ESB

Hi All ,
I needed some help on the content based routing feature in ESB .
I have an ESB Process in which Data is extracted from a Database(using Select operation) and I have a column X based on whose content I want to invoke the next set of target services . I had assumed having 3 different routing rules with the Filter expression based on the content of X will do the work .This works only when I have one record for a batch of records it doesnot work .
Wanted to know how does it evaluate for a scenario where we have multiple records in a payload with the value of the column on which we are doing content based routing varrying across the payload ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
As James stated esb is processing the incomming recordset as one message so it applies your xpath expression to that message as a whole. Anyway, in your case, if you want to process records from a database table one record at the time i would go for the db polling mechanism and change my database model to include a logical delete column (eg a column processed which contains a Y or a N). You can not split a multiple record message in esb itself into separate messages for each record.
Kind Regards,
Andre

Diplaying region content based on multiple selection lists

Hi,
I have 3 select list on submit(P1A, P1B, P1C). And i have 3 report regions.
now this is the scenario. the 3 select lists are on submit.
the P1C is a dynamic list which shows contents based on the selection from P1A and/or P1B. so this is how my P1C LOV looks like
SELECT DISTINCT COLLECTION d, COLLECTION v
FROM viewvs
WHERE (YEAR = :P1A OR :P1A= '-1' )
AND (SEASON = :P1B OR :P1B= '-1' )
ORDER BY d i also have a 3 report regions which display result based on P1C selection.
now when i select P1C then i am able to see the 3 regions. and when i go back and change P1A and/or P1B, then P1C changes output. and the 3 regions should not show any data unless i again select one from P1C but, the 3 regions still hold on to the previous data.
what i am trying to say is, when the regions should display data only when P1C is selected, and when any of P1A or P1B is changed the regions should disappear and should not display any data, but instead the 3 regions show the previous data unless a new selection is done.
How can i clear the report region when everytime a new value is selected from P1A and/or P1B.
also the below is part of what i have entered in the report regions
IF :P1C != 'NULL' THEN
--DISPLAY THESE VALUES
END IF;---------
this is what i found the latest. whats happeneing is
when i select listA, listB-- listC gets populated and when i select from listC based on that value which gets stored in session state, report regions get displayed
but when i go back and change selection in listA, listB
by default listC session value should go to NULL, and only after i make a new selection, then with this new session value for listC, the report regions get displayed.
but when i checked the session value for listC, it still remains the same old value from the previous selection, because i haven't nade new selection and thats why the report regions are still showing the old result.
so how can i remove this session value for listC after displaying the report results.
Thanks,
Philip.

There is nothing wrong with your code, so I'd look elsewhere for the problem. Is this a direct copy of what you have on your page?
:P1_COMBO1 in ('Option 1', 'Option 2')
And
:P1_COMBO2 = 'Option Combo 2'And the page item values are exactly as you have in the quoted strings? You might run the page in debug and confirm the page item values are exact.
