ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for retrieving image objects in accordance with a natural language sentence according to the present invention includes: an input section for receiving a natural language sentence; a language processing section for parsing the natural language sentence by referring to a dictionary for language analysis so as to obtain a syntactic structure of the natural language sentence; a situation element division section for converting the syntactic structure of the natural language sentence into a semantic structure of the natural language sentence and for dividing a situation represented by the semantic structure of the natural language sentence into at least one situation element by referring to a situation element division knowledge base; an image database for storing at least one image object corresponding to the at least one situation element; and a retrieval section for retrieving at least one image object from the image database by using the situation element as an image retrieval key.
