Paper Abstract:	An imagination-based image search system with spatiotemporal analyzers, “5D World PicMap,” is a new computation environment for discovering knowledge from image data by using the spatiotemporal information and user’s imagination. The main feature of this system is to dynamically create various context-dependent patterns of pictorial stories on spatiotemporal spaces according to a user’s viewpoints and imagination processes using color-combinations of images. 5D World PicMap system provides users with 5-dimensional information overview: spatiotemporal 4 dimensions plus the degenerated color dimension. The system consists of two kinds of main functions: (1) color-based image retrieval functions with dynamic query creation method, and (2) spatiotemporal visualization functions for image data with time-series multi-geographical views. This system enables general users to retrieve scenery images and information of unknown places according to their imagination; and researchers to analyze the synchronism and the time-series variation of image data with spatiotemporal information in the research fields. In this paper, we present several experimental results to examine the feasibility and applicability of our system to several fields such as geoscience, environmental analysis, cross-cultural art comparison, and so on.
