This paper reports a new method for retrieving landscape images using a sketch and icons as a query. Based on the proposal, first, a user sketches lines expressing contours of landscape elements such as mountains and forests and attaches icons expressing landscape elements to the sketch. Second, whether individual images in a database match with the layout expressed by the sketch and icons is judged with principal component analysis and pattern recognition. From experimental results, we have confirmed that the proportion of the correct images ranked within top 10 of retrieval results is 80% in an average.
