Fabrizio Falchi, Claudio Lucchese, Salvatore Orlando, Raffaele Perego, Fausto Rabitti · 2008
Similarity search in metric spaces is a general paradigm that can be used in several application fields. It can also be effectively exploited in content-based image retrieval systems, which are shifting their target towards the Web-scale dimension. In this context, an important issue becomes the design of scalable solutions, which combine parallel and distributed architectures with caching at several levels.
