Content-based image retrieval systems: A survey
Remco C. Veltkamp, Marius Radu Tănase · Utrecht University Repository (Utrecht University) · 2000
In many areas of commerce, government, academia, and hospitals, large collections of digital im- ages are being created. Many of these collections are the product of digitizing existing collections of analogue photographs, diagrams, drawings, paintings, and prints. Usually, the only way of search- ing these collections was by keyword indexing, or simply by browsing. Digital images databases however, open the way to content-based searching. In this paper we survey some technical aspects of current content-based image retrieval systems.
