Finding similar images in a large database is an important, but often computationally expensive, task. In this paper, we present a two-tier similar-image retrieval system with the...
The issue of ®nding similar 3-D surface segments arises in many recent applications of spatial database systems, such as molecular biology, medical imaging, CAD, and geographic i...
Abstract. Efficient image retrieval from large image databases is a challenging problem. In this paper we present a method offering constant time complexity for the comparison of t...
We have developed a novel system for content-based image retrieval in large, unannotated databases. The system is called PicSOM, and it is based on tree structured self-organizing...

If an image should be retrieved by its subregions from a large image database, an immense number of possible queries will appear. Therefore, the index which encodes the spatial in...
