CORTINA: Searching a 10 Million + Images Database

We present an image search and retrieval system, Cortina, that indexes over 10 Million images using image content, text and annotations. This large collection of image data, gathered from the World Wide Web (WWW), poses significant challenges to automated image analysis, pattern recognition and database indexing. At the systems level, the components of Cortina include building image collections using a Web crawler, collecting category information and
