Rapid and Reliable Content Based Image Retrieval

The paper concerns an open problem in the area of Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) . A new constructive method is proposed for an effective CBIR indexing, either a fast or noise tolerant one as well as well suitable to the conventional Database (DB) specifics of Images’ keeping (IDB). The method’s consistency is proved by analysis of both the most spread viewpoints on CBIR, the IDB viewpoint and the computer vision one. Different techniques based on the method are briefly described and results of their real tests by an Experimental Image Retrieval System are also committed.
