SOFIA: An Image Database with Image Retrieval by Image Content

In the paper an image database system (named SOFIA) with a powerful image retrieval by image features and image content is described. A set of novel image indexing mechanism is proposed. A query by colour, shape, image description and image element description is developed. The SOFIA system is been implemented on IBM PC using Borland C++ under Windows 3.1.
