Probabilistic retrieval: new insights and experimental results

We present new insights on the relations between a recently introduced probabilistic formulation of the content-based retrieval problem and standard solutions. New experimental results are presented, providing evidence that probabilistic retrieval has superior performance. Finally, a unified representation for texture and color is introduced.
