R*-Tree Based Similarity and Clustering Analysis for Images

Image content analysis has found many applications in various domains (such as in biomedical science) and plays an important role for adaptive multimedia retrieval. In order to effectively analyze the image contents, first we should be able to access and manipulate the images themselves (rather than staying with the metadata description of the images). Research effort has been made in this regard. For example, ABSTRACT
