✦ Synopsis

There is a growing need for the ability to query image databases based on similarity of image content rather than strict keyword search. As distance computations can be expensive, there is a need for indexing systems and algorithms that can eliminate candidate images without performing distance calculations. As user needs may change from session to session, there is also a need for runtime creation of distance measures. In this paper, we present FIDS, "flexible image database system." FIDS allows the user to query the database based on complex combinations of dozens of predefined distance measures. Using an indexing scheme and algorithms based on the triangle inequality, FIDS can often return matches to the query image without directly comparing the query image to more than a small percentage of the database. This paper describes the technical contributions of the FIDS approach to content-based image retrieval.

It is often difficult to come up with a well-principled approach to the selection of low-level features for characterizing images for content-based retrieval. This is particularly true for medical imagery, where gross characterizations on the basis of color and other global properties do not work. A

It is now recognized in many domains that content-based image retrieval from a database of images cannot be carried out by using completely automated approaches. One such domain is medical radiology for which the clinically useful information in an image typically consists of gray level variations i

## Abstract Content‐based image retrieval is based on the idea of extracting visual features from image and using them to index images in a database. The comparisons that determine similarity between images depend on the representations of the features and the definition of appropriate distance fun

Most of the current image retrieval systems use "one-shot" queries to a database to retrieve similar images. Typically a Knearest neighbor kind of algorithm is used, where weights measuring feature importance along each input dimension remain fixed (or manually tweaked by the user), in the computati
