abstract = {We describe the Photobook system, which is a set of
interactive tools for browsing and searching images and image
sequences. These query tools differ from those used in standard image
databases in that they make direct use of the image content rather than
relying on text annotations. Direct search on image content is made
possible by use of semantics-preserving image compression, which
reduces images to a small set of perceptually-significant coefficients.
We discuss three types of Photobook descriptions in detail: one that
allows search based on appearance, one that uses 2-D shape, and a third
that allows search based on textural properties. These image content
descriptions can be combined with each other and with text-based
descriptions to provide a sophisticated browsing and search capability.
In this paper we demonstrate Photobook on databases containing images
of people, video keyframes, hand tools, fish, texture swatches, and 3-D
medical data.},
