	abstract =	{This paper introduces Pissaro (Perceptual Image Similarity
	And Retrieval Online), a web based image retrieval system designed for
	combining, evaluating and comparing Content Based Image Retrieval
	(CBIR) techniques. The need for a query interface which allows the user
	to understand both query and subsequent retrievals is identified and
	implemented together with a stackable mosaic approach to query design
	which gives the benefit of pre-calculated features whilst allowing the
	user to paint queries. Several colour and texture based feature
	extraction methods are evaluated for CBIR including a new Perceptual
	Colour Histogram. Finally, the suitability of the stackable mosaic
	approach is demonstrated using colour and texture query combinations.},
