abstract = {This paper describes several methods for improving query
evaluation speed in a content-based image retrieval system (CBIRS).
Response time is an extremely important factor in determining the
usefulness of any interactive system, as has been demonstrated by human
factors studies over the past thirty years. In particular, response
times of less than one second are often specified as a usability
requirement. It is shown that the use of inverted files facilitates
the reduction of query evaluation time without significantly reducing
the accuracy of the response. The performance of the system is
evaluated using precision \vs recall graphs, which are an established
evaluation method in information retrieval (IR), and are beginning to
be used by CBIR researchers.},
