	abstract =	{In current image retrieval systems the user refines his
	query by selecting example images from a relevance ranking. Since the
	top ranked images are all similar, user feedback often results in
	rearragement of the presented images only. The Filter Image Browsing
	method provides better incorporation of user interaction in the
	retrieval process, because it is based on differences between images
	rather than similarities. Filter Image Browsing presents overviews of
	the database to users and lets them iteratively zoom in on parts of the
	image collection. In contrast to many papers where a new system is just
	introduced, we performed an extensive evalutation of the methods
	presented using a user simulation. Results for a database containing
	10,000 images show that Filter Image Browsing requires less effort from
	the user. The implementation of Filter Image Brosing in the ImageRETRO
	system is accessible via the Web.},
