	abstract =	{This paper investigates clustering techniques as a method
	of organizing image databases to support popular visual management
	functions such as searching, browsing and navigation. Different types
	of hierarchical agglomerative clustering techniques are studied as a
	method of organizing features spaces as well as summarizing image
	groups by the selection of a few appropriate representatives. Retrieval
	performance using both single and multiple level hierarchies are
	experimented with and the algorithms show an interesting relationship
	between the top $k$ correct retrievals and the number of comparisons
	required. Some arguments are given to support the use of such
	cluster-based techniques for managing distributed image databases.},
