Query by image and video content: the QBIC system
Myron D. Flickner,Harpreet Sawhney,W. Niblack,Jonathan Ashley,Qian Huang,Byron Dom,Monika Gorkani,James Lee Hafner,D. Lee,Dragutin Petkovic,David Steele,Peter Cornelius Yanker +11 more
TL;DR: The Query by Image Content (QBIC) system as discussed by the authors allows queries on large image and video databases based on example images, user-constructed sketches and drawings, selected color and texture patterns, camera and object motion, and other graphical information.

Query by image and video content: the QBIC system
Myron D. Flickner,Harpreet Sawhney,W. Niblack,Jonathan Ashley,Qian Huang,Byron Dom,Monika Gorkani,James Lee Hafner,D. Lee,Dragutin Petkovic,David Steele,Peter Cornelius Yanker +11 more
TL;DR: The Query by Image Content (QBIC) system as mentioned in this paper allows queries on large image and video databases based on example images, user-constructed sketches and drawings, selected color and texture patterns, camera and object motion, and other graphical information.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient and effective querying by image content
Christos Faloutsos,R. Barber,Myron D. Flickner,James Lee Hafner,W. Niblack,Dragutin Petkovic,W. Equitz +6 more
TL;DR: A set of novel features and similarity measures allowing query by image content, together with the QBIC system, and a new theorem that makes efficient filtering possible by bounding the non-Euclidean, full cross-term quadratic distance expression with a simple Euclidean distance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient color histogram indexing for quadratic form distance functions
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed the use of low-dimensional, simple to compute distance measures between the color distributions, and showed that these are lower bounds on the histogram distance measure.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Towards heterogeneous multimedia information systems: the Garlic approach
Michael J. Carey,Laura M. Haas,Peter Schwarz,M. Arya,William F. Cody,Ronald Fagin,Myron D. Flickner,Allen Luniewski,W. Niblack,Dragutin Petkovic,John C. Thomas,John H. Williams,Edward L. Wimmers +12 more
TL;DR: The Garlic architecture is designed to be extensible to new kinds of data repositories, and access efficiency is addressed via a "middleware" query processor that uses database query optimization techniques to exploit the native associative search capabilities of the underlying data repositories.
