Abstract :
The paper presents an interactive system for the organization and retrieval of images from a database based on color distributions and simple geometric properties of clustered image regions. The system creates its internal query representation based on color sketches, visual examples, and on a memory of previous queries. Experimental evidence relating system performance to human expectation is discussed
