MIRACLE: multimedia information retrieval by analysing content and learning from examples

We present a novel application for Content Based Retrieval Techniques in Electronic Commerce using Interactive Multimedia, in which visual queries play a central role. We address some of the technical issues in representing and analysing image primitive features that are the building blocks of the MIRACLE system. These can be generalized into a much broader range of applications as well. We believe that Electronic Commerce is a very promising area with much potential for growth and that it covers a spectrum of rich research topics
