Abstract :
In this paper we present several approaches to browsing large image databases. The fundamental idea of how to arrange images is based on their visual similarity so that images that are similar get placed close to each other in the navigation environment. A hierarchical structure of the database coupled with arrangement of images on a regular lattice both avoids images overlapping and allows efficient and effective access to large image collections.
