Abstract

Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) techniques will be served as the next generation of search engine. However, even with a suitable retrieval method, real-time image retrieval from a large image database still requires extremely high computational power. In this paper, a web-based image database indexing and retrieval system is described. It uses fast CBIR with Beowulf-Class parallel computing engine (Super Abacus) to efficiently and effectively shorten the retrieval time. The content-based image retrieval with several parallel algorithms for images query from different color spaces and the compressed-domain of images are developed to achieve higher efficiency. Besides, the text-based query is also supported for images query using the conventional annotation approach.
