QBIC(TM) -- IBM's Query By Image Content
On-line collections of images are growing larger and more common, and
tools are needed to efficiently manage, organize, and navigate through
them. We have developed the QBIC system which lets you make
queries of large image databases based on visual
image content -- properties such as color percentages, color layout, and
textures occurring in the images. Such queries use the visual
properties of images, so you can match colors, textures and their
positions without describing them in words.
Content based queries are often combined with text and
keyword predicates to get
powerful retrieval methods for image and multimedia databases.
Check out QBIC's availability in the
DB2 Image Extenders, which are components of IBM's scalable, multimedia,
Web-enabled
DB2 Universal Database. Other related sites include
