The success and the future of visual information retrieval depends on the cutting edge research and applications explored in this book. It combines the expertise from both computer vision and database research. Unlike text retrieval and text/numeric databases the challenges of image databases are enormous. How do you use \""data mining\"" to search for an image if you do not have \""key words\"" to search? Exploratory Image Databases introduces the idea that it is possible to solve this problem by merging database systems into a single search and browse.
