ImgSeek
Encyclopedia
imgSeek is a photo collection manager and viewer with content-based search
and many other features. The query is expressed either as a rough sketch painted by the user or as another image. The searching algorithm makes use of multi-resolution Haar wavelet
decomposition of the query and database images.
An open source
server-side version of the same image similarity engine found on imgSeek is also available.
A rewrite of imgSeek is currently under planning using the Eclipse RCP framework
and many other Java technologies.
Content-based image retrieval
Content-based image retrieval , also known as query by image content and content-based visual information retrieval is the application of computer vision techniques to the image retrieval problem, that is, the problem of searching for digital images in large databases....

Haar wavelet
In mathematics, the Haar wavelet is a certain sequence of rescaled "square-shaped" functions which together form a wavelet family or basis. Wavelet analysis is similar to Fourier analysis in that it allows a target function over an interval to be represented in terms of an orthonormal function basis...
