Visual Information Retrieval Using Java and LIRE - Synthesis Lectures on Information Concepts, Retrieval, and Services Mathias Lux

Focuses on a subset of visual information retrieval (VIR) problems where the media consists of images, and the indexing and retrieval methods are based on the pixel contents of those images -- an approach known as content-based image retrieval (CBIR). The book presents an implementation-oriented overview of CBIR concepts, techniques, algorithms, and figures of merit.
