An Information Retrieval Approach for Image Databases

Summary: IR view of image databases treats retrieval as uncertain due to multiple interpretations and graded relevance. Proposes retrieval models, query languages, and access structures for imprecise queries and user-defined importance to improve image retrieval. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
