Content-Based Image Indexing

Summary: Recasts content-based image retrieval as multidimensional nearest-neighbor search. An adaptive optimistic vantage-point tree exploits query characteristics, often examining under 20% of index entries for well-behaved queries, with extensive workload/configuration analysis.
