This thesis addresses the question of content-based image retrieval (CBIR) in heterogeneous databases. In an analysis of the existing CBIR tools that was done at the beginning of this work, we have shown that there was room for improvement in three key areas: query form, image and query representation, and computation of similarity. This analysis led us to studying the usability of a method for...
