This talk will present three inter-related research projects in content-based image indexing, retrieval and visualization: (1) a new shape based image retrieval technique based on the Generic Fourier Descriptor; (2) a colour based image retrieval based on vector quantization; and (3) visualization of large image database. The techniques presented are equally applicable for managing video data.
