Implicit concept-based image indexing and retrieval

This paper focuses on implicit concept-based image indexing and retrieval (ICIIR), and the development of an improved method for the indexing and retrieval of images. The method involves the development of techniques to enable components of an image to be categorised on the basis of their relative importance with the image. Thus the storage of images involves an implicit, rather than an explicit, indexing scheme. Retrieval of images will then be effected by application of an algorithm based on the categorisation, which will allow relevant images to be identified and retrieved accurately and efficiently.
