Abstract: As the volume of image data and the need of using it in various applications is growing significantly in the last days it brings a necessity of retrieval efficiency and effectiveness. Unfortunately, existing indexing methods are not applicable to a wide range of problem-oriented fields due to their operating time limitations and strong dependency on the traditional descriptors extracted from the image. To meet higher requirements, a novel distance-based indexing method for region-based image retrieval has been proposed and investigated. The method creates premises for considering embedded partitions of images to carry out the search with different refinement or roughening level and so to seek the image meaningful content.

Keywords: content image retrieval, distance matrix, indexing.
