In this paper, we describe a prototype image retrieval system for distributed
environments based on 2D Projection Interval Relationships (2D-PIR).
The system transforms an image to a symbolic representation that
describes spatial relationships among objects in the image. The image
database consists of three parts: the real image repository (which is
distributed) and the symbolic and iconic image repositories
(which are stored locally). We describe the result
of experiments on a small image database which compare the performance
of our system against a keyword-based retrieval system and also against
other content-based image retrieval systems.
