The QBIC System

QBIC was developed around 1983 as an experiment in image retrieval.

The aim was to build a system for images that provide analogy to text retrieval operation ``Find documents like this one''.

The focus was on developing measures of image similarity that:

  • corresponded somewhat to human perception of "similarity"

  • were not too expensive to compute
