Abstract

Introductory computer science courses cover certain content like arrays, loops, sorting, etc. There is evidence that students enjoy working with media (e.g. images, video, sound) and it keeps them interested in the course material [1]. This paper introduces ways in which core content covered in introductory computer science courses is used in Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) systems. We also provide specific programming assignments that are intended to be engaging to the students while requiring them to show their mastery of the course content. This CBIR content and related programming assignments are intended to achieve two goals. One goal is to increase student interest and another goal is to introduce them to an active research area.
