Abstract

We present a novel technique for efficient Content Based Peer to Peer Image Retrieval (CBP2PIR) that employs a Content Addressable Network (CAN). A two-stage color histogram based method is described. The first stage defines mapping into the CAN by use of a single fuzzy histogram; while the second stage completes the image retrieval process through a spatially-biased histogram. The proposed system is completely decentralized, non-flooding, and promises high image recall, while minimizing network traffic.
