Abstract

Most modern image database systems employ content-based image re trieval techniques and various multi-dimensional indexing structures to speed up the query performance. While the first aspect ensures an intuitive re trieval for the user, the latter guarantees an efficient han dling of huge data amounts. How ever, beyond a system inherent threshold only the simultaneous paral lelisa tion of the indexing structure can improve the system’s performance. In such an ap proach one of the key factors is the de-clustering of the data. To tackle the high lighted issues, this pa per proposes an effective multi-dimensional in dex strat egy with de-clustering based on the vantage point tree with suitable simi lar ity measure for content-based re trieval. The conducted experiments show the effec tive and efficient behaviour for an actual image database.
