Abstract

This paper describes the use of a JAVA-based interface to enable remote image-based searches. The database used for our target system, resides at the Marcianna Library in Venice, Italy. It consists of a number of medieval manuscripts scanned at a variety of resolutions and indexed by both textual and image based information. The system described in this paper is a JAVA based client-server which can be used to interrogate a remote hybrid database and initiate searches using both the textual and image links of this database. Image queries can be based on data supplied by the user, or extracts of the original remote database. In the paper we also discuss the indexing and pattern recognition algorithms which are used on the Server side.
