Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the problem of querying a database of images. In order to improve the communication between human and computer, we propose a visual editor as an interaction tool. Really, the most simple way to formulate a query to a database of images is to allow the user to draw a sketch of the picture he is interested in. This sketch will be used to formulate a query within the visual query system. This editor, called VisEd, has been developed following a formal model (the PIE model), where properties such as completeness, reachability, and particularly undo, hold.
