This thesis discusses information retrieval from multimedia archives, focusing on documents containing visual material. We investigate search and retrieval in collections of images and video, where video is defined as a sequence of still images. No assumptions are made with respect to the content of the documents; we concentrate on retrieval from generic, heterogeneous multimedia collections. In this research area a user's query typically consists of one or more example images and the implicit request is: "Find images similar to this one." In addition the query may contain a textual description of the information need. The research presented here addresses three issues within this area.
