Abstract :
New visual information in the form of images, graphics, animations and videos is published on the World Wide Web at an incredible rate. However, cataloging it exceeds the capabilities of current text-based Web search engines. WebSeek provides a complete system that collects visual information from the Web by automated agents, then catalogs and indexes it for fast searching and retrieval
