Abstract :
A system is presented that uses texture to retrieve and browse images stored in a large document image database. A method of graphically generating a candidate search image is used that shows the visual layout and content of a target document. All images similar to this candidate are returned for the purpose of browsing or further query. The system is accessed using a World Wide Web (Web) browser. Applications include the retrieval and browsing of document images including newspapers, fares and business letters
