Abstract :
This paper describes steps towards an information system for the storage and content-based retrieval of ocular fundus images. Based on the Virage Incorporated framework for defining similarity metrics, the authors have developed a number of primitives for the representation of ocular fundus images. A prototype Query By Pictorial Example (QBPE) system yields similarity rankings in approximate agreement with those of a human expert
