Abstract
This paper presents a specialized search engine for image retrieval called ImageScour. Compared with a traditional search engine, ImageScour takes advantage of contextual and topological information about the requested image to improve its retrieval performance. In particular, ImageScour is relevant for automatically repairing "broken" links pointing to other Websites, when the content of these Websites is updated or reorganized. Empirical results show that ImageScour outperforms general search engines (e.g., the advanced Google image search) by a significant margin.
