  • Abstract
    QBE was the most popular manner of CBIR systems. But, “Semantic Gap” is an obstacle to make QBE more efficient. The contribution of this paper was that a framework of QBC (query by concept) was proposed to minimize the effect of “Semantic Gap”. Also, a method was proposed to obtain concepts. An attempt was made with landscape images with “blue sky” and “green grass”. Experiment data were about 7000 images collected from Corel database and Internet. The experimental results demonstrated the method was feasible, effective and robust.
