Results and Conclusions

     In the paper we have reviewed content-based image retrieval. Conventional Databases appear even efficient for image retrieval based on textual indexing of image content. Nevertheless they can not manage efficiently non-formatted data such as bit-mapped fields. OO-DBMS can perform image retrieval based on non-structured data provided that a suitable model is chosen. We have proposed an architecture for content-based image retrieval based on an extended image model.  In this framework both textual and visual queries can be carried out. We have shown that user-view on image data can be manage inside this architecture by adopting the software agents  paradigm.
