Data Management and Algorithms

In this paper we present a system intended for content-based image retrieval tightly integrated with a relational database management system. Users can send query images over the appropriate web service channel or construct database queries locally. The presented framework analyses the query image based on descriptors which are generated by the bag-of-features algorithm and local interest points. The system returns the sequence of similar images with a similarity level to the query image. The software was implemented in .NET technology and Microsoft SQL Server 2012. The modular construction allows to customize the system functionality to client needs but it is especially dedicated to business applications. Important advantage of the presented approach is the support by SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture), which allows to use the system in a remote way. It is possible to build software which uses functions of the presented system by communicating over the web service API with the WCF technology.
