Abstract

We propose an iconic indexing of images to be exposed on the Web. This should be accomplished by "Keypics", i.e. auxiliary, simplified pictures referring to the geometrical and/or the semantic content of the indexed image. Keypics should not be rigidly standardized; they should be left free to evolve, to express nuances and to stress details. A mathematical tool for dealing with such freedom, in the retrieval task, already exists: Size Functions. An experiment on 494 Keypics with Size Functions based on three measuring functions (distances, projections and jumps) and their combination is presented.
