Features: This book aims to introduce readers to how to utilize various online search systems to find images that can be obtained for free. The book is divided into ten chapters. Chapter 1 primarily introduces the basic types of images and related concepts, while Chapter 2 focuses on an overview of the methods and approaches for retrieving image information. Chapters 3 to 9 categorically describe and explain the use of over fifty image information retrieval systems. Chapter 10 discusses issues related to image retrieval and usage, such as copyright, and also looks ahead to the future of online image retrieval. Most of the image retrieval systems covered in this book originate from the United States, reflecting the reality that the U.S. dominates the field of online image retrieval. Over time, the rapidly evolving field of information retrieval will also bring significant changes to image retrieval systems. Therefore, although all the websites referenced or mentioned in this book were checked and verified between July and August 2005, the content introduced may still be outdated or different from what you see or use. The best way to address these changes is to frequently monitor and use online image retrieval systems.
