Abstract
A computer-implemented method for searching for a similar image in an image database includes receiving a query image, computing a value of a similarity measure of the query image, comparing the value of the similarity measure of the query image with metadata of the partitions, discarding at least one partition of the image database based on the comparison of the value of the similarity measure of the query image with the metadata, comparing the images of at least one of the remaining partitions with the query image, and selecting at least one image of the at least one partition of the remaining partitions as the similar image based on the comparison of the images of the at least one of the remaining partitions with the query image.
