Abstract
A content-based image retrieval technique for sharing image information between images. In the present image information sharing technique digital photographs containing relevant comments and links to web pages are supplied by a set of authors. A user of the image information sharing technique takes a digital picture of something that interests them, such as, for example, a poster, a product, a painting, and uploads it to an image information sharing server. The image information sharing technique then matches the photo to an image in an image information sharing database. The comments and web links associated with the matched photo are subsequently sent to the user.
