Abstract
A method and an apparatus search an image using a feature point. The image search method extracts at least one feature point from an image and describes the extracted at least one feature point in stages, thereby generating a hierarchical feature point descriptor. In addition, the method may search for information matching the feature point descriptor from a local database (DB) included in a terminal or a remote DB included in a server.
