I can't tell anything about the algorithm it uses, but it always worked fine for my needs. Also, it's very fast and can attach metadata to images. ciao Riccardo signature.asc Description: Digital signature

You can then use various statistical measures to analyse those images. Usual caveat: that's not what I use R for, so your mileage may vary. A quick grep among the by now well over 1000 CRAN packages: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ links -dump http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/PACKAGES.html | grep -i image adimpro Adaptive Smoothing of Digital Images biOps Image processing and analysis biOpsGUI GUI for Basic image operations epsi Edge Preserving Smoothing for Images kza Kolmogorov-Zurbenko Adaptive Filter for Image PET Simulation and Reconstruction of PET Images pixmapBitmap Images (Pixel Maps) rimageImage Processing Module for R [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ There may well be more. None of these packages are in Debian (even though we have some 60 or so) but are typically just a matter of $ R CMD INSTALL someCRANSourcePkg.tar.gz which you may want to run as root, or give a -l location argument to where you can write.

You might try ImgSeek http://www.imgseek.net/ imgSeek is a photo collection manager and viewer with content-based search and many other features. The query is expressed either as a rough sketch painted by the user or as another image you supply (or an image in your collection). The searching algorithm makes use of multiresolution wavelet decomposition of the query and database images.
