Abstract

See full text

In the past, databases containing three dimensional images were searched by keywords and indexes. For such functionality, a set of keywords must be associated with each image. This is usually performed by a person and is prone to errors. It has now been found that searching of three-dimensional images stored electronically can be performed in dependence upon a variety of criteria such as colour, shape, size, etc. A method is disclosed for searching three dimensional images of objects in dependence upon the above criteria, other images, or other criteria. This obviates the need for keyword indexing of image databases.
