ABSTRACT:
A method for expediting a search of a digital image database comprises, for each digital image, constructing a set of at least two abstracted images varying in level of detail and searching the abstracted images. Selected ones of the abstracted images are down-loaded to a user thereby reducing download time through a finite bandwidth communicative medium relative to the time needed to download complete digital images.
