Summary: Book content obselete
Review: It is indeed true that this is perhaps one of very few books on this important subject. Unfortunately, the content of the book is mainly obselete. It does not contain the start-of-art work since 2000. I am quite disappointed.

Summary: Book content obselete
Review: There are only two books which cover the new area
of visual information retrieval. One is by Alberto del Bimbo
and gives a good introduction to the subject. It is
written well, but leaves the reader wondering what the
state of the art is. This book by Prof. Lew covers the state of the art in the
fundamentals of color, texture, shape, and video. Prof. Lew's
book has each fundamental area written by the leading
expert so the material is fresh and truly state of the art.
These experts include the leading researchers from MIT,
Boston University, Univ. of Illinois, etc. This is the only choice for an advanced book on visual
information retrieval - one for graduate students or
leading edge developers. - John
