Such a content-based search could be combined with tradition keyword search, average color or domain-specific metadata in order to improve search precision and recall.

The objective of the isk-Services project is to provide content-based image indexing and retrieval in a transparent way for image-related web sites. This hosted service would store all content-based data about the web site images and provide web services for querying/retrieving data.

Think of it as content-based image retrieval (CBIR) as a service (SaaS).

This architecture is shown on the diagram below:
