retrievr.pngContent based image search in Flickr? Well someone (to be specific System One) already had the same idea. Based on a scientific project from 1995 Flickr images are indexed using signatures generated from a wavelet transform.

The resulting application is named Retrievr and can be used to draw query images, which are then used to find matching Flickr images. The system works quite smooth, so  give it a try! A description has also been published at slashdot.
