Several querying interfaces for content-based image retrieval (CBIR) are reviewed and a new CBIR system is introduced that uses Hierarchical Temporal Memory for the automatic indexing of architectural images and provides a sketch-based and iconic index querying interface. Experimentation shows the system is robust for recognizing query images under varying amounts of noise, distortion, occlusion, blurring, and affine transformation.
