Abstract
In this report, the technique of the search specified as the picture which contains a face in the picture search in a sequential retrieval system was tried. The picture containing a face is chosen as a training picture, and the code book which specialized in the face area is created by a vector quantization method. It experiments in the efficient method of searching to a high speed and a demand in analyzing only the specific area where entropy is high, and is slack. Moreover, it was shown that color information can be efficiently retrieved using a color correlogram.
