We have developed a method that utilizes hypertext link information in image retrieval from the World Wide Web. The basis of the method consists of a set of basic relations that can take place between two images in the Web. Our method uses the SHA-1 message digest algorithm for dimension reduction by random mapping. The Web link features have then been used in creating a SelfOrganizing Map of i...
