In this paper we aim to propose and evaluate the combined use of D-index structure and smooth curve decomposition descriptor so as to enable accurate and fast content based image retrieval. Furthermore, this work provides an experimental analysis of D-index parameter choice and an experimental demonstration of the efficiency of D-index method through comparing its results with other known ones.}, }
