User controlled or automatic filtering (14) to enhance object features may be performed prior to object definition (16). Calculated parameter set is assigned to defined objects (18). User controlled or automatic object definition system with multi- or single object layer output. The query image may be substantially continuously displayed during the image filtering and object definition processes. The query object, a cluster of objects or an image may be classified as belonging to one of previously defined classes and according to calculated similarity indices. An object, a cluster of objects or an image can be retrieved from an image database based on a query image calculated similarity indices.
