First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- a. Extracting at least one image embedded in at least one presentation slide;
b. Generating a token representation of the identified at least one image;
c. Computing meta attributes of the identified at least one image and the at least one presentation slide;
d. Making the generated token representation and the computed meta attributes available to a search engine; and
e. Performing image search using the generated token representation and the computed meta attributes.

Abstract
Image search and retrieval system is provided. System identifies pictures embedded in presentation slides. System represents each set of identical (or nearly identical) images with unique token. For example, if specific picture is reused in multiple presentations, it will be represented by system using same token. System may compute and store various meta attributes associated with presentation slide and image(s) therein. After the token and meta attribute information are generated for images and/or slides, generated data is provided to text-based search engine. A searched image is subsequently located and retrieved by user using search query issued by user to text-based search engine, which locates images based on generated token and meta attribute information. At query time, user enters search keywords describing target image that user desires to locate. Pursuant to user'"'"'s query, system retrieves all matching presentation slides. Found images may be ranked using, for example, tf*idf score.
