1. A computer-implemented method for finding images, comprising:

  • computing a first set of signatures that describes shapes in a selected image, the first set of signatures being a set of largest coefficients of a wavelet transform for each color plane of the selected image without calculating types of quantized coefficients;

    computing a second signature that describes colors in the selected image; and

    finding images that are similar to the selected image using the first set of signatures and the second signature.
