Hello everyone,Indra Kurzeme of Multimedia Victoria, an agency of the State of Victoria, Australia, submitted the following entry to the Clearinghouse for Image Database which I want to bring to your attention. It's an interesting project but also of interest to IMAGELIB subscribers is that the entry is completely filled out. You will find a lot of good technical info on how the project was conducted. Many thanks to Indra Kurzeme from "Downunder."
