As a project, you may implement simple image analysis algorithms that, for example, extract a color histogram, or detect the presence of a horizon-like edge.

You may further explore scenarios for information retrieval in the cultural heritage domain. and compare this with other applications of multimedia information retrieval, for example monitoring in hospitals.

For further reading I suggest to make yourself familiar with common techniques in information retrieval as described in  [IR], and perhaps devote some time to studying image analisis,  [Image].
