Searching for Images by Similarity, by Chris SHerman, SearchDay (May 23)
The new Tiltomo image search engine will be able to help you find images at Flickr that are similar to a selected one by its characteristics. Options are to search by Theme : Analysis of (Subject / Color / Texture) or Color / Texture : Analysis of (100% Color / Texture). Tiltormo wasn't working when I tried it - didn't show any images not even the examples provided - but maybe later.
The Canadian company Idée also creates the visual search software Epsion -- http://www.ideeinc.com/. You can see it at work at Wonderfile , a service for finding royalty free stock photographs.
