You might want to look at Illustra.
 

Blurb

Informix's VIR DataBlade module embeds the Virage image search engine in
the Informix Illustra technology server. Using VIR, you can search actual
image content. Matches can be based on the color, composition, texture,
and structure of images. By operating on visual properties, rather than on
keywords or textual attributes, VIR lets you think about images, not
BLOBs.

I saw a demo where a pathologsit used Illustra to keep a database of
his slides and was able compare new slides to slides already in the
database. It looked rather neat.

Have a look at the demo at.

All the best
