Title: USING IMAGE PROCESSING AS SECURITY FEATURE IN INFORMATION RETRIEVAL
Abstract: 
IR deals with the representation, storage, organization of, and access to information items. Types of information items: documents, Web pages, online catalogs, structured records, multimedia objects. Early goals of the IR area: indexing text and searching for useful documents in a collection. Nowadays, research in IR includes modeling, web search, text classification, systems architecture, user interfaces, data visualization, filtering and languages. Until recently, IR was an area of interest restricted mainly to librarians and information experts. A single fact changed these perceptions, the introduction of the Web, which has become the largest repository of knowledge in human history. Due to its enormous size, finding useful information on the Web usually requires running a search and searching on the Web is all about IR and its technologies. Thus, almost overnight, IR has gained a place with other technologies at the center of the stage.
