You might try ImgSeek <http://www.imgseek.net/>
imgSeek is a photo collection manager and viewer with content-based
search and many other features. The query is expressed either as a rough
sketch painted by the user or as another image you supply (or an image in
your collection). The searching algorithm makes use of multiresolution
wavelet decomposition of the query and database images.
