英文摘要：

In this paper,a quite full picture is given to the research on a new field of data mining— image data mining.The concept of image data mining is presented,the similarities and differences between the image data mining,image processing analysis,image pattern recognising and image indexing are analysed,and the detailed elucidation about the change and extension of image data mining to traditional data mining is made as well.After that,image data mining is classified on various points of view and some different techniques such as association rule,classification,clustering etc.,in image data mining is also introduced.After all,a brief introduction on some applications of image data mining is given at the end of the paper.
