This looks like a question for DB2 support.

Is there any particlar reason why you want to use the (rather old) AIV
extenders? An alternative approach can be found here:

Thanks for the tip :-)

I am doing a master thesis where i need to compare images based on low-
level features; color, texture, shape... So within the options offered by
DB2 i figured aiv was an alternative.

I read your article and found it veery interesting, but is there any way to
incorporate content based retrieval using the outlined add-on?

Interesting. I didn't know that anyone would still be interested in
this. ;-)

If you have the technology available that does the feature extraction and
comparison, it would be no problem at all to integrate it. However, if you
want to use the existing technology in the AIV extender, it will be much
more complicated.
