TLDR
The VisualSEEk system is novel in that the user forms the queries by diagramming spatial arrangements of color regions by utilizing color information, region sizes and absolute and relative spatial locations.Abstract:
We describe a highly functional prototype system for searching by visual features in an image database. The VisualSEEk system is novel in that the user forms the queries by diagramming spatial arrangements of color regions. The system nds the images that contain the most similar arrangements of similar regions. Prior to the queries, the system automatically extracts and indexes salient color regions from the images. By utilizing e cient indexing techniques for color information, region sizes and absolute and relative spatial locations, a wide variety of complex joint color/spatial queries may be computed.read more

Comparing images using color coherence vectors
TL;DR: It is shown that CCV’s can give superior results to color histogram-based methods for comparing images that incorporates spatial information, and to whom correspondence should be addressed tograms for image retrieval.
