Abstract: | We present a new system for querying for images by regions and their spatial and feature attributes. The system enables the
user to find the images that contain arrangements of regions similar to those diagrammed in a query image. By indexing the
attributes of regions, such as sizes, locations and visual features, a wide variety of complex joint spatial and feature queries
are efficiently computed. In order to demonstrate the utility of the system, we develop a process for the extracting color
regions from photographic images. We demonstrate that integrated spatial and feature querying using color regions improves
image search capabilities over non-spatial content-based image retrieval methods. |
