Abstract
The main focus of multimedia systems research has been directed towards the design and development of techniques for the management of visual information. Both in images and image sequences, shape and spatial constraints are essential features associated with these objects. This paper presents an image retrieval system called OBIR (Object-Based Image Retrieval). We discuss this and a new histogram-based approach to indexing spatial arrangements of features. Based on some preliminary experiments, we demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our system.
