OBJECT-BASED IMAGE RETRIEVAL USING POINT FEATURE MAPS

Multimedia information systems may be viewed as storage and retrieval systems where large volumes of multimedia data such as audios, images, and videos are created, indexed, modified, searched, and retrieved. In the last few years, content-based image retrieval has seen a great deal of emphasis in the context of multimedia information systems [NBE93, Gro97]. Images can be associated with both low-level semantics (color, texture, shape, and various
