Abstract
Although most image indexing schemes ate based on global image features, they have limited discrimination capability because they cannot capture local variations of the image. In this paper, we propose a new region-based image retrieval system that can extract important regions in the image using salient point extraction and image segmentation techniques. Our experimental results show that color and texture information in the region provide a significantly improved retrieval performances compared to the global feature extraction methods.
