ABSTRACT:
This paper provides a new image segmentation algorithm for object-based image retrieval. The system partitions multi-dimensional images into disjoint regions of coherent color and texture. In order to distinguish the object contour lines from texture edge, the description length of the line is used as discriminating criteria. Visual attribute values are assigned to each region.
