The aim of this work is to index images in domain specific databases using colors computed from the object of interest only, instead of the whole image. The main problem in this task is the segmentation of the region of interest from the background. Viewing segmentation as a figure/ground segregation problem leads to a new approach - eliminating the background leaves the figure or object of interest.
