The aim of this work is to index images based on color, in domain specific databases using colors computed from the object of interest only, instead of using 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--successful elimination of the background leaves the figure or object of interest. The background elements are eliminated using general observations true for any photograph where there is a single, prominent object of interest. First, we form a hypothesis about possible background …

Multimedia applications are rapidly spread at an ever-increasing rate introducing a number of challenging problems at the hands of the research community, The most significant and influential problem, among them, is the effective access to stored data. In spite of the popularity of keyword-based search technique in alphanumeric databases, it is inadequate for use with multimedia data due to their unstructured nature. On the other hand, a number of content-based access techniques have been developed in the context of image indexing and retrieval; meanwhile video retrieval systems start to gain wide attention, This work proposes a number of techniques constituting …
