	abstract =	{In this paper we introduce several techniques which
	characterize color homogeneous objects and their spatial relationships
	for a more precise and efficient content-based image searching. We
	first present a region growing technique for efficient color
	homogeneous objects segmentation, and then we extend the 2-D string to
	express spatial signatures for an accurate description of spatial
	relationships of objects within an image. Several optimizations,
	including dominant color histogram clustering, have also been proposed
	to an efficient search engine implementation. The experimental results
	that we have drawn so far show that our content-based image searching
	techniques give a high precision while keeping a very good recall
	rate.},
