	abstract =	{Much previous work on image retrieval has used global
	features such as colour and texture to describe the content of the
	image. However, these global features are insufficient to accurately
	describe the image content when different parts of the image have
	different characteristics. This paper discusses how this problem can be
	circumvented by using salient interest points and compares and
	contrasts an extension to previous work in which the concept of scale
	is incorporated into the selection of salient regions to select the
	areas of the image that are most interesting and generate local
	descriptors to describe the image characteristics in that region. The
	paper describes and contrasts two such salient region descriptors and
	compares them through their repeatability rate under a range of common
	image transforms. Finally, the paper goes on to investigate the
	performance of one of the salient region detectors in an image
	retrieval situation.},
