	abstract =	{Many content-based methods have been proposed to retrieve
	images from multimedia databases, Current index structures, such as
	R${}^*$-tree, SS-tree and SS${}^+$-tree, have a large overlapping area
	among their nodes, especially at the high level of the indexing tree.
	The overlapping area causes the search engine to compare a large
	number of nodes and hence, it is very inefficient to retrieve at very
	high levels of the index tree. We present a scheme to combine browsing
	with retrieval in searching for images. The browser uses the
	content-based index structure of image databases. It provides users
	with a visual tool to narrow the search quickly to a small region and
	to avoid a large number of comparisons. Combined with retrieval, it
	produces a very efficient content-based retrieval method.},
