	abstract =	{This paper deals with efficient retrieval of images from
	large databases based on the color and shape content in images. With
	the increasing popularity of the use of large-volume image databases in
	various applications, it becomes imperative to build an automatic and
	efficient retrieval system to browse through the entire database.
	Techniques using textual attributes for annotations are limited in
	their applications. Our approach relies on image features that exploit
	visual cues such as color and shape. Unlike previous approaches which
	concentrate on extracting a single concise feature, our technique
	combines features that represent both the color and shape in images.
	Experimental results on a database of 400 trademark images show that an
	integrated color- and shape-based feature representation results in
	99\% of the images being retrieved within the top two positions.
	Additional results demonstrate that a combination of clustering and a
	branch and bound-based matching scheme aids in improving the speed of
	the retrievals.},
