	abstract =	{Currently there are quite a few image retrieval systems
	that use color and texture as features to search images. However, by
	using global features these methods retrieve results that often do not
	make much perceptual sense. It is necessary to constrain the feature
	extraction within homogeneous regions, so that the relevant information
	within these regions can be well represented. This paper describes our
	recent work on developing an image segmentation algorithm which is
	useful for processing large and diverse collections of image data. A
	compact color feature representation which is more appropriate for
	these segmented regions is also proposed. By using the color and
	texture features and a region-based search, we achieve a very good
	retrieval performance compared to the entire image search.},
