abstract = {A technique to retrieve images by region matching using a
combined feature index based on color, shape, and location is presented
within the framework of MPEG-7. Dominant regions within each image are
indexed using integrated color, shape, and location features. Various
combinations of regions are also indexed. The resulting indices and
related metadata are stored in a Hash structure, where similar images
tend to form clusters. The retrieval process is non-cascading and
images can be retrieved based on color, shape or location and also
based on a combined color-shape-location index. Results obtained show
that retrieval effectiveness increases in non-cascaded region-based
querying by combined index.},
