	abstract =	{The retrieval of images based on their visual similarity
	to an example image is an important and fascinating area of research.
	Here, a method to characterize visual appearance for determining global
	similarity in images is described.

	Images are filtered with Gaussian derivatives and geometric features
	are computed from the filtered images.  The geometric features used
	here are curvature and phase.  Two images may be said to be similar if
	they have similar distributions of such features. Global similarity
	may, therefore, be deduced by comparing histograms of these features.
	This allows for rapid retrieval and examples from collection of
	gray�level and trademark images are shown.},
