	abstract =	{An image database search method is described that uses
	strain energy from prototypes to represent shape categories. Rather
	than directly comparing a candidate shape with all entries in a
	database, shapes are ordered in terms of non-rigid deformations that
	relate them to a small subset of representative prototypes. Shape
	correspondences are obtained via modal matching. Retrieval accuracy and
	stability are evaluated in experiments with 2D image databases.
	Experiments indicate that this method offers significantly better
	performance over shape-based image database shape methods.},
