	abstract =	{A method is presented for processing pictorial query
	specifications that consist of a query image and a similarity level
	that must hold between the query image and database images. The
	similarity level specifies the \emph{contextual similarity} (how well
	does the content of one image match that of another) as well as the
	\emph{spatial similarity} (the relative locations of matching symbols
	in the two images). This method allows more than one instance of each
	object in the database image (while still requiring only one instance
	of each object in the query image). The algorithm tries to satisfy the
	spatial constraints using an auxiliary graph data structure. The
	running time of this method is exponential in the number of objects in
	the query image.},
