	abstract =	{In image analysis there has been an increasing interest in
	development and application of similarity measures for nonbinary
	digital images. Such measures are very useful for database querying.
	The problem of image-based query for retrieving grey scale images from
	image data bases is studied and a new low-level measure to match the
	query image to the data base is proposed. The measure is based on
	calculating distances from every pixel of the queried image to
	retrieved image and vice versa. These distances reflect so-called local
	similarity of two images. After that the local distances are
	accumulated into one number which can be used as a matching measure.
	The initial experimental results show that the proposed measure is not
	very sensitive to small deformations (like shift, rotation, lightness
	change) of both digital images and some objects presented in the
	images. The measure better estimate image matching than widely used
	correlation functions and the Hausdorff metric.},
