	abstract =	{We describe a new indexing structure for general image
	retrieval that relies solely on a distance function giving the
	similarity between two images. For each image object in the database,
	its distance to a set of $m$ predetermined vantage objects is
	calculated; the $m$�vector of these distances specifies a point in the
	$m$�dimensional vantage space.  The database objects that are similar
	(in terms of the distance function) to a given query object can be
	determined by means of an efficient nearest�neighbor search on these
	points. We demonstrate the viability of our approach through
	experimental results obtained with a database of about 48,000
	hieroglyphic polylines.},
