Abstract :
A shape similarity-based retrieval method for image databases that supports a variety of queries is proposed. It is flexible with respect to the choice of feature and definition of similarity and is implementable using existing multidimensional point access methods. A prototype system that handles the problems of distortion and occlusion is described. Experiments with one specific point access method (PAM) are presented
