Abstract :
In this paper, we present a system for interactive image database retrieval, based on elastic template matching. The template can be both a 1D template modeling the contour of an object, and a 2D template modeling a part of an image with a significant grey-level pattern. The retrieval process is obtained as a continuous interaction, by which the original user query can be refined or changed on the basis of the results provided by the system
