Abstract

In order to support content based iconic image retrieval efficiently, we propose a new spatial match representation scheme, called SR scheme, which combines directional operators with positional operators. Therefore, our scheme can represent spatial relationships between icon objects precisely, and can provide ranking for the retrieved images. In addition, we compare our scheme with the conventional 9DLT and SMR schemes in terms of retrieval effectiveness. Finally, we show from our experiments that our SR scheme holds about 7% higher recall and about 20% higher precision, compared with the 9DLT and the SMR
