Abstract :
The authors propose a new spatial match representation scheme which can provide ranking in iconic image databases. Our scheme combines directional operators with positional operators so as to represent spatial relationships between icon objects precisely. In addition, we design an inversion based retrieval method in order to accelerate image searching and support ranking. Finally, we evaluate the retrieval performance of our scheme in terms of retrieval effectiveness and efficiency
