Representing and Retrieving Regions Using Binary Partition Trees

This paper discusses the interest of Binary Partition Trees for image and region representation in the context of indexing and similarity based retrieval. Binary Partition Trees concentrate in a compact and structured way the set of regions that compose an image. Since the tree is able to represent images in a multiresolution way, only simple descriptors need to be attached to the nodes. Moreover, this representation is used for similarity based region retrieval.
