Abstract
This paper reports the application of an error-tolerant retrieval technique introduced in 1997 by Oflazer [IEEE Transactions on P.A.M.I., vol. 19, No. 12, December 1997] for databases of trees coding pictures of similar objects. The technique is of great interest for the classification and maintenance of historical and archeological pictorial data. We demonstrate the approach on a small postal stamp collection and describe the same application on a large set of pictures.
