Abstract
We present in this paper, a qualitative spatial relationships representation scheme called IO&T which combines fuzzy Intrinsic Orientation and Topological spatial relationships, and a similarity measure based on this representation. This scheme is invariant under translation and rotation. In addition, the proposed picture similarity retrieval approach, which is based on dominant objects, is especially useful for similarity retrieval involving a small number of dominant objects.
