Abstract
We show how it is possible to use the surface properties of objects to find them in image databases. Using color and local spatial cues at multiple resolutions, we can distinguish both textures and individual salient features on the surfaces of objects. Preliminary experiments on databases of size 20 (for the salient features) and 147 (for the textures) show promising results, and suggest we can extend these approaches to large databases.
