A new concept of characteristic scanning radial (CSR) is proposed for the segmented image on the basis of two shape-specific points of its shape-objects. Subsequently, two characteristic attribute sequences (CAS) of relative distance and relative direction are derived to represent the spatial orientation relationships among objects of the image. A novel image retrieval algorithm is presented using these two CASs. The proposed retrieval approach not only satisfies the transformational invariance, but also attains the quantitative comparison of matching. Experiments identify the effectiveness and efficiency of the algorithm adequately.
