Abstract
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.
