Abstract :
A new way of representing histograms is presented. The representation is based on a hierarchical scale-space decomposition that forms a scale tree. The tree is a mapping of the original histogram and provides a useful starting point for the visualization and analysis of high-dimensional histograms that are commonplace in image retrieval systems
