Abstract :
Since 2D string is able to describe the spatial relationship among objects in an image effectively, query and retrieval of images can be performed based on this data structure. In this paper, fuzzy spatial relation measures are incorporated into the traditional 2D-string structure to form a new kind of 2D string. Based on this data structure, users can perform fuzzy query on an image database
