PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved method for evaluating similarity of images. PSOLUTION: A method of representing at least one image comprises deriving at least one descriptor according to color information and color interrelation information for at least one region of the image, and the descriptor has at least one descriptor element derived by using values of pixels in the region, wherein at least one descriptor element for a region is derived by using a non-wavelet transform. The representations may be used for image comparisons. PCOPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
