This paper presents an application of perceptual grouping rules for content-based image retrieval. The semantic interrelationships between different primitive image features are exploited by perceptual grouping to detect the presence of manmade structures. A methodology based on these principles in a Bayesian framework for the retrieval of building images, and the results obtained are presented. The image database consists of monocular grayscale outdoor images taken from a ground-level camera.
