Abstract: We aim to study the set of color sets of continuous regions of an image given as a matrix of m rows over ngeqm columns where each element in the matrix is an integer from [1,sigma] named a {em color}. The set of distinct colors in a region is called fingerprint. We aim to compute, index and query the fingerprints of all rectangular regions named rectangles. The set of all such fingerprints is denoted by calF. A rectangle is {em maximal} if it is not contained in a greater rectangle with the same fingerprint. The set of all locations of maximal rectangles is denoted by mathcalL. We first explain how to determine all the |mathcalL| maximal locations with their fingerprints in expected time O(nm2sigma) using a Monte Carlo algorithm (with polynomially small probability of error) or within deterministic O(nm2sigmalog(frac|mathcalL|nm2+2)) time. We then show how to build a data structure which occupies O(nmlogn+mathcal|L|) space such that a query which asks for all the maximal locations with a given fingerprint f can be answered in time O(|f|+loglogn+k), where k is the number of maximal locations with fingerprint f. If the query asks only for the presence of the fingerprint, then the space usage becomes O(nmlogn+|calF|) while the query time becomes O(|f|+loglogn). We eventually consider the special case of squared regions (squares).
