Area morphology filters are capable of removing objects in an image based solely on the object area. These operators can be effectively used for content based image retrieval. However, the traditional level set based implementations of these operators are impractical because of their time complexities. Here we present a fast implementation of area morphology based on bitplane decomposition of the image. Our experiments indicate that the results of image segmentation are comparable to the original level set based approach and better than the existing fast area morphological techniques. The bitplane based area morphological segmentation technique is then applied for CBIR. Results on its use in CBIR are presented.
