The problem of the conventional Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) system is that they produce retrieval results for either colour images or grey scale images alone.

Defects in Hippo signalling and hyperactivation of its downstream effector's Yes-associated protein (YAP) and transcriptional co-activator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) play roles in cancer development, implying that pharmacological inhibition of YAP and TAZ activity could be an effective cancer treatment strategy. Conversely, YAP and TAZ can also have beneficial effects in promoting tissue repair and regeneration following damage, therefore their activation may be therapeutically effective in certain instances.
