Image Retrieval Based on Feature Element
基于特征元素的图像检索方法

In this paper, a novel image retrieval algorithm based on feature element is proposed. Compared with feature vectors, feature elements tend to represent visual meanings of the image according to subjective perception of human beings. Based on feature elements, the similarity between images is defined which is measured by the distant between feature elements. Retrieval experiments show that image retrieval based on feature elements can retrieve images which are more accordant with visual perception of human beings.
