Image Retrieval Based on Color-Spatial Feature
基于颜色-空间特征的图像检索

The color histogram based image retrieval method is simple and efficient but losing the spatial distribution information of the color. In this paper, a color-space feature based image retrieval method is presented. The content of one image is looked as the aggregation of some main objects, which can be obtained by image segmentation. The total similarity between two images is computed according to these main objects?color, location and shape features and then retrieval there images. The experimental results show that the method is more accurate and efficient in retrieving the user interested images than color histogram method when there are obvious objects in the image.
