Email this article Higher Image Retrieval Efficiency Using Color Features
Abstract
Image retrieval techniques are useful in many image processing applications. Content based image retrieval systems works with whole images and searching is based on comparison of the query. In this paper we present a novel frame work for the color information and achieve higher retrieval efficiency using dominant color feature. An image is partitioned into sub blocks of equal size as a first step. Color of each sub block is extracted by using the RGB color space. A one to one matching scheme is used to compare the query and target images. Minkowski distance is used to retrieving the similar images. The experimental results demonstrate the efficiency of the method.
