A CBIR method based on color-spatial feature
Zhang Lei, Fuzong Lin, Bo Zhang · 2003
Along with the analysis of color features in the hue, saturation and value (HSV) space, a new dividing method to quantize the color space into 36 non-uniform bins is introduced in this paper. Based on this quantization method we propose a color-spatial method to include several spatial features of the colors in an image for retrieval. These features are area and position, which mean the zero-order and the first-order moments, respectively. Experiments on an image database of 838 images show that the algorithm performs well in precision and adaptability.
