Based on the study of two kinds of fractal dimension, Differential Box-Counting(DBC) and Multi-Fractal Dimension(MFD), we present a new kind of 2-D histogram of fractal dimensions for images firstly. Then a novel image retrieval algorithm based on texture information, Image Retrieval algorithm using Fractal Dimensions(IRFD), is proposed. Experiments are carried out on an image database with 400 color images. The results show that our algorithm obtains a good performance.
