Color Image Retrieval Based on Distance-Weighted Boundary Predictive Vector Quantization Index Histograms
Zhen Sun, Zhe‐Ming Lu, Hao Luo · IEICE Transactions on Information and Systems · 2009
This Letter proposes a new kind of features for color image retrieval based on Distance-weighted Boundary Predictive Vector Quantization (DWBPVQ) Index Histograms. For each color image in the database, 6 histograms (2 for each color component) are calculated from the six corresponding DWBPVQ index sequences. The retrieval simulation results show that, compared with the traditional Spatial-domain Color-Histogram-based (SCH) features and the DCTVQ index histogram-based (DCTVQIH) features, the proposed DWBPVQIH features can greatly improve the recall and precision performance.
