In this paper, a Kansei landscape image retrieval system named KIRCK is proposed, which is based on color feature and Kansei factors. Color feature is extracted in HSV color space and the similarity of color feature is estimated by color accumulation histogram intersection method. Multi-class Support Vector Machine is applied for the mapping between high-level Kansei labels and low-level image characteristics. After the multi-class SVM is trained, Kansei factors of images can be labeled automatically, and the similarity of images in Kansei space also can be estimated. Thus integrated retrieval results using color and Kansei factors can be obtained, and the experiment shows that these retrieval results are more satisfied than only using color feature or Kansei factors. Correlative feedback is also introduced to improve the performance of our color feature and Kansei factors image retrieval.
