Image retrieval with multiresolution color space quantization
Xia Wan, C.‐C. Jay Kuo · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1996
The application of multiresolution color quantization and indexing schemes to color-based image retrieval is investigated in this research. We first perform a thorough comparison of different quantization schemes in RGB, HSV, YUV and CIELUV color spaces. Then, a new feature based on the octree structure of color quanitization is proposed to achieve efficient multiresolution image indexing and retrieval. Extensive experiments are performed to illustrate the performance of the proposed multiresolution retrieval approach.
