This paper presents the integration of color histogram and DBC co-occurrence matrix for content based image retrieval.The exit DBC collect the directional edges which are calculated by applying the first-order derivatives in 0º , 45º , 90º and 135º directions.The feature vector length of DBC for a particular direction is 512 which are more for image retrieval.To avoid this problem, we collect the directional edges by excluding the center pixel and further applied the rotation invariant property.Further, we calculated the cooccurrence matrix to form the feature vector.Finally, the HSV color histogram and the DBC co-occurrence matrix are integrated to form the feature database.The retrieval results of the proposed method have been tested by conducting three experiments on Brodatz, MIT VisTex texture databases and Corel-1000 natural database.The results after being investigated show a significant improvement in terms of their evaluation measures as compared to LBP, DBC and other transform domain features.
