Content-Based Image Retrieval Using Gabor Filtering
Tudor Barbu · 2009
This paper provides a content-based digital image retrieval system. Our CBIR system uses the query by example technique and the relevance feedback. A Gabor filter based image feature extraction is proposed first. Thus, 3D image feature vectors using even-symmetric 2D Gabor filters are computed for the images of a large collection and for the input image. At each step an input image is selected, from the output set obtained in the previous step, and the most similar images from the collection are retrieved.
