An incremental Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) method is proposed in this paper based on color histogram. Standard histograms, because of their efficiency and insensitivity to small changes, are widely used for content based image retrieval. But the main disadvantage of histograms is that many images of different appearances can have similar histograms because histograms provide coarse characterization of an image. We define an algorithm that utilizes the concept of Histogram Refinement [l] and we call it Color Refinement Method.
