An Image Retrieval Method Based on Dominant Color Matching
Huang Yuan · Jisuanji yingyong yanjiu · 2003
As an important visual info, color is now widely used in image retrieval. The dominant color can reflect the main situation of an image. It's essential is to present the image by means of less color and make little difference between the new image and the original image. So we propose a new clustering algorithm to contribute similar colors into some dominant colors, that is, to quantize color. After that , we can use histogram to show the distributing info of dominant colors and use histogram intersection algorithm to search similar images from the image repository. The result of the experiment is satisfied.
