Image retrieval algorithm based on edge color distribution
Zhao Lian-feng · Journal of Computer Applications · 2007
A new image retrieval algorithm based on edge color distribution was proposed.The content information of an image was characterized by color distribution of different edge types described by two-dimension edge color histogram.The algorithm takes not only the local color features into account but also the space distribution information of edge types and overcomes the shortcoming of color histogram which loses the location information.Experimental results show that this method effectively improves the image retrieval performance compared with other retrieval methods.
