Content-based multimedia information retrieval is an interesting but difficult area of research.Current approaches include the use of color,texture,and shape information.In order to meet the requirements of users,a content-based image retrieval algorithm for electronic commerce has been investigated combining color features with shape features.The algorithm of image retrieval using both the invariant moment and the Fourier descriptor is proposed to retrieve the shape features of image.The secondary retrieval has been done in succession by use of modified color histogram.To avoid the influence of background,a method of image background elimination is given prior to the image retrieval using multi-features.The experimental results demonstrate that the algorithm of image retrieval on the basis of both color and shape features is effective and the image background elimination technology has better effect on image retrieval.
