An Image Retrieval Algorithm Based on the HSI Color Space Accumulative Histogram
Jianmin Jiang · Computer Engineering and Science · 2007
This paper gives an image retrieval method based on the color-space histogram. First, it uses the HSI color space to compress the color space to 72 kinds of representative colors,and then designs 12 overlapped sub-regions to get the color accumulative histogram in each region. Finally, the similarity is calculated based on the accumulative histogram of each region. The proposed method is simple,flexible and effective in describing the color feature, which avoids the shortcoming of losing the space distribution information in the color histogram.The experimental results show the superiority of the proposed algorithm in image retrieval precision.
