Cheol-Won Kim, Kiho Choi · The Transactions of the Korea Information Processing Society · 1997
In this paper, a conernt-based image retrival system with color assigments has been stueide and implment-ed. The color of images has been extracted after changing RGB color space to HSV(hue, saturation, value)that is the most compatible color for peop]e's feeling. In the color extracting, an image is divided into 9 different areasand 3 major colors for each area are selected by using color histograms. It is possible to chose the class of umages by keywords. We are evaluate four different types of queries such as an image input, keywords with color assignments, combining an image input and keywords with color assinments, and selecting specific part of an umage. Experimental rusults show that four different query types privide precision/recall 0.55/0.37, 0.57/0.43, 0.59/0.45 and 0.63/0.61, respectively. With color assignments, the retrieval system has been able to obtain high performance and validity.
