A novel approach of Content Based Image Retrieval(CBIR), which combines color, texture and shape descriptors to represent the features of the image, is discussed in this paper.The proposed scheme is based on three noticeable algorithms: color distribution entropy(CDE), color level co-occurrence(CLCM) and invariant moments.CDE takes the correlation of the color spatial distribution in an image into consideration.CLCM matrix is the texture feature of the image, which is a new proposed descriptor that is grounded on co-occurrence matrix to seize the alteration of the texture.Hu invariant moments are frequently used owing to its invariance under translation, changes in scale, and also rotation.The proposed scheme achieves a modest retrieval result by utilizing these diverse and primitive image descriptors, at the same time, the retrieval result is better when use the texture feature alone which we proposed than use gray level co-occurrence.The similarity measure matrix is based upon Euclidean distance.
