This letter proposes a content-based image retrieval technique using novel dense angle descriptor and dictionary learning (DL). The histogram of oriented gradients (HOG) descriptor fails to obtain rotation invariance and well-defined rotation behavior, and therefore, a dense angle-based HOG descriptor has been presented to address the image rotation invariance. The technique computes angles across multiple scales and uses bag-of-visual features at different scales for DL. Experiments conducted on building and remote sensing datasets show that the proposed technique achieves high retrieval performance.
