Abstract

This paper presents a method for extracting and combining features from image that can be used to perform effective image retrieval. First, we use a method of diamond segmentation for all images in database. Then, in HSV color space, we extract color vectors of 256 dimensions for both the segments in and out the diamond. At last, we extract shape feature from all images with the method of moment invariants. Then we compare our method with single color feature and shape feature, as well as two contrast combining methods. Experiments show that our method has better effectiveness and feasibility.
