Abstract

Visual information is becoming more important and at a rapid rate. However, creators and users are reluctant to annotate visual content making it difficult to search these collections. Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) techniques extract visual descriptors directly from image data and can hence be used in situations where textual information is not available. In this paper, we give a brief introduction on some of the basic colour descriptors that are employed in CBIR.
