Abstract

This paper presents a method to extract color and texture features of an image quickly for content-based image retrieval (CBIR). First, HSV color space is quantified rationally. Color histogram and texture features based on a co-occurrence matrix are extracted to form feature vectors. Then the characteristics of the global color histogram, local color histogram and texture features are compared and analyzed for CBIR. Based on these works, a CBIR system is designed using color and texture fused features by constructing weights of feature vectors. The relevant retrieval experiments show that the fused features retrieval brings better visual feeling than the single feature retrieval, which means better retrieval results.
