Image retrieval using both color and texture features

Abstract

This paper has a further exploration and study of visual feature extraction. According to the HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) color space, the work of color feature extraction is finished, the process is as follows: quantifying the color space in non-equal intervals, constructing one dimension feature vector and representing the color feature by cumulative histogram. Similarly, the work of texture feature extraction is obtained by using gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) or color co-occurrence matrix (CCM). Through the quantification of HSV color space, we combine color features and GLCM as well as CCM separately. Depending on the former, image retrieval based on multi-feature fusion is achieved by using normalized Euclidean distance classifier. Through the image retrieval experiment, indicate that the use of color features and texture based on CCM has obvious advantage.
