Harsh Kumar Sarohi, Farhat Ullah Khan . Image Retrieval using Classification based on Color. International Journal of Computer Applications. 64, 11 ( February 2013), 18-20. DOI=10.5120/10678-5557
This paper proposes a new color classification based approach for Image Retrieval. Information in form of images is increasing at a very fast rate therefore there is need for faster and effective retrieval of specific image from image repositories. Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is considered most efficient to search large image collections. The proposed method uses two color spaces to form two feature vectors and then uses Euclidean distance to categorize images on the basis of color and which limits the search to specific category. This results in speedy retrieval. For reducing computational time only sum of RGB component is used for retrieving the specified image.
