Colour Adjacency Histograms for Image Matching

Abstract. The use of 2D colour adjacency histograms for image matching in image retrieval scenarios is investigated. We present an algorithm for extracting representative colours from an image and a new method for matching 1D colour histograms and 2D colour adjacency histograms obtained from images quantised using different colour palettes. An experimental evaluation of the matching performance is done.
