Evaluation of Texture Features for Content-Based Image Retrieval

Abstract. We have carried out a detailed evaluation of the use of texture features in a query-by-example approach to image retrieval. We used 3 radically different texture feature types motivated by i) statistical, ii) psychological and iii) signal processing points of view. The features were evaluated and tested on retrieval tasks from the Corel and TRECVID2003 image collections. For the latter we also looked at the effects of combining texture features with a colour feature.
