Improving the Effectiveness of the Color Coherence Vector

: This paper was motivated by the desire to improve the effectiveness of retrieving images on the basis of their color content by improving the Color Coherence Vector method. There is a growing demand for efficient and effective image retrieving techniques from the huge multimedia databases on the Internet and from the image libraries. In this paper three methods have been proposed and developed to improve the effectiveness of the Color Coherence Vector method: The modified Color Coherence Vector based on the number of the color coherence regions, The modified Color Coherence Vector based on the distance of the color coherence regions and The modified Color Coherence Vector based on the angle of the color coherence regions. The proposed methods take advantage of the coherence regions number and location information. The information of the coherence regions number, distance and angle along with the coherence and incoherence pixels amount for each color was presented by using the simple ...
