Retrieval by Color Features in Image Databases

What is presented in this paper is our work in the area of image organization and retrieval in Image Databases using global color features and spatial color distribution of images. We suggest extending the use of image histograms to characterize the global and local color properties of an image and to preserve its intrinsic geometric information. We have introduced an algorithm for image organization and retrieval by color features, presented as ORCF. The proposed algorithm is robust in the sense that it can deal with scale and rotation variances in images. On the basis of this algorithm we have developed a prototype system for content base image organization and retrieval.
