Color Angular Indexing
نویسندگان
چکیده
A fast color-based algorithm for recognizing colorful objects and colored textures is presented. Objects and textures are represented by just six numbers. Let r, g and b denote the 3 color bands of the image of an object (stretched out as vectors) then the color angular index comprises the 3 inter-band angles (one per pair of image vectors). The color edge angular index is calculated from the image's color edge map (the Laplacian of the color bands) in a similar way. These angles capture important low-order statistical information about the color and edge distributions and invariant to the spectral power distribution of the scene illuminant. The 6 illumination-invariant angles provide the basis for angular indexing into a database of objects or textures and has been tested on both Swain's database of color objects which were all taken under the same illuminant and Healey and Wang's database of color textures which were taken under several diierent illuminants. Color angular indexing yields excellent recognition rates for both data sets.

Fast indexing: a comparative evaluation
In this evaluation the efficiency of three image signature called angular spectrum, Hough based signature and color histogram are tested The first signature is intrinsic hierarchical (deriving from image frequency spectrum) and than non signature space reduction technique is used. The second is a short signature directly indexed and the last (color histogram) need to be reduced for fast indexin...
متن کاملEfficient color image indexing and retrieval using a vector-based scheme
Color is the characteristic which is most used for image indexing and retrieval. Due to its simplicity, the color histogram remains the most commonly used method for color indexing and retrieval. However, the lack of good perceptual histogram similarity measures, the global color content of histograms and the erroneous retrieval results d.ue to gamma nonlinearity, calls for improved methods. im...

متن کاملSpatial Color Histograms for Content-Based Image Retrieval
Color histogram is an important technique for color image database indexing and retrieving. In this paper, traditional color histogram is modified to capture spatial layout information of each color and three types spatial color histograms are introduced: annular, angular and hybrid color histograms. Experiments show that with a proper trade-off between the granularity in color dimensions and t...

Several color object irecognition methods that are based on image retrieva.1 algorithms attempt to discount changes of illuminlztion in order to increase performance when test image illumination conditions differ from those that obtained when the image database was created. Here we extend the seminal method of Swain and Ballard to discount changing illumination. The new method is based on the f...
