Using Fuzzy Histograms and Distances for Color Image Retrieval
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract Traditionally, content based image retrieval was based on the representation of the image content through the firstorder or second-order distribution of some features thought to be relevant for the image description. Luminance, color (expressed in various color representation systems), edge strength and textural features were intensively used (independently or jointly) during the last decade. We propose to revisit the use of color image content as an image descriptor through the introduction of fuzziness, which naturally arises due to the imprecision of the pixel color values and human perception. We propose the use of both fuzzy color histograms and their corresponding fuzzy distances for the retrieval of color images within various databases.

Embedding Fuzzy Logic in Content Based Image Retrieval
This paper focuses on the possible embedding of the uncertainty regarding the colors of an image into histogramtype descriptors. The uncertainty naturally arises from both the quantization of the color components and the human perception of colors. Fuzzy histograms measure the typicality of each color within the image. We define various fuzzy color histograms following a taxonomy that classifie...
متن کاملRotation and Scale Invariant Color Image Retrieval Using Fuzzy Clustering
Color is one of the most important image features used in content-based image retrieval (CBIR). This paper proposes a robust and effective color feature known as ring-based fuzzy histogram (RFH), which reduces noise sensitivity in conventional color histograms (CCH) by using two stages of fuzzy clustering. By partitioning images into rings, RFH can capture an image’s spatial information, and is...
متن کاملImage retrieval based on fuzzy color histogram processing
Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) is a collection of techniques for retrieving images on the basis of features, such as color, texture and shape. An efficient tool, which is widely used in CBIR, is that of color image histograms. The classic method of color histogram creation results in very large histograms with large variations between neighboring bins. Thus, small changes in the image mig...
متن کاملSearching Color Images by Emotional Concepts
Most of the content-based image retrieval systems focus on similarity-based retrieval of images by utilizing color, shape and texture features. For color-based image retrieval, the average color or color-histograms of images are widely used as feature vectors. In this paper, we propose a new searching scheme, called Fuzzy Membership Value-Indexing, to guarantee higher retrieval quality. This sc...
متن کاملImage retrieval using the combination of text-based and content-based algorithms
Image retrieval is an important research field which has received great attention in the last decades. In this paper, we present an approach for the image retrieval based on the combination of text-based and content-based features. For text-based features, keywords and for content-based features, color and texture features have been used. Query in this system contains some keywords and an input...
