A Scheme for Coarse Representation of Color Images in Image Retrieval Systems

Abstract

Image databases require content-based queries which are non-trivial. Several non-critical applications simply do not need sophisticated and time-consuming retrieval schemes. This paper presents a scheme for finding fast approximate matches to a given query image for such applications, by quickly eliminating the unlikely candidates. The scheme is based on gray code represention of the intensities and variances of colors in different regions of the image, and doing approximate matching based on the codes. Preliminary results show that the proposed scheme provides comparatively short retrieval times for content-based queries in image databases.
