A Novel Two-Level Color Image Retrieval Method

This paper presents an effective two-level color image retrieval method based on the RGB color model. For the purpose of effectively retrieving more similar images from the digital image databases, we divide the image into different regions and set bigger weight for the region we focus on. In addition, we set different weights for each RGB component of the color image according to the main hue of it. As a result, this scheme can enhance the retrieval accuracy that is measured in terms of the recall and precision.
