Image retrieval based on color feature

A new picture retrieval algorithm based on color was presented. In the process of scaling color in HSV color space, the new algorithm used a scaling method based on fuzzy scaling to meet human’s sensation better. Global histogram does not include the spatial distribution information, and different images may have the same color histogram. In order to solve these problems,the paper proposed a new algorithm based on overlapping sub-block splitting,and the second splitting. The experiment results showed that the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
