An Improved Histogram Based Image Sequence Retrieval Method

In this paper, histogram difference between local images (HDLI) is used to image sequence retrieval. Firstly, both the query image sequences and every database sequences are segmented into several shots based on HDLI of consecutive frames. Then, for each shot, one or more key frames are selected based on HDLI of benchmark frame and each followed frame. Third, to retrieve videos similar to the given query video, similarity between the key frames of query shot and each database shot is computed. The similarity is also measured using HDLI of key frames. Experimental results show that the proposed method improves the image sequence retrieval accuracy efficiently.
