Content Based Image Retrieval Using Dominant Color Identification Based on Foreground Objects

More and more digital images and video are being captured and stored. In order to use this information, an efficient retrieval technique is required. One major development in this area is content based image retrieval techniques which use image features for image indexing and retrieval. The main features used for image retrieval are color, texture and shape. This Paper looks into the image retrieval technique based on color. This paper proposes the method to retrieve images based on dominant colors in the foreground image. The foreground of the image only gives semantics compared to the background of the image. This is the central theme of the proposed work. Experimental results show that this technique achieves higher Recall and Precision rates compared to existing technique in dominant color based image retrieval.
