As multimedia database and digital image libraries are enlarged, CBIR(Content Based Image Retrieval) has been getting importance for the efficient search. Generally, CBIR uses primitive features such as color, shape, texture and so on. Among various methods of CBIR, Gabor wavelet has good image retrieval performance with texture features but it has a disadvantage which does not perform well for a rotated image because of its direction oriented filter. In this paper, we propose a new method to solve this problem by modifying Gabor filter for all directions. And then we will compare the searching performance of the proposed method with those of conventional image retrieval methods through experiments with trademarks.
