Abstract
In this paper, to improve the retrieval Performance, an efficient combination of the MPEG-7 visual descriptors, such as the edge histogram descriptor (EHD), the color layout descriptor (CLD), and the homogeneous texture descriptor (HTD), is proposed in the framework of the relevance feedback approach. The EHD represents spatial distribution of edges in local image regions and it is considered as an important feature to represent the content of the image. The CLD specifies spatial distribution of colors and is widely used in image retrieval due to its simplicity and fast operation speed. The HTD describes precise statistical distribution of the image texture. Both the feature vector for the query image and the weighting factors among the combined descriptors are adaptively determined during the relevance feedback. Experimental results show that the proposed method improves the retrieval performance significantly tot natural images.
