This paper have proposed an object retrieval using the corners area variability based on correlogram. The proposed algorithm is processed as follows. First, the corner points of the object in an image are extracted and then the feature vectors are obtained. It are rearranged according to the number dimension and consist of sequence vectors. And the similarity based on the maximum of sequence vectors is measured. The proposed technique is invariant to the rotation or the transfer of the objects and more efficient in case that the objects present simple structure. In simulation that use Wang's database, the method presents that the recall property is improved by 0.03% and more than the standard corner patch histogram.

This paper proposes a new method of retrieving images from large image databases. The method is based on VQ(Vector Quantization) of local texture information at interest points automatically detected in an image. The texture features are extracted by Gabor wavelet filter bank, and rearranged for rotation. These features are classified by VQ and then construct a pattern histogram. Retrievals are performed by just comparing pattern histograms between images. Experimental results have shown the robustness of the proposed method to image rotation, small scale change, noise addition and brightness change and also shown the possibility of the retrieval by a partial image.
