Abstract: | A new image indexing and retrieval system for content based image retrieval (CBIR) is proposed in this paper. The characteristics (vector points) of image are computed using color (color histogram) and SOT (spatial orientation tree). The SOT defines the spatial parent-child relationship among wavelet coefficients in multi-resolution wavelet sub-bands. First the image is divided into sub-blocks and then constructed the SOT for each low pass wavelet coefficient is considered as a vector point of that particular image. Similarly the color histogram features are collected from the each sub-block. The vector points of each image are indexed using vocabulary tree. The retrieval results of the proposed method are tested on different image databases, i.e., natural image database consists of Corel 1000 (DB1), Brodatz texture image database (DB2) and MIT VisTex database (DB3). The results after being investigated show a significant improvement in terms of average precision, average recall and average retrieval rate on DB1 database and average retrieval rate on texture databases (DB2 and DB3) as compared with most of existing techniques on respective databases. |
