基于颜色特征的图像检索方法.doc

基于颜色特征的图像检索方法(Content-Based Image Retrieval: CBIR)作为一个崭新的研究领域出现了。 基于内容的图像检索(CBIR, Content-Based Image Retrieval)是一种利用图像的视觉特征(颜色、纹理、形状等)进行图像检索的技术。其主要研究内容可以概括为四个方面:图像特征提取与表示、相似匹配、高维索引结构以及系统设计.CBIR的研究与发展将对诸如数字图书馆、多媒体信息系统、医学图像等应用领域提供有力的技术支持，它是当前图像数据库和多媒体信息检索领域的研究热点.目前，CBIR的技术水平很难满足实际应用的要求，它是一个具有挑战性的研究课题，仍然期待技术上的突破。 在基于内容的图像检索中，颜色作为图像的一种重要视觉信息，己得到广泛应用。本文对利用颜色特征进行图像检索的三个关键问题:颜色的表示、颜色特征的提取和基于颜色的相似性度量进行了讨论。 针对基于颜色的静态图像检索，本文利用JAVA语言实现了在Windows XP环境下基于图像颜色特征的图像检索演示系统。采用应用广泛的RGB颜色空间来表示图像的颜色特征，对颜色分量进行等间隔量化并形成特征矢量并对特征矢量进行归一化处理，采用图像均匀分块的方法引入图像中色彩所处的位置信息，用距离度量函数进行图像的相似性匹配。 本文的研究和实践对于促进基于内容的图像数据库检索技术的应用具有一定的参考价值和实践意义。 关键词：基于内容的图像检索，颜色，CBIR Abstract With the rapid development of Internet, the multimedia information is booming. All this information is mostly images. Effective recognizing, management and searching all these images has been an emergent problem. This has led the rise of a new research and development field: Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR). CBIR is a technique for retrieving image on the basis of automatically derived vision feature. There are four fundamental bases for CBIR, i.e. visual feature extraction and representation, similarity matching, multi-dimensioned indexing, and retrieval system design. Nowadays, CBIR is the main support technique for a lot of application domains, such as digital libraries, multimedia information systems, medical databases; etc .It is currently a very active topic in image databases and multimedia information retrieval. Color, as important visual information, has played a very important role in content-based image retrieval. This paper have discussed three key questions on how to make use of the characteristic of color, which included expressing color, obtaining the characteristic of color and measuring the likeness based on color. It quantifies color sector with equal interval, and get characteristic vector. Finally, it matched the similarity of image with the distance function. The paper holds certain referential
