Abstract

In this work, we propose an image search method by visual content (CBIR), which is based on the color descriptor. The proposed method take account the spatial distribution of colors and make the signature partially invariant under rotation. The basic idea of our method is to use circular shift (clockwise or anti-clockwise direction) and mirror (horizontal direction and vertical direction respectively) matching scheme to measure the distance between signatures. Through some experiments, we show that this approach leads to a significant improvement in the quality of results.
