Image Retrieval Using VQ Based Local Modified Gabor Feature

摘要

This paper proposes a new method of retrieving images from large image databases. The method is based on VQ(Vcctor Quantization) of local texture features 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.
