Improved query method for content-based image retrieval and storage medium storing program for realizing the method

摘要

The present invention relates to an improved image quality for the content-based search method, and more particularly QBE (Query by Example) how and QBS (Query By Sketch) when supplemented by the way the user does not have the desired image quality by modifying the input image convenience of the query image by using a simplified sketch of the sketch can create a new query image a recording medium storing a program for implementing the image quality improved method and a method for content-based search to increase. According to the invention, at least one of receiving a source image to be generated by the draft of the image search, a query image from a user, to perform pre-processing for the source image, a representative color extracted from the preprocessed image, and using the representative color to simplify the pre-processed image generating sketches and sketch receives the information from the user information is created by combining the sketches and sketch, and the query image, a query image is performed by using a content-based search.
