Abstract
In this paper, we propose a region-based image retrieval system using EHD (Edge Histogram Descriptor) and CLD (Color Layout Descriptor) of MPEG-7 descriptors. The combined descriptor can efficiently describe edge and color features in terms of sub-image regions. That is, the basic unit for the selection of the region-of-interest (ROI) in the image is the sub-image block of the EHD, which corresponds to 16 (i.e., 4x4) non-overlapping image blocks in the image space. This implies that, to have a one-to-one region correspondence between EHD and CLD, we need to take an 8x8 inverse DCT (IDCT) for the CLD. Experimental results show that the proposed retrieval scheme can be used for image retrieval with the ROI based image retrieval for MPEG-7 indexed images.
