Hybrid Approach to Content-Based Image Retrieval Using Modified Multi-Scale LBP and Color Features

Abstract

The objective of the content-based image retrieval (CBIR) system is to retrieve the visually identical images from the database efficiently and effectively. It is a broad research realm with the availability of numerous applications. Performance dependence of CBIR focuses on the extraction, reduction, and selection of the features along with the practice of classification technique. In this work, we have proposed the hybrid approach of two different feature descriptors: global color histogram and multi-scale local binary pattern (MS-LBP); furthermore, the use of PCA for dimension reduction and LDA for the selection of features. The proposed method is evaluated concerning various benchmark datasets, viz., Corel-1k, Corel-5k, Corel-10k, and Ghim-10k together with result comparison based on the precision and recall values at different thresholds. The classification purposes are satisfied with Euclidean and City Block distance. The performance study of the proposed work displays it as outperformer than the identified state-of-the-art literature.
