Research on Image Retrieval Algorithm Based on Combination of Color and Shape Features

Abstract

With the development of content-based image retrieval technology, the retrieval efficiency of image retrieval technology is getting higher and higher. For different data images, image retrieval based on color features and shape features can be used to improve retrieval efficiency. However, when a single image feature is retrieved, its retrieval efficiency still cannot meet people’s needs. In this paper, we propose an image retrieval algorithm based on the combination of color and shape features. The cumulative histogram method is used to calculate the color features of the image, and 7 Hu invariant moments are calculated as shape features. The color and shape features are combined with certain weights, and the Euclidean distance is used as the similarity measure. Finally, the image is retrieved, and the related experiments are passed. By comparing with related experiments, the algorithm effectively improves the accuracy of image retrieval.
