We have done a detailed analysis of the visual properties of the HSV (Hue, Saturation and Intensity Value) color space and Human visual system. Using the results of these analyses, we determine relative importance of hue and intensity based on the saturation of an image pixel with respect to rod and cone cells excitation of retina. We effectively apply this method to the generation of a color histogram and use it for content-based image retrieval applications. A webbased system has been developed for demonstrating our work.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
