In content-based Image Retrieval (CBIR) application, a large amount of data is processed. Among various low-level features like color, shape and texture, color is an important feature and represented in the form of histogram. It is essential that features required to be coded in such a way that the storage space requirement is low and processing speed is high. In this paper, we propose a method for indexing of images in the large database with lossy compression technique known as Block Truncation Coding (BTC) along with two different color feature extraction methods -Color Moment and Color Auto-correlogram. Block truncation coding divided the original image into multiple non-overlapping blocks and then retrieve the required features. The proposed method performs better.
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.
