Simple and fast feature extraction methods are in need today for Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) and object recognition applications. The work presented in this paper is contour based one dimensional shape feature extraction technique for closed contour objects. The continuous contour is normalized into 'N' representative points. The sector area based object area normalization (OAN) technique is used for contour normalization. The centroid distance from all normalized points forms 1-D Compact Centroid Distance (CCD) feature vector. The experiments are conducted in MPEG-7 CE Shape-1 Part-B dataset images to test affine invariance property and image retrieval accuracy. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method in content-based image retrieval tasks.
