“…Since there are two feature vectors in the proposed methods, the similarity weighting constants in Equation (17) will be successively set to {λ 1 = 1, λ 2 = 0}, {λ 1 = 0, λ 2 = 1}, and {λ 1 = 1, λ 2 = 1}, corresponding to the situations that only color feature, only texture feature, and their combination are respectively used for retrieval. In addition, several other image retrieval algorithms proposed in recent years are used in comparison, including image structure elements' histogram [23] (SEH), multi-trend structure descriptor [28] (MTSD), local structure descriptor [29] (LSD), and integrated LBP-based approach [30]. Tables 1-3 show the experimental results of the proposed methods on Corel-1k with {λ 1 = 1, λ 2 = 0}, {λ 1 = 0, λ 2 = 1}, and {λ 1 = 1, λ 2 = 1}, respectively.…”
