Content Based Image Retrieval Using Gray Scale Weighted Average Method

Abstract

High feature vector dimension quietly remained a curse element for Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) system which eventually degrades its efficiency while indexing similar images from database. This paper proposes CBIR system using Gray Scale Weighted Average technique for reducing the feature vector dimension. The proposed method is more suitable for color and texture image feature analysis as compared to color weighted average method as illustrated in literature review. To prove the effectiveness of retrieval system, two standard benchmark dataset namely, Wang and Amsterdam Library of Texture Images (A LOT) for color and texture have been selected to evaluate the system retrieval accuracies as well as efficiencies generated by each method. For the purpose of image similarity, Euclidean distance has been employed which matches query image feature vector with image database feature vectors. The experimental results generated by two methods showed that overall performance of the proposed method is relatively better in terms of average precision, average recall and its average retrieval time.
