Image Retrieval Using Spatial Color and Edge Detection.

To improve the effectiveness and efficiency of CBIR systems, in this paper, we present a novel IR scheme with multiple features, the spatial color and edge percentage features, derived by way of moment-preserving edge detection. Put the above two features together, we come by an effective and efficient IR system. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms other similar methods in terms of accuracy and retrieval efficiency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
