【 摘 要 】

This paper elaborates on the selection of suitable similarity measure for content based image retrieval. It contains the analysis done after the application of similarity measure named Minkowiski Distance from order first to fifth. It also explains the effective use of similarity measure named correlation distance in the form of angle ‘cosè’ between two vectors. Feature vector database prepared for this experimentation is based on extraction of first four moments into 27 bins formed by partitioning the equalized histogram of R, G and B planes of image into three parts. This generates the feature vector of dimension 27. Image database used in this work includes 2000 BMP images from 20 different classes. Three feature vector databases of four moments namely Mean, Standard deviation, Skewness and Kurtosis are prepared for three color intensities (R, G and B) separately. Then system enters in the second phase of comparing the query image and database images which makes of set of similarity measures mentioned above. Results obtained using all distance measures are then evaluated using three parameters PRCP, LSRR and Longest String. Results obtained are then refined and narrowed by combining the three different results of three different colors R, G and B using criterion 3. Analysis of these results with respect to similarity measures describes the effectiveness of lower orders of Minkowiski distance as compared to higher orders. Use of Correlation distance also proved its best for these CBIR results.
