Abstract:
Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) system using Contourlet
Transform (CT) based features with high retrieval rate and
less computational complexity is proposed in this paper.
Unique properties of CT like directionality and anisotropy
made it a powerful tool for feature extraction of images in
the database. Improved results in terms of computational
complexity and retrieval efficiency are observed over recent
work based on Gabor-Zernike features based CBIR system. The
distance measures viz., Manhattan distance and Euclidean
distance are used as similarity measures in the proposed
CBIR system. Superiority of Manhattan distance is observed
over Euclidean distance in terms of average retrieval rate.
Keywords:
CBIR, Feature extraction, Contourlet transform,
Directionality, and Anisotropy.
