Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR): Using Combined Color and Texture Features (TriCLR and HistLBP)

Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is a broad research field in the current digital world. This paper focuses on content-based image retrieval based on visual properties, consisting of high-level semantic information. The variation between low-level and high-level features is identified as a semantic gap. The semantic gap is the biggest problem in CBIR. The visual characteristics are extracted from low-level features such as color, texture and shape. The low-level feature increases CBIRs performance level. The paper mainly focuses on an image retrieval system called combined color (TriCLR) (RGB, YCbCr, and [Formula: see text]) with the histogram of texture features in LBP (HistLBP), which, is known as a hybrid of three colors (TriCLR) with Histogram of LBP (TriCLR and HistLBP). The study also discusses the hybrid method in light of low-level features. Finally, the hybrid approach uses the (TriCLR and HistLBP) algorithm, which provides a new solution to the CBIR system that is better than the existing methods.
