Abstract:
Indexing and retrieving are two important tasks for color image databases. These tasks are possible when using the histogram as an efficient technique for content-based image retrieval domain. In this paper, a content-based image retrieval system that can be used in the medical domain is presented. The system is using an original combination of two types of histograms: a spatial color histogram and a texture histogram based on the Local Binary Pattern descriptor. Both histograms are computed in the HVC color space. The computation of the binary code associated to a Local Binary Pattern descriptor is made in an original manner using the NBS distance instead of using a simple difference between colors’ components
