Abstract

We describe a solution to the problem of indexing imagesof flowers for searching a flower patents database by color.We use a natural language color classification derived fromthe ISCC-NBS color system and the X Window color namesto effectively use the domain knowledge available, provideperceptually correct retrieval and allow natural languagequeries. We have developed an automatic iterative segmentationalgorithm with knowledge-driven feedback to isolatea flower region from the background. The color of the floweris defined by the color names present in the flower regionand their relative proportions. The database can be queriedby example and by color names. We demonstrate the effectivenessof the strategy on a test database.

Color Constant Color Indexing

Objects can be recognized on the basis of their color alone by color indexing, a technique developed by Swain and Ballard [15] which involves matching color-space histograms. Color indexing fails, however, when the incident illumination varies either ...
Indexing Flower Patent Images Using Domain Knowledge

The authors describe a new approach to indexing a specialized database using the color and spatial domain knowledge available for the database. They illustrate their approach by using it to solve the problem of indexing flower images when searching a ...
Efficient edge-preserving algorithm for color contrast enhancement with application to color image segmentation

In this paper, a new and efficient edge-preserving algorithm is presented for color contrast enhancement in CIE Lu^'v^' color space. The proposed algorithm not only can enhance the color contrast as the previous algorithm does, but also has an edge-...
