An efficient image retrieval based on HSV color space

We propose an efficient image retrieval scheme to retrieve images. We extract the color pixel features by the HSV color space .The proposed scheme transfers each image to a quantized color code using the regulations of the properties in compliance with HSV model. Subsequently, using the quantized color code to compare the images of database. We succeed in transferring the image retrieval problem to quantized color code comparison. Thus the computational complexity is decreased obviously. Our results illustrate it has merits both of the content based image retrieval system and a text based image retrieval system.
