Abstract :
Color image retrieval is becoming more and more important, and so is the quest for automated and reliable retrieval systems. In this paper we present and illustrate a new color image retrieval system, of which the novelty lies in the use of a fuzzy partition of the HSI color space and fuzzy similarity measures. The system has the advantage that the images don´t have to be characterized in advance using several features, and it is quite flexible since the database images are not required to have the same dimensions.
