Image Retrieval Using the Modified Intersecting Cortical Model

The intersecting cortical model(ICM) is driven from the pulse-coupled neural networks (PCNN), and a lot of works have been done on it. In this paper, we have proposed a method, which is modified from the PCNN, to retrieval the image. This method uses the iteration times of the ICM as the feature, and we do it repeatedly. So we will get the feature vectors and utilize the features to retrieval the image. And the experimental results have proved the effectiveness of the proposed method. While the proposed method shows some advantages like the feature curves are linear and steady.
