The color feature is described by the color histogram （CH）, which is translation and rotation invariant. However, the CH does not contain spatial information which is very important for the image retrieval. To overcome this shortcoming, the subband energy of the lifting directionlet transform （L-DT） is proposed to describe the directional information, in which L-DT is characterized by multi-direction and anisotropic basis functions compared with the wavelet transform. A global similarity measure is designed to implement the fusion of both color feature and anisotropic directionality for the retrieval process. The retrieval experiments using a set of COREL images demonstrate that the higher query precision and better visual effect can be achieved.展开更多

The proposed frameworkhas three major contributions： a novel feature descriptor calledcolor spectral histogram （CSH） to measure the similarity betweenimages; two-dimensional matrix based indexing approach proposedfor short-term learning （STL）; and long-term learning （LTL）.In general, image similarities are measured from feature representationwhich includes color quantization, texture, color, shapeand edges. However, CSH can describe the image feature onlywith the histogram. Typically the image retrieval process starts byfinding the similarity between the query image and the imagesin the database; the major computation involved here is that theselection of top ranking images requires a sorting algorithm to beemployed at least with the lower bound of O（n log n）.

Based on this theory, another ground is built with 12,000 images, which are divided into three classes: city, landscape and person, the total result of the classifications is 88.92%, meanwhile, some preliminary results are presented for image understanding based on semantic image classification and low level features.
