Comparative study of color histograms as global feature for Image Retrieval
Color histograms are one of the earliest and best known image features used in Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR). There is a wealth of scientific work on this topic. However, different papers vary in the specific ways of determining histograms and distance between them. In this paper authors attempt to classify various types of histograms used in literature and compare them using contemporary datasets and metrics for evaluation. Histograms are compared based on their retrieval performance as well as resource usage.
