Abstract

The continuous growth of the internet and its diversified domains and tools; and the rapid development of new technologies have enormously increased the amount of digital images and consequently the dimension of the image data sets. Therefore, finding the relevant images to a query image in such database is a challenging task. Content-based image retrieval is the powerful method so far which use the visual characteristics of the image. The choice of these visual descriptors is a decisive phase in this area. This work presents a method which extracts the three image features which are: color, texture and shape based on the MPEG-7 standards. Then, the genetic algorithm is implemented for feature selection to provide the best extracted features to avoid unnecessary ones and reduce calculations and retrieval time. Meanwhile, the k-nearest neighbors algorithm is used to search for the relevant images. Finally, we will apply our method on two different image data-sets which contain images belonging to different domains to show the efficiency of selecting the correct features using meta-heuristic algorithms.
