Abstract

As color is a useful characteristic of our surrounding world, it gives clue for the recognition, indexing and retrieval of the images presenting the visual similarity. Thus, this paper focuses on the proper choice of the similarity measure applied to compare features evaluated in process the modeling of lossy coded color image information, based on the mixture approximation of chromaticity histogram. The analyzed similarity measure are those based on \(Kullback-Leibler\) Diverence, as Goldberger approximation and Variational approximation. Signature-based distance function as Hausdorff Distance, Perceptually Modified Hausdorff Distance and Earth \(Mover's\) Distance were also investigated. Retrieval results were obtained for RGB, I1I2I3, YUV, CIE XYZ, CIE \(L^*a^*b^*\), HSx, LSLM and TSL color spaces.
