Abstract
This paper presents a study about the application of Zernike invariants to content-based Image Retrieval for 2D color images. Zernike invariants have been chosen because of their good performance for object recognition. Taking into account the good results achieved in previous CBIR experiments with color based primitives using a multiresolution representation of the visual contents, this paper presents the application of a wavelet transform to the images in order to obtain a multiresolution representation of the shape based features studied. Experiments have been performed using two databases: the first one is a small self-made 2D color database formed by 298 RGB images and a test set with 1655 query images that has been used for preliminary tests; the second one is Also experiments using the Amsterdam Library of Object Images (ALOI), a free access database. Experimental results show the feasibility of this new approach.
