✦ Synopsis

Our starting point is gradient indexing, the characterization of texture by a feature vector that comprises a histogram derived from the image gradient field. We investigate the use of gradient indexing for texture recognition and image retrieval. We find that gradient indexing is a robust measure with respect to the number of bins and to the choice of the gradient operator. We also find that the gradient direction and magnitude are equally effective in recognizing different textures. Furthermore, a variant of gradient indexing called local activity spectrum is proposed and shown to have improved performance. Local activity spectrum is employed in an image retrieval system as the texture statistic. The retrieval system is based on a segmentation technique employing a distance measure called Sum of Minimum Distance. This system enables content-based retrieval of database images from templates of arbitrary size.

## Abstract Traditional content‐based image retrieval (CBIR) systems use low‐level features such as colors, shapes, and textures of images. Although, users make queries based on semantics, which are not easily related to such low‐level characteristics. Recent works on CBIR confirm that researchers

## Abstract In this article, we present an efficient approach for image retrieval based on the textural information of an image, such as orientation, directionality, and regularity. For this purpose, we apply the nonlinear modified discrete Radon transform to estimate these visual contents. We then

This paper provides a formal specification for concept-based image retrieval using triples. To effectively manage a vast amount of images, we may need an image retrieval system capable of indexing and searching images based on the characteristics of their content. However, such a content-based image
