Image retrieval has emerged as an important problem in multimedia database management. This paper uses the color distribution, the mean value and the standard deviation, of an image as global information for image retrieval. Furthermore, this paper uses the common bitmap to represent the local characteristics of the image. The performance of the method is tested on three different image databases consisting of 410, 235, and 10,235 images. The third database has been partitioned into 10 categories for exploring the category retrieval ability. According to the experimental results, we find that the proposed method can effectively retrieve more similar images than other methods and the category ability is also higher than others. In addition, the total memory space for saving the image features of the proposed method is less than other methods. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
