为提高基于内容的图像检索系统中纹理特征提取的有效性,提出了又一种纹理图像检索方法。该方法

利用非下采样 Contourlet变换对图像进行分解, 提取不同子带和不同方向变换系数矩阵的均值和方差为特征向量, 作

为数据库中纹理图像的索引,并利用两种不同的相似度函数计算图像之间的相似度,建立了一套基于示例查询图像

的纹理图像检索系统。实验结果表明,与小波包等特征提取方法相比, 该方法不仅能降低特征向量维数,而且能取得

更高的检索准确率和检索速度。-To i ncrease t he vali d ity o f tex t ure feature ex tracti on in conten t-based i mage retrieva l syste m, a nove l approach
