An Enhanced Triadic Color Scheme for Content-Based Image Retrieval

Abstract

The complexity of multimedia content, particularly images, has risen dramatically in recent years, and millions of images are shared on social media every day. Finding or retrieving an appropriate image is becoming more difficult due to the increase in the volume of shared and archived multimedia data. Any image retrieval model must, at a bare minimum, locate and classify images that are visually related to the user’s query. The vast majority of Internet search engines employ text algorithms that fetch images using captions as input. Even though there is a lot of study being done to increase the effectiveness of automatic image annotation, retrieval errors can occur due to differences in visual perception. Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) addresses the aforementioned issue because visual analysis of the content is included in the query image. On the other hand, feature extraction is significantly challenging because of semantic gap. This work proposes a strategy for effective retrieval in similarity images using the triadic color scheme RGB, YCbCr, and L ∗ a ∗ b ∗ based on reranking. We want to increase image similarity and encourage more relevant reranking. As a result of the findings, it can be concluded that a triadic color scheme improves precision by 5% more dramatically than existing schemes and also efficiently improves retrieved results while reducing user effort.
