Features for Image Retrieval: A Quantitative Comparison

Abstract. In this paper, different well-known features for image retrieval are quantitatively compared and their correlation is analyzed. We compare the features for two different image retrieval tasks (color photographs and medical radiographs) and a clear difference in performance is observed, which can be used as a basis for an appropriate choice of features. In the past a systematic analysis of image retrieval systems or features was often difficult because different studies usually used different data sets and no common performance measures were established.
