Abstract

Content based image retrieval systems use for description of image queries and
images in a database their own color, texture and shape properties. This paper
focuses on the description of texture properties of images. A technique for
texture image description is proposed, which consists of two steps: an analysis
of particular texture samples obtained by an image uniform sampling followed by
the k-means algorithm, which is applied for partitioning feature vectors from
this analysis into image regions. The use of this approach is also presented,
mainly in respect of natural textures with a size gradient. This technique was
used in an experimental texture retrieval system too. An example of a query and
a retrieval result are included as well.
