ABSTRACT:
A method for quantization of a color histogram bin value of an image or video, and more particularly, a method for non-uniform quantization of a color histogram bin value of an image (or video) according to the frequency of color occurrence is provided. The methods effectively represent the characteristics of a color histogram of an image in comparison to conventional art, and improve the performance of image retrieval when an image (video) retrieval search is conducted.
