ABSTRACT:
A system and method for utilizing a graphic equalizer in performing image search procedures includes a histogram calculator for creating sets of histograms that represent corresponding images. A graphic equalizer is configured to select weighting parameters for performing the image search procedure. A feature detector calculates distance measures between histogram comparison pairs of a query image and subject images. The feature detector applies the weighting parameters to the distance measures to produce weighted distance measures. The feature detector next combines the weighted distance measures from the histogram comparison pairs to produce a composite distance measure for each of the subject images. The feature detector may then identify one or more of the subject images that are similar to the query image by analyzing the composite distance measures.
