Abstract:

Color histogram matching has been shown to be a promising way of quickly indexing into a large image database. Yet, few experiments have been done to test the method on truly large databases, and even if they were performed, they would give little guidance to a user wondering if the technique would be useful with his or her database. In this paper we define and analyze a measure relevant to extending color histogram indexing to large databases capacity how many distinguishable histograms can be stored.
