Abstract

This paper presents a method for content-based texture image retrieval using the Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) compression algorithm. Each texture image in the database is processed by a global histogram equalization filter, and then an LZW dictionary is constructed for the filtered texture and stored in the database. The LZW dictionaries thus constructed comprise a statistical model to the texture. In the query stage, each texture sample to be searched is processed by the histogram equalization filter and successively encoded by the LZW algorithm in static mode, using the stored dictionaries. The system retrieves a ranked list of images, sorted according to the coding rate achieved with each stored dictionary. Empirical results with textures from the Brodatz album show that the method achieves retrieval accuracy close to 100%.
