Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new method for content-based retrieval system using wavelet transform and correlation, which has were used in signal processing and image compressing. The matching method is used not perfect matching but similar matching. Used feature vector is the lowest frequency(LL) itself, energy value, and edge information of 4-layer, after computng a 4-layer 2-D fast wavelet transform on image. By the proosed algorithm, we got the result that was faste rand more accurate than the traditional algorithm. Because used feature vector was compressed 256:1 over original image, retrieval speed was highly improved. By using correlation, moving object with size variation was reterieved without additional feature information.
