Abstract

In this paper content based image retrieval of x-ray images using fusion of spectral & shape features is discussed. Texture analysis and shape description are two of the key parts of image content description. Most of the existing descriptors are usually either application dependent or non-robust so we have used spectral measure for content analysis and Fourier descriptors for shape analysis. From x-ray database of 210 images, 198 images where successfully retrieved which resulted in an efficiency of the CBIR system of 94.28%.
