The CBIR is performed in two steps: features extraction in images and similarity measurement for searching of similar images in image database. For efficient and effective CBIR system the features extraction must be fast and the searching must be accurate. In the proposed algorithm, the effective retrieval of the similar images from the database is based on the efficient extraction of the local statistical color moment features without using the spatial features of images. The basic idea in this algorithm is to convert the color RGB (Red Green and Blue) image into grayscale image to reduce the computations in feature extraction and to increase the efficiency. The grayscale image is divided into non-overlapping blocks of different sizes. The local statistical color moment features are extracted in all blocks. The features are combined into a feature vector. The similarity is measured by using Sum-of-Absolute Difference (SAD) to measure the similarity between query image and database images. In the experiment, the efficiency of feature extraction and accuracy of the image retrieval are measured for different block size methods using the proposed algorithm. The Corel database is used for testing. The results show that the proposed CBIR algorithm provides higher performance in terms of efficiency and accuracy. © Maxwell Scientific Organization, 2012. date: 2012 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84862063833&partnerID=40&md5=cb30efa0a20fa6f7ccc85a6c64deb694 full_text_status: none publication: Research Journal of Applied Sciences, Engineering and Technology volume: 4 number: 9 pagerange: 1215-1224 refereed: TRUE issn: 20407459 citation: Malik, F. and Baharudin, B.
