Abstract

The article presents a comparative study over two methods used in content-based visual query. The two methods refer at two different color systems used for representing color information from images: HSV quantized to 166 colors and l1l2l3 quantized to 64 colors. The originality of the study comes from the fact that it was made on a database with medical images from digestive tract area, captured by an endoscope. The scope was to check the quality of the content-based visual query on images representing five different diagnoses (colitis, ulcer, esophagitis, polyps and ulcerous tumor) and taking into consideration that some parameters were modified during the capturing process: viewing direction, intensity and direction of the illumination, parameters that affect mostly the medical images captured during the diagnosis process.
