TRANSFORM CODING OF RGB-HISTOGRAMS

Abstract

In this paper we introduce the representation theory of the symmetric group~$ SPG$ as a tool to investigate the structure of the space of $RGB$-histograms. We show that the theory reveals that typical histogram spaces are highly structured and that these structures originate partly in group theoretically defined symmetries. The algorithms exploit this structure and constructs a PCA like decomposition without the need to construct correlation or covariance matrices and their eigenvectors. We implemented these algorithms and investigate their properties with the help of two real-world databases (one from an image provider and one from a image search engine company) containing over one million images.
