abstract = {In this paper, our goal is to analyze and evaluate various
colour features to be used for the purpose of image retrieval by
color-metric histogram matching independent of varying imaging
conditions.
In theory, we will examine the effect of a change in camera viewpoint,
object surface orientation, illumination intensity, and illumination
color for the color features under a simple reflection model.
To evaluate photometric color invariance in practice, experiments have
been carried out on a database consisting of 500 images taken from
multicolored man-made objects in real world scenes. Images in the
database show a considerable amount of noise, shadows, shading and
specularities resulting in a good representation of views from everyday
life as it appears in home video and consumer photography in general.},
