In Proceedings of the 10th British Machine Vision Conference

Nottingham, U.K., pp. 103-112, 13-16 September 1999.In this paper a new colour space for content based image retrieval is presented, which is based upon psychophysical research into human perception. It provides both the ability to measure similarity and determine dissimilarity, using fuzzy logic and psychologically based set theoretic similarity measurement. These properties are shown to be equal or superior to conventional colour spaces. Example applications are also demonstrated.
