Abstract
Embodiments of a color image matching scheme are disclosed. In one embodiment, a pixel intensity count is determined for color components of color images in a database and for a query color image. A fuzzy similarity and/or a fuzzy dissimilarity between the query image and the database images is computed based at least in part on the pixel intensities counts. An image is selected from the database based at least in part on the computed fuzzy similarity and/or dissimilarity, where computing a fuzzy similarity and/or dissimilarity includes computing the matching intensity. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
