Abstract

A method to determine image similarities. The method may include obtaining a first image and a second image and determining a discrete transform difference between a first discrete transform of the first image and a second discrete transform of the second image. The method may also include determining multiple first intensity vectors for the first image and determining multiple second intensity vectors for the second image. The method may also include determining an intensity vector difference between the multiple first intensity vectors and the multiple second intensity vectors and determining a color difference between a first color histogram of the first image and a second color histogram of the second image. The method may also include determining a similarity between the first image and the second image based on the discrete transform difference, the intensity vector difference, and the color difference.
