Image Retrieval using Artificial Bee Colony and K-means Algorithms

This book highlights a new hybrid technique that is dependent on artificial bee colony (ABC) and k-means algorithms to retrieve the most similar image to the image query. ABC algorithm guaranty an optimized clustering for the contents (Color and Texture: extracted using common methods) of images. The new technique is applied on set of images (Wang dataset), where it showed high positive result in term of retrieval precision.
