Chapter 21. An empirical study on fabric image retrieval with multispectral images using colour and pattern features

Abstract
This article presents technical details of a fabric image retrieval system using multispectral images. The goal of the system is to retrieve similar fabric images effectively and efficiently when given a query image. The web-based retrieval system can be accessed through web browsers. The database contains 2,100 fabric images of both yarn-dyed and printed fabrics with a high variety of colours and patterns. The images were captured using the 16-channel multispectral Imaging Colour Measurement (ICM) System for ensuring colour accuracy. Six retrieval models are investigated and compared. Three of the models use colour features while the other three use local pattern features. Future research directions in fabric image retrieval are proposed.
