In this paper, a new algorithm called Gabor wavelet correlogram (GWC) is proposed for image indexing and retrieval. GWC is an effort to extend our former wavelet correlogram algorithm by introducing rotation invariant features using Gabor wavelets...

coefficients of the image are computed first using a directional wavelet transform such as Gabor wavelets. A quantization step is then applied before computing one-directional autocorrelograms of the wavelet coefficients. Finally, index vectors are constructed...
