Abstract: Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) feature descriptor is very effective to represent objects and is widely used in human and face detection. In this paper, HOG feature descriptor is applied for Content-based Image Retrieval (CBIR). For handling similarity measurement of large amount of database, vocabulary tree is used. Experimental results illustrate the comparative analysis of retrieval system based on HOG feature descriptor and Gabor transform feature descriptor. It is verified that HOG-based retrieval system improves Average Precision (AP) and Average Recall (AR) (56.75% and 38.45%, respectively) from Gabor-transform-based retrieval system (41.20% and 25.41%, respectively). All the experiments are performed on Corel 1000 natural image database.
