The fuzzy linking color histogram considers not only the similarity of different colors from different bins but also the dissimilarity of those colors assigned to the same bin. Moreover, it projects the three-dimension histogram onto the one single-dimension histogram, which reduces the complexity of computation. Spatial fuzzy linking color histogram (SFLCH) combines fuzzy linking color histogram with spatial information that describes the color distribution of pixels in different regions. Meanwhile, the concept "color complexity" is defined in histogram similarity measure in order to add the influence of human vision perception to image retrieval. Compared with other methods, the modified fuzzy color histogram is proved to be more accurate and effective for the content-based image retrieval from the experimental results.
