Summary
| The dominant color descriptor is useful for image and video retrieval. It targets content-based retrieval for color, either for the whole image or for any arbitrary shaped region (rectangular or irregular). It is a very compact descriptor, requiring less than 6-8 colors per region. Since colors are not pre-quantized as in the histogram type color descriptors, the representation is more accurate. To accomplish high accuracy in retrieval, Spatial Coherency and/or Color Variance can be utilized. It is intended for applications that use object based representations (objects or regions in an image).
