Abstract: It is impossible to apply single feature to describe fish image which is characterized by large quantity and complicated features.A novel fish image retrieval method is proposed using multiple features as MFFIR and characterized to deal with the problem of the fish image retrieval.On the basis of analysis,a multi-features vector comprised of color histogram feature,color moment feature and Gabor feature is designed based correlation calculation method to calculate the similarity between images.The fish image retrieval method was described in detail,and some experiments were designed to test the performance of MFFIR on“QUT_fish_data”dataset and“DLOU_fish_ data”dataset.The findings show that MFFIR has good performance and robust.
