Abstract—In this paper novel image retrieval techniques based on features extracted from Kekre transform applied on row mean, column mean and combination are presented. Further the concept of image tiling is added to these to get total of 26 novel CBIR techniques. Proposed image retrieval techniques are applied to image database of 1000 images spread across 11 categories. Experimentation shows that taking row mean, column mean and combination improves the performance of image retrieval as compared to taking Kekre Transform of full image. Also image tiling slightly helps in improving the image retrieval techniques.

Index Terms—CBIR, Kekre Transform, Row Mean,Column Mean, Image Tiling.
