针对基于颜色直方图的静态图象检索，提出了自动构造全局参考颜色表和自带参考颜色表的算法，解决了Swain算法中存储量与计算量过大的问题，同时给出了一个发层聚类构造二叉树式分层索引数据结构的方法 。

Content-Based image retrieval (CBIR),which is the mixture of image understanding and multimedia, is becoming a key technique in next generation large scale intelligent multimedia database. In this paper, we present three algorithms to support color histogram based on retrieval in logo image database. The first two algorithms are used to reduce the complexity in Swain’s algorithm,and the thired one is used to make binary tree structure for quick retrieval.
