In content-based image retrieval technology,color has been widely used as a kind of important image visual information.Compared with the geometrical character of image, color has certain stability and strong robustness to zoom, parallel move and rotate.Currently there are a lot of image retrieval technologies which own their own limitations.This paper puts forward an image retrieval method based on color and location,which is available for mobile platform.This paper adopts a histogram method in color characteristics and uses block color method to solve the color space distribution.Combined with the location-based service(LBS),this method can effectively improve the performance of image retrieval on the mobile platform.
