First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for performing an image search procedure with an electronic device, comprising:
- a histogram calculator that performs image analysis procedures to construct texture histograms corresponding to texture characteristics of images accessed by said electronic device; and
a feature detector that performs said image search procedure by comparing said texture histograms to identify one or more matching images in which said texture characteristics are similar.

Abstract
A system and method are disclosed for performing an image search procedure in which a histogram calculator initially performs image analysis procedures to construct horizontal and vertical texture histograms corresponding to texture characteristics of subject images. A feature detector may then perform the image search procedure by comparing the texture histograms to identify one or more matching images in which texture characteristics are most similar.
