A novel color feature descriptor, Multichannel Distributed Local Pattern\n(MDLP) is proposed in this manuscript. The MDLP combines the salient features\nof both local binary and local mesh patterns in the neighborhood. The\nmulti-distance information computed by the MDLP aids in robust extraction of\nthe texture arrangement. Further, MDLP features are extracted for each color\nchannel of an image. The retrieval performance of the MDLP is evaluated on the\nthree benchmark datasets for CBIR, namely Corel-5000, Corel…
