Abstract: The paper presents new methods for image content indexing by the use of color temperature feature. A descriptor for dominant color temperature is introduced, for which two types of queries are discussed: a query by color temperature value and a query by example. Finally, a data structure for search optimized storage of the introduced descriptor is proposed and evaluated.
