The retrieval of features in a large-scale image database can improve the degree of visualization of images. The conventional method of feature-retrieval is a time-consuming process because it retrieves by searching the keywords. In this paper, a rapid feature retrieval method based on granular computing is proposed for use in a large-scale image database. In this method, we first collect and process the images from the database. Next, we construct a binary tree to realize the multi-class classification of the image features and complete the feature retrieval using support vector machines. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can effectively retrieve the features in the large-scale image database. The effectiveness of retrieval can reach more than 95%.
