Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is an emerging research area in computer vision, in which, we yield similar images as per the query content. For the implementation of CBIR system, feature extraction plays a vital role, where colour feature is quite remarkable. But, due to unevenly colored or achromatic surfaces, the role of texture is also important. In this paper, an efficient and fast CBIR system is proposed, which is based on a fusion of computationally light weighted colour and texture features; chromaticity moment, colour percentile, and local binary pattern (LBP). Using these features with multiclass classifier, the authors propose a supervised query image classification and retrieval model, which filters all irrelevant class images. Basically, this model categorizes and recovers the class of a query image based on its visual content, and this successful classification of image significantly enhances the performance and searching time of retrieval system. Descriptive experimental analysis on benchmark databases confirms the effectiveness of proposed retrieval framework.

Of late, the amount of digital X-ray images that are produced in hospitals is increasing incredibly fast. Efficient storing, processing and retrieving of X-ray images have thus become an important research topic. With the exponential need that arises in the search for the clinically relevant and visually similar medical images over a vast database, the arena of digital imaging techniques is forced to provide a potential and path-breaking methodology in the midst of technical advancements so as to give the best match in accordance to the user’s query image. CBIR helps doctors to compare X-rays of their current patients with images from similar cases and they could also use these images as queries to find the similar entries in the X-ray database. This paper focuses on six different classes of X-ray images, viz. chest, skull, foot, spine, pelvic and palm for efficient image retrieval. Initially the various X-rays are automatically classified into the six-different classes using BPNN and SVM as classifiers and GLCM co-efficient as features for classification. Indexing is done to make the retrieval fast and retrieval of similar images is based on the city block distance.

The rapid advancement and exponential evolution in the multimedia applications raised the attentional research on content-based image retrieval (CBIR). The technique has a significant role for searching and finding similar images to the query image through extracting the visual features. In this paper, an approach of two layers of search has been developed which is known as two-layer based CBIR. The first layer is concerned with comparing the query image to all images in the dataset depending on extracting the local feature using bag of features (BoF) mechanism which leads to retrieve certain most similar images to the query image. In other words, first step aims to eliminate the most dissimilar images to the query image to reduce the range of search in the dataset of images. In the second layer, the query image is compared to the images obtained in the first layer based on extracting the (texture and color)-based features. The Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Local Binary Pattern (LBP) were used as texture features. However, for the color features, three different color spaces were used, namely RGB, HSV, and YCbCr. The color spaces are utilized by calculating the mean and entropy for each channel separately. Corel-1K was used for evaluating the proposed approach. The experimental results prove the superior performance of the proposed concept of two-layer over the current state-of-the-art techniques in terms of precision rate in which achieved 82.15% and 77.27% for the top-10 and top-20, respectively.


In this paper, we proposed a fusion feature extraction method for content based image retrieval. The feature is extracted by focusing on the texture and shape features of the visual image by using the Local Binary Pattern (LBP – texture feature) and Edge Histogram Descriptor (EHD – shape feature). The SVD is used for decreasing the number of the feature vector of images. The Kd-tree is used for reducing the retrieval time. The input to this system is a query image and Database (the reference images) and the output is the top n most similar images for the query image. The proposed system is evaluated by using (precision and recall) to measure the retrieval effectiveness. The values of the recall are between [43% –93%] and the average recall is 64.3%. The values of precision are between [30%-100%] and the average is 72.86% for the entire system and for both databases

Content Based Image Retrieval is an interesting and most emerging field in the area of ‘Image Search’, finding similar images for the given query image from the image database. Current approaches include the use of color, texture and shape information. Considering these features in individual, most of the retrievals are poor in results and sometimes we are getting some non relevant images for the given query image. So, this dissertation proposes a method in which combination of color and texture features of the image is used to improve the retrieval results in terms of its accuracy. For color, color histogram based color correlogram technique and for texture wavelet decomposition technique is used. Color and texture based image

Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) systems retrieve images from the image repository or database in which they are visually similar to the query image. CBIR plays an important role in various fields such as medical diagnosis, crime prevention, web-based searching, and architecture. CBIR consists mainly of two stages: The first is the extraction of features and the second is the matching of similarities. There are several ways to improve the efficiency and performance of CBIR, such as segmentation, relevance feedback, expansion of queries, and fusion-based methods. The literature has suggested several methods for combining and fusing various image descriptors. In general, fusion strategies are typically divided into two groups, namely early and late fusion strategies. Early fusion is the combination of image features from more than one descriptor into a single vector before the similarity computation, while late fusion refers either to the combination of outputs produced by various retrieval systems or to the combination of different rankings of similarity. In this study, a group of color and texture features is proposed to be used for both methods of fusion strategies. Firstly, an early combination of eighteen color features and twelve texture features are combined into a single vector representation and secondly, the late fusion of three of the most common distance measures are used in the late fusion stage. Our experimental results on two common image datasets show that our proposed method has good performance retrieval results compared to the traditional way of using single features descriptor and also has an acceptable retrieval performance compared to some of the state-of-the-art methods. The overall accuracy of our proposed method is 60.6% and 39.07% for Corel-1K and GHIM-10K ‎datasets, respectively.

Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) system generally retrieves images based on the matching of the query image from all the images of the database. This exhaustive matching and searching slow down the image retrieval process. In this paper, a fast and effective CBIR system is proposed which uses supervised learning-based image management and retrieval techniques. It utilizes machine learning approaches as a prior step for speeding up image retrieval in the large database. For the implementation of this, first, we extract statistical moments and the orthogonal-combination of local binary patterns (OC-LBP)-based computationally light weighted color and texture features. Further, using some ground truth annotation of images, we have trained the multi-class support vector machine (SVM) classifier. This classifier works as a manager and categorizes the remaining images into different libraries. However, at the query time, the same features are extracted and fed to the SVM classifier. SVM detects the class of query and searching is narrowed down to the corresponding library. This supervised model with weighted Euclidean Distance (ED) filters out maximum irrelevant images and speeds up the searching time. This work is evaluated and compared with the conventional model of the CBIR system on two benchmark databases, and it is found that the proposed work is significantly encouraging in terms of retrieval accuracy and response time for the same set of used features.

Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) is an research area over the past years that has attracted research. In various medical applications like mammogram analysis CBIR techniques helps the medical team to get similar set of images from a large medical records to help in diagnosis of a disease. This paper proposes an efficient Content-Based Mammogram Image Retrieval method by using an Optimized Classifier. Initially, the input dataset is preprocessed, in which noise removal and contrast enhancement are done. Next, pectoral muscles of the mammogram images are removed using Single Sided Edge Marking (SSEM). Now, feature extraction is done, in which GLCM features, Gabor features and the Local Pattern with Binary features are being removed. The features that are being removed are classified into three classes namely benign, malignant and normal. An optimized classifier named as Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), which is optimized by using the Improved Particle Swarm Optimization (IPSO) technique, is used for classification purpose. Finally, similarity is assessed between the trained feature distance vectors and the feature distance vectors of the input query image. Similarity assessment is done using Euclidean Distance metric and the image that has the lowest distance compared with the query is retrieved. The experimental results are obtained for the proposed system and they are compared with the existing techniques.
