Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) uses the visual features of an image such as color, shape and texture to represent and index the image. In a typical content based image retrieval system, a set of images that exhibit visual features similar to that of the query image are returned in response to a query. CLUE (CLUster based image rEtrieval) is a popular CBIR technique that retrieves images by clustering. In this paper, we propose a CBIR system that also retrieves images by clustering just like CLUE. But, the proposed system combines all the features (shape, color, and texture) with a threshold for the purpose. The combination of all the features provides a robust feature set for image retrieval. We evaluated the performance of the proposed system using images of varying size and resolution from image database and compared its performance with that of the other two existing CBIR systems namely UFM and CLUE. We have used four different resolutions of image. Experimentally, we find that the proposed system outperforms the other two existing systems in ecery resolution of image.

With the rapid progress of network technologies and multimedia data, information retrieval techniques gradually become content-based, and not text-based yet. In this paper, we propose a content-based image retrieval system to query similar images in a real image database. First, we employ segmentation and main object detection to separate the main object from an image. Then, we extract MPEG-7 features from the object and select relevant features using the SAHS algorithm. Next, two approaches “one-against- all” and “one-against-one” are proposed to build the classifiers based on SVM. To further reduce indexing complexity, K-means clustering is used to generate MPEG-7 signatures. Thus, we combine the classes predicted by the classifiers and the results based on the MPEG-7 signatures, and find out the similar images to a query image. Finally, the experimental results show that our method is feasible in image searching from the real image database and more effective than the other methods.

            An image retrieval system is a computer system for browsing, looking and recovering pictures from a huge database of advanced pictures. The objective of Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) methods is essentially to extract, from large (image) databases, a specified number of images similar in visual and semantic content to a so-called query image. The researchers were developing a new mechanism to retrieval systems which is mainly based on two procedures. The first procedure relies on extract the statistical feature of both original, traditional image by using the histogram and statistical characteristics (mean, standard deviation). The second procedure relies on the T- test to measure the independence between more than images, (coefficient of correlate, T- test, Level of significance, find the decision), and, through experimental test, it was found that this proposed method of retrieval technique is powerful than the classical retrieval System.

Content Based Image Retrieval system automatically retrieves the most relevant images to the query image by extracting the visual features instead of keywords from images. Over the years, several researches have been conducted in this field but the system still faces the challenge of semantic gap and subjectivity of human perception. This paper proposes the extraction of low-level visual features by employing color moment, Local Binary Pattern and Canny Edge Detection techniques for extracting color, texture and edge features respectively. The combination of these features is used in conjunction with Support Vector Machine to reduce the retrieval time and improve the overall precision. Also, the challenge of semantic gap between low and high level features is addressed by incorporating Relevance Feedback. Average precision value of 0.782 was obtained by combining the color, texture and edge features, 0.896 was obtained by using combined features with SVM, 0.882 was obtained by using combined features with Relevance Feedback to overcome the challenge of semantic gap. Experimental results exhibit improved performance than other state of the art techniques.

Content-Based Image Retrieval is a process to retrieve the similar images from the large set of image database corresponding to the query image. In CBIR low level or pixel level features such as color, texture and shape of the images are extracted and on the basis of similarity matching algorithm the required similar kind of images are retrieved from the image database. To understand the evaluation and evolution of CBIR system various research was studied and various research is going on this way also. In this paper, we have discussed some of the popular pixel level feature extraction techniques for Content-Based Image Retrieval and we also present here about the performance of each technique.

Development of Content-Based Image Retrieval systems supports retrieval of similar images based on selected features. Selection of appropriate features for this process is a difficult task. In this regard, deep learning concept helps in choosing appropriate features for retrieval. In this work, Content-Based Image Retrieval system is proposed using Convolution Neural Network known as Residual Neural Network model. The dataset used to build retrieval system is collection of web images 50,000 of 250 categories. The model is trained on 40% of image data and tested on 60% of data. When user submits a query image from the client-side, similar features are extracted by the model on server-side. Later, the features of query image are compared with trained images data and similarity is measured using the metric of Euclidean distance. The retrieved resultant images are displayed on Graphical User Interface. The results are comparatively higher with the existing systems. The proposed work is also compared with Google’s Image retrieval system for random query images and our proposed work has shown a better performance by 14.27%.

In diverse computer applications, the analysis of image content plays a key role. This image content might be either textual (like text appearing in the images) or visual (like shape, color, texture). These two image contents consist of image’s basic features and therefore turn out to be as the major advantage for any of the implementation. Many of the art models are based on the visual search or annotated text for Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) models. There is more demand toward multitasking, a new method needs to be introduced with the combination of both textual and visual features. This paper plans to develop the intelligent CBIR system for the collection of different benchmark texture datasets. Here, a new descriptor named Information Oriented Angle-based Local Tri-directional Weber Patterns (IOA-LTriWPs) is adopted. The pattern is operated not only based on tri-direction and eight neighborhood pixels but also based on four angles [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text]. Once the patterns concerning tri-direction, eight neighborhood pixels, and four angles are taken, the best patterns are selected based on maximum mutual information. Moreover, the histogram computation of the patterns provides the final feature vector, from which the new weighted feature extraction is performed. As a new contribution, the novel weight function is optimized by the Improved MVO on random basis (IMVO-RB), in such a way that the precision and recall of the retrieved image is high. Further, the proposed model has used the logarithmic similarity called Mean Square Logarithmic Error (MSLE) between the features of the query image and trained images for retrieving the concerned images. The analyses on diverse texture image datasets have validated the accuracy and efficiency of the developed pattern over existing.
