Review Paper on Content Based Image Retrieval

Abstract

More development of multimedia technology and the rapidly increasing image collections on the Internet have involved important research efforts in providing tools for effective image retrieval, storage and access of image. This paper provides the survey of technical achievements in the research area of image retrieval. A survey is done on the different methods of content based image retrieval for the color, texture and shape. In this paper, the basic components of content-based image retrieval system are introduced. Content Based Image retrieval (CBIR) is the process of retrieving and displaying relevant images from a image database on the basis of its visual content (color, texture and shape). Traditional text based image retrieval (TBIR) doesn't meet the users demand and the need for CBIR development arose due to the enormous increase in image database sizes. This paper reviews the feature extraction methods, which has became one of the key factor in CBIR.
