There has been a profound expansion of digital data both in terms of quality and heterogeneity. Trivial searching techniques of images by using metadata, keywords or tags are not sufficient. Efficient Content-based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is certainly the only solution to this problem. Difference between colors of two images can be an important metric to measure their similarity or dissimilarity. Content-based Image Retrieval is all about generating signatures of images in database and comparing the signature of the query image with these stored signatures. Color histogram can be used as signature of an image and used to compare two images based on certain distance metric.In this study, COREL Database is used for an exhaustive study of various distance metrics on different color spaces. Euclidean distance, Manhattan distance, Histogram Intersection and Vector Cosine Angle distances are used to compare histograms in both RGB and HSV color spaces. So, a total of 8 distance metrics for comparison of images for the sake of CBIR are discussed in this work.

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.

This (German) bachelor thesis discusses to what extent the feature color helps for content-based image retrieval. It analyses the use of different color spaces as well as different spatial segmentations of the image. It seems that color alone is not a very helpful feature for content-based image retrieval.

Content based image retrieval (CBIR), is an application of real-world computer vision domain where from a query image, similar images are searched from the database. The research presented in this paper aims to find out best features and classification model for optimum results for CBIR system.Five different set of feature combinations in two different color domains (i.e., RGB & HSV) are compared and evaluated using Neural Network Classifier, where best results obtained are 88.2% in terms of classifier accuracy. Color moments feature used comprises of: Mean, Standard Deviation,Kurtosis and Skewness. Histogram features is calculated via 10 probability bins. Wang-1k dataset is used to evaluate the CBIR system performance for image retrieval.Research concludes that integrated multi-level 3D color-texture feature yields most accurate results and also performs better in comparison to individually computed color and texture features.

Now-a-days, because of the advancement in the digital technology and the use of internet, a huge amount of digital data is available in the form of medical images, remote sensing, digital museums, geographical information, etc. This has lead to the need of accurate and efficient techniques for the search and retrieval of relevant images from such voluminous datasets. Content based image retrieval (CBIR) is one such approach which is increasingly being used to search and retrieve query image from the databases. CBIR combines features of color, texture as well as shape which ease out the process of extracting desired information from the retrieved images. This paper pre- sents a systematic and a detailed review of the CBIR method along with the different databases and evaluation parameters used for the analysis. An attempt has been made to include an exhaustive literature survey of the various CBIR approaches. 


With tremendous growth in social media and digital technologies, generation, storing and transfer of huge amount of information over the internet is on the rise. Images or visual mode of communication have been prevailing and widely accepted as a mode of communication since ages. And with the growth of internet, the rate at which images are generated is growing exponentially. But the methods used to retrieve images are still very slow and inefficient, compared to the rate of increase in image databases. To cope up with this explosive increase in images, this information age has seen huge research advancement in Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR). CBIR systems provide a way of utilizing the 3 major ways in which content is portrayed in images, those are shape, texture and color. In CBIR system, features are extracted from query image and similarity is found with features stored in database for retrieval. This provides an objective way of image retrieval, which is more efficient compared to subjective human annotation. Application specific CBIR systems have been developed and perform really well, but Generic CBIR systems are still under developed. Block Truncation Coding (BTC) has been chosen as a feature extractor. BTC applied directly on input image provides color content-based features of image and BTC applied after applying LBP on the image provide texture content-based features of image. Previous work consists of either color, shape or texture, but usage of more than one descriptor is still in research and might give better performance. The paper presents framework for color and texture feature fusion in content-based image retrieval using block truncation coding with color spaces. Experimentation is carried out on Wang Dataset of 1000 images consisting of 10 classes. Each class has 100 images in it. Obtained results have shown performance improvement using fusion of BTC extracted color features and texture features extracted with BTC applied on Local Binary Patterns (LBP). Conversion of color space from RGB to LUV is done using Kekre's LUV.

In a world of multimedia information, where users seek accurate results against search query and demand relevant multimedia content retrieval, developing an accurate content-based image retrieval (CBIR) system is difficult due to the presence of noise in the image. The performance of the CBIR system is impaired by this noise. To estimate the distance between the query and database images, CBIR systems use image feature representation. The noise or artifacts present within the visual data might confuse the CBIR when retrieving relevant results. Therefore, we propose Noise Resilient Local Gradient Orientation (NRLGO) feature representation that overcomes the noise factor within the visual information and strengthens the CBIR to retrieve accurate and relevant results. The proposed NRLGO consists of three steps: estimation and removal of noise to protect the local visual structure; extraction of color, texture, and local contrast features; and, at the end, generation of microstructure for visual representation. The Manhattan distance between the query image and the database image is used to measure their similarity. The proposed technique was tested using the Corel dataset, which contains 10000 images from 100 different categories. The outcomes of the experiment signify that the proposed NRLGO has higher retrieval performance in comparison with state-of-the-art techniques.

Due to vast enhancement in the field of visual technology, there are various sets of images. In order to reduce the complexity in retrieval of relevant images CBIR (Content Based Image Retrieval) technique can be used. CBIR using only color feature does not result in required output. So in this paper we introduced the concept of hybrid model which deals with color, texture along with shape features which gives an efficient output. A set of images are used to test the accuracy and the precision of each methods. Using Euclidean distance and Manhattan distance, similarity between query image and all the other images in database are calculated. Then the calculated distance values are arranged in ascending order. Based on this required images are retrieved. Experiment results shows that Hybrid model method had high accuracy and precise output compared to Color Histogram. Future work will be made to add one more feature (shape features) in order to get better results.

Relevance Feedback is an important tool for grasping user's need in Interactive Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR). Keeping this in mind, we have build up a framework using Relevance Vector Machine Classifier in interactive framework where user labels images as appropriate and inappropriate. The refinement of the images shown to the user is done using a few rounds of relevance feedback. This appropriate and inappropriate set then provides the training set for the RVM for each of these rounds. The method uses Histogram Intersection kernel with this interactive RVM (IKRVM). It has a retrieval component on top of this which searches for those images for retrieving which falls in the nearest neighbor set of the query image on the basis of histogram intersection based identical ranking (HIIR). The experimental results shows that the proposed framework shows better precision when compared with Active learning based RVMActive implemented with Radial Basis or Polynomial Kernels.
