Background: Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is an aspect of computer vision and image processing that finds images that are similar to a given query image in a large scale database using the visual contents of images such as colour, texture, shape, and spatial arrangement of regions of interest (ROIs) rather than manually annotated textual keywords. A CBIR system represents an image as a feature vector and measures the similarity between the image and other images in the database for the purpose of retrieving similar images with minimal human intervention. The CBIR system has been deployed in several fields such as fingerprint identification, biodiversity information systems, digital libraries, Architectural and Engineering design, crime prevention, historical research and medicine. There are several steps involved in the development of CBIR systems. Typical examples of these steps include feature extraction and selection, indexing and similarity measurement. Problem: However, each of these steps has its own method. Nevertheless, there is no universally acceptable method for retrieving similar images in CBIR. Aim: Hence, this study examines the diverse methods used in CBIR systems. This is with the aim of revealing the strengths and weakness of each of these methods. Methodology: Literatures that are related to the subject matter were sought in three scientific electronic databases namely CiteseerX, Science Direct and Google scholar. The Google search engine was used to search for documents and WebPages that are appropriate to the study. Results: The result of the study revealed that three main features are usually extracted during CBIR. These features include colour, shape and text. The study also revealed that diverse methods that can be used for extracting each of the features in CBIR. For instance, colour space, colour histogram, colour moments, geometric moment as well as colour correlogram can be used for extracting colour features. The commonly used methods for texture feature extraction include statistical, model-based, and transform-based methods while the edge method, Fourier transform and Zernike methods can be used for extracting shape features. Contributions: The paper highlights the benefits and challenges of diverse methods used in CBIR. This is with the aim of revealing the methods that are more efficient for CBIR. Conclusion: Each of the CBIR methods has their own advantages and disadvantages. However, there is a need for a further work that will validate the reliability and efficiency of each of the method.

Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is extensively used technique for image retrieval from large image databases. However, users are not satisfied with the conventional image retrieval techniques. In addition, the advent of web development and transmission networks, the number of images available to users continues to increase. Therefore, a permanent and considerable digital image production in many areas takes place. Quick access to the similar images of a given query image from this extensive collection of images pose great challenges and require proficient techniques. From query by image to retrieval of relevant images, CBIR has key phases such as feature extraction, similarity measurement, and retrieval of relevant images. However, extracting the features of the images is one of the important steps. Recently Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) shows good results in the field of computer vision due to the ability of feature extraction from the images. Alex Net is a classical Deep CNN for image feature extraction. We have modified the Alex Net Architecture with a few changes and proposed a novel framework to improve its ability for feature extraction and for similarity measurement. The proposal approach optimizes Alex Net in the aspect of pooling layer. In particular, average pooling is replaced by max-avg pooling and the non-linear activation function Maxout is used after every Convolution layer for better feature extraction. This paper introduces CNN for features extraction from images in CBIR system and also presents Euclidean distance along with the Comprehensive Values for better results. The proposed framework goes beyond image retrieval, including the large-scale database. The performance of the proposed work is evaluated using precision. The proposed work show better results than existing works.

Content based image retrieval (CBIR) models become popular for retrieving images connected to the query image (QI) from massive dataset. Feature extraction process in CBIR plays a vital role as it affects the system’s performance. This paper is focused on the design of deep learning (DL) model for feature extraction based CBIR model. The presented model utilizes a ResNet50 with co-occurrence matrix (RCM) model for CBIR. Here, the ResNet50 model is applied for feature extraction of the QI. Then, the extracted features are placed in the feature repository as a feature vector. The RCM model computes the feature vector for every input image and compares it with the features present in the repository. Then, the images with maximum resemblance will be retrieved from the dataset. In addition, the resemblance between the feature vectors is determined by the use of co-occurrence matrix subtraction process. Besides, structural similarity (SSIM) measure is applied for the validation of the similarity among the images. A comprehensive results analysis takes place by the use of Corel 10K dataset. The experimental outcome indicated the superiority of the RCM model with respect to precision, recall and SSIM.

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 chapter authors introduces content-based image retrieval systems and compares them over a common database. For this, four different content-based local binary descriptors are described with and without Gabor transform in brief. Further Nth derivative descriptor is calculated using (N-1)th derivative, based on rotational and multiscale feature extraction. At last the distance based query image matching is used to find the similarity with database. The performance in terms of average precision, average retrieval rate, different orders of derivatives in the form of average retrieval rate, and length of feature vector v/s performance in terms of time have been calculated. For this work a comparative experiment has been conducted using the Ponce Group images on seven classes (each class have 100 images). In addition, the performance of the all descriptors have been analyzed by combining these with the Gabor transform.

Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is an important and widely used technique for retrieval of different kinds of images from large database. Collection of information in database are available in different formats such as text, image, graph, chart etc. Here, our focus is on information which is available in the form of images. Searching and retrieval of the image from a large amount of database is difficult problem because it uses the image visual information such as shape, text and color for indexing and representation of an image. For efficient CBIR system, there is a need to develop different kinds of retrieval methods using feature extraction, similarity matching etc. Text Based Image Retrieval systems are used in many hospitals, but for large databases these are inefficient. To solve this problem, CBIR systems are proposed to retrieve matching images from database using automated feature extraction method. At present, medical imaging field finds extensive growth in the generation and evaluation of various types of medical images which are high inconsistency, usually fused and the combination of various minor composition structures. For easy retrieval, need to be development of feature extraction and image classification methods. Different methods are used for different kinds of medical images. The Radiology department and Cardiology department are the largest producers of medical images and the patient abnormal images can be stored with the normal images. CBIR uses query image as input and it retrieves the images, which are similar to the query more efficiently and effectively. This paper provides a comprehensive Survey about CBIR system and its one of the major application in medical domain.

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.

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.

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

We present a framework that permits in classifying medical images so as to recognize conceivable diseases that affected. This is done by Image retrieval from the collection of dataset by inputting the query image. Content based Image retrieval (CBIR) is the way toward seeking comparable pictures from a picture database dependent on the visual substance of the given query image. Even though some studies present general method in image extraction, there are no efficient methods in medical image retrieval with accuracy. To overcome and to eliminate these flaws our proposed CBIR method examined with the accurate and efficient way for feature extraction from medical images. The images used are grey scale image. The dataset holds the n number of images related to medical particularly brain tumor images. To retrieve the related images from the dataset and get the corresponding details, image is given as an input i.e., query image. Initially, the query image is analyzed by shape, texture and histogram and the result obtained from this is compared with the similar images in dataset. The similarities between the images are found by implementing the Matching Score algorithm. This algorithm provides accuracy in matching the image that helps greatly at the time of classification. The results of computation is said to be the features for the given image. Also the cost for processing the image is comparatively low. The technique has been examined on standard image dataset and satisfactory results have been achieved

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
