IMPLEMENTATION OF CONTENT-BASED IMAGE RETRIEVAL USING THE CFSD ALGORITHM

Abstract

Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) is the application of multimedia -processing techniques to the image retrieval problem, that is, the problem of searching for digital images in large databases. There is a growing interest in CBIR because of the limitations inherent in metadata-based systems. The most common method for comparing two images in CBIR is using an image distance measure based on color, texture, shape and others. In this paper, we describe an object-oriented graphical implementation of a system, backed by a My SQL database, that computes distance measures using the CFSD algorithm, based on color similarity
