An Introduction of Content Based Image Retrieval Process

Image retrieval plays an important role in many areas like fashion, Engineering, Fashion, Medical, advertisement etc. As the process become increasingly powerful and memories become increasingly cheaper, the deployment of large image database for a variety of applications. It has now become realisable. Content Based image retrieval is method of extracting the similar image or matched image from the image database. It has become popular for getting image from the large image database. By using low level features like colour, texture, shape the retrieval become more efficient. There are many research algorithm developed for CBIR. In this paper we have used two retrieval process query by colour and query by texture. Colour features contain colour histogram in RGB colour space and texture features involve the invariant histogram and mean and standard deviation to retrieve the image. It is observed from the experiment that query by texture is more effective than colour for retrieving images. Precision and Recall provides the performance measurement.
