A Study of Different Methods of Content Based Image Retrieval (Cbir)

Abstract

Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) is widely adopted process for searching and retrieving images from large image databases. Now the day’s volume of production of digital images is increasing day by day, traditional retrieval techniques are not satisfactory and not time efficient. CBIR is a fast retrieval method. Researchers developed so many techniques for CBIR. In this paper, we present a detailed survey of these CBIR techniques with their pros and cons. In addition, we discussed issues regarding image retrieval and evaluation of retrieval performance. Finally, on the basis of present CBIR methods we suggest some future research scope which can help researchers in their work.
