Image Mining Issues and Methods Related to Image Retrieval System

Abstract

In this digital era with sufficiently high bandwidth and storage technologies, a huge volume of multimedia database is available over the web. With significantly large and increasing multimedia database often the users have to mine the available data to retrieve the relevant information. ImageRetrieval, which is an important phase in image mining, is one technique which helps the users in retrieving the data from the available database. This paper provides an overview of Image mining, its current research, and provides a brief study of the different phases in image mining and image retrieval. The approach is broad and focuses mainly on providing the different methods used in different phases of mining.
