CONTENT BASED IMAGE RETRIEVAL (CBIR) SYSTEM

Advancement in hardware and telecommunication technology has boosted up creation and distribution of digital visual content. However this rapid growth of visual content creations has not been matched by the simultaneous emergence of technologies to support efficient image analysis and retrieval. Although there are attempt to solve this problem by using meta-data text annotation but this approach are not practical when it come to the large number of data collection. This system used 7 different feature vectors that are focusing on 3 main low level feature groups (color, shape and texture). This system will use the image that the user feed and search the similar images in the database that had similar feature by considering the threshold value. One of the most important aspects in CBIR is to determine the correct threshold value. Setting the correct threshold value is important in CBIR because setting it too low will result in less image being retrieve that might exclude relevant data. Setting to high threshold value might result in irrelevant data to be retrieved and increase the search time for image retrieval. Result show that this project able to increase the image accuracy to average 70% by combining 7 different feature vector at correct threshold value. ii

Content- Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) System

As a partial fulfillment of the Final Year Project, this project explores of Content- Based Image Retrieval (CBIR), also known as Query by Image Content (QBIC) and Content- Based Visual Information Retrieval (QBVIR). It is a computer vision application which image retrieval is relies on actual contents ofthe image. "Contenf' ofthe image can be color, shape, texture or any other information that can be derived from the image itself CBIR is a technology that invented to improve the most traditional method used in image retrieval, which is text annotation. Text annotation also known as image tagging is a method to retrive images from the database that based on descriptions, captions or key- words of the image. This project paper also focuses on research and development activity that will be carried out

Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) by Statistical Methods

        نظام استرجاع الصور هو نظام كمبيوتر لتصفح الصور والبحث فيها واستعادتها من قاعده بيانات ضخمه من الصور المتقدمه. الهدف من أساليب استرجاع الصور المستندة إلى المحتوى (CBIR) هو أساسًا استخراج عدد محدد من الصور المتشابهة في المحتوى المرئي والدلالي ، من قاعدة بيانات كبيرة (للصور) إلى صورة الاستعلام المزعومة. كان الباحثون يطورون آلية جديدة لاسترجاع الأنظمة التي تعتمد بشكل أساسي على إجراءين. يعتمد الإجراء الأول على استخراج الميزة الإحصائية لكل من الصورة الأصلية والتقليدية باستخدام المدرج الإحصائي والخصائص الإحصائية (متوسط ,انحراف معياري). يعتمد الإجراء الثاني على قياس الاستقلال بين أكثر من صوره، (معامل الارتباط ، اختبار T ، مستوى الأهمية ، العثور على القرار) ، ومن خلال الاختبارات التجريبية وجد ان الطريقة المقترحة لتقنية الاسترجاع (T- اختبار) هو افضل من نظام استرجاع الكلاسيكية.            An image retrieval system is a computer system for browsing, looking and recovering pictures from a huge database of advanced pictures. The objective of Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) methods is essentially to extract, from large (image) databases, a specified number of images similar in visual and semantic content to a so-called query image. The researchers were developing a new mechanism to retrieval systems which is mainly based on two procedures. The first procedure relies on extract the statistical feature of both original, traditional image by using the histogram and statistical characteristics (mean, standard deviation). The second procedure relies on the T- test to measure the independence between more than images, (coefficient of correlate, T- test, Level of significance, find the decision), and, through experimental test, it was found that this proposed method of retrieval technique is powerful than the classical retrieval System

Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) in Big Histological Image Databases

Background: Automatic analysis of Histopathological Images (HIs) demands image processing and Computational Intelligence (CI) techniques. Both Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) and Content-Based Image-Retrieval (CBIR) systems assist diagnosis, disease discovery, and biological decision-making. Classical tests comprise screening examinations and biopsy. Histopathology slides offer more ample diagnosis data. However, manual examination of microscopic images is labor-intensive and time-consuming and may depend on a subjective assessment by the pathologist, which can be a challenge. Methods: This work discusses a CBIR framework to extract and handle histological data, histological metadata, integrated patient records, specimen metadata, attributes, and similar stored files. This work presents a scalable image-retrieval framework for intelligent HI analysis with real-time retrieval. The potential applications of this framework include image-guided diagnosis, decision support, healthcare education, and efficient biological data management. Results: The considerable amount of biological-related data prompted the development and deployment of large-scale databases and data-driven techniques to bridge the semantic gap between images and diagnostic information. The new cloud computing technologies and the concept of cyber-physical systems have improved the CBIR architectures considerably. The proposed scalable architecture relies on CI and validates performance on several HIs acquired from microscopic tissues. Extensive assessments show improvements in terms of disease classification and retrieval tests. Conclusion: This research effort significant contributions are twofold. 1) Defining a  comprehensive and large-scale CBIR framework to analyze HIs with high-dimensional features and CI methods successfully. 2) high-performance updating and optimization strategies improve the querying while better handling new training samples than traditional methods
