Enhanced Content based Image Retrieval Using Multiple Feature Fusion Algorithms

R. Priya, Dr. Vasantha Kalyani David

Abstract


Recently the usage of multimedia contents like images and videos has increased. This usage has created the problem of locating from a very large database. This paper presents Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) system that uses multiple feature fusion to retrieve images. The features like color, shape and texture are used. The color histogram is used to extract color feature and active contour model is used for shape extraction. K-means and SOM algorithms are used for clustering and dimensional reduction. The experimental results show that the proposed CBIR system is better in terms of precision, recall and speed of image retrieval.

Keywords


Content Based Image Retrieval, color histogram, contour model, K-means, Self Organizing Map.
