Content-Based Image Retrieval Technique – An Overview
Abstract
Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) is one of the most interesting research area in the subject of computer science and image processing. Much progress has been made over for the last ten years. In this paper a comprehensive review on the content-based image retrieval and its application in medical image diagnosis have been addressed. The present review includes current trend in this field and certain gap of knowledge for the feature development. Research in the field of image retrieval, is active and fast advancing since 1990. A remarkable progress in theoretical as well as system development has been achieved. However still there are many challenging areas in this discipline. This article gives a complete overview of available literature in the field of content based access to medical image those have been published for the last 10 years. Furthermore it gives what is achieved to date? It also deals with the state of art CBIR application in medical domain.
