Rapid and explosive growth of digital libraries due to the invention of Web cameras, digital cameras, and mobile phones equipped with such devices is making the database management by human annotation an extremely tedious and clumsy task. Image indexing and retrieval is very important research topic that has gained more attention in the current scenario. So in the present situation content based image retrieval is becoming necessary for exact and fast image retrieval. Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is one of the image retrieval techniques which use visual features of an image such as color, shape, and texture features etc. In this paper presents techniques for extracting low level features, various distance measures for measuring the similarity of image and performance measures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
