CONTENT BASED IMAGE RETRIEVAL USING MULTI SVM AND COLOR AND TEXTURE COMBINATION

The dramatic rise in the sizes of images databases has stirred the development of effective and efficient retrieval systems. The development of these systems started with retrieving images using textual connotations but later introduced image retrieval based on content. This came to be known as Content Based Image Retrieval or CBIR. Systems using CBIR retrieve images based on visual features such as texture, color and shape, as opposed to depending on image descriptions or textual indexing. In the proposed work we will use various types of image features like color, texture, shape, energy, amplitude and cluster distance to classify the images according to the query image. We will use multi-SVM technique along with clustering technique to compare the features of the input image with the input dataset of images to extract the similar images as that of the query image
