Target Search Techniques for Content-Based Image Retrieval Systems

Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) has received much research interest since couple of decades. In CBIR systems, searching of a desired image from multimedia database is known as target search process. The techniques which are available today are having slow convergence rate and they also not guarantee to search desired image. To overcome these disadvantages, four new methods are proposed. It is observed that these four methods are able to search the desired image accurately with fast convergence rate. The experimental results show that the iterations required to search the desired image are reduced considerably. Index Terms—Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR), Slow Convergence and Target Search.
