Content-based Image Retrieval for Connected Mobile Devices

Mobile device usage is increasing nowadays as the processing power and the memory of mobile devices are increasing along with new emerging network technologies promising a higher service quality, larger and cheaper bandwidth. Recent multimedia mobile devices are equipped with camera and higher storage capabilities; this urges the need of efficient multimedia content management over various networks. In this paper a client-server architecture for contentbased image retrieval framework over connected mobile devices is proposed. The server application performs the query operation and generates hyper text markup language pages. Internet browser is used on the mobile device to view these pages. Experiments show that such a scheme is feasible and provides a generic solution for the content-based image retrieval from connected mobile devices.
