Abstract

This paper gives an overview of various CBIR (Content-Based Image Retrieval) Techniques. CBIR is a system that utilizes different image features, like texture, color, and shape information, to fetch different images from a huge database. CBIR systems are mostly used in the medical field as they collect images from a huge database depending on the similarities. This aids in diagnosing patients. The paper describes CBIR as the first step followed by addressing the characteristics of an image (i.e., image features). Further, the techniques and applications of CBIR are discussed. The recent papers described in literature review are used to enhance the study of CBIR-based applications. This paper is useful for the researchers willing to pursue their research in content-based image retrieval.
