Thread: Content Based Image Retrieval

How to perform image search on the basis of their contents ??

Any idea ???

I think you need to be a bit more specific

Chris

In more detail if I have an image and there is a river in that image then if I search for river then this images must be in the output......

Well would the filenames state that its an image of a river, ie would the file name contain the wort river if it has a river and mauntain if its a mauntain? Or are you looking to do some image proccessing. Which if you are, then its a lot of work, but you might want to look into fuzzy logic

Chris

Yeah exactly.....
It is possible but I am not getting exact concept in Java if some one knows then please help me..

Yes exactly as in, filenames? or do you need to do image processing?

I need to do image processing....

Well this is not a small project, i mean are you working with photographic images? I'm guessing so. Are they all similar? or do they vary alot?

This is deffinitaley not a small task, especially if you want to search for other things too.

It is not trivial to try and do what you wish. As a proof of principle, think of all the great minds at google that as far as I know have yet to solve this problem, and if they have it most likely requires something extremely complex (image searches are based upon keyword content surrounding the image as well as google's image labeler, not a computer algorithm - again, as far as I know)
