Visual Feature Based Image Retrieval Using Color and Texture

The purpose of this paper is to describe the research and solution to the problem of designing Visual Feature Based Image Retrieval system. Due to the enormous increase in image database sizes, as well as its vast deployment in various applications, the need for VFBIR development arose. The increased need of visual feature based image retrieval technique can be found in a number of different domains such as Data Mining, Education, Medical Imaging, Crime Prevention, Weather forecasting, Remote Sensing and Management of Earth Resources. The structure of the final software application is illustrated.
