YACBIR: Yet Another Content Based Image Retrieval System

Abstract

Vision is central in human perception. Images are everywhere. Real life applications produce and use huge amounts of different types images. Retrieving an image having some characteristics in a big database is a crucial task. We need then mechanisms for indexing and retrieving images. CBIR (Content Based Image Retrieval) systems perform these tasks by indexing images using the physical characteristics automatically extracted and searching by an image query. We will present a CBIR system named YACBIR (Yet Another CBIR) that combines several properties (color, texture and points of interest) extracted automatically to index and retrieve images.
