INTRODUCTION
Interest in the potential of digital images has increased largely over the last few years. Many opportunities are exploited by professional users offered by the ability to access and manipulate remotely-stored images in all possible new and exciting ways. Therefore, discovering the process of locating the desired image in a large and varied collection can be a source of considerable frustration. An image retrieval system is a very efficient system which allows us to browse, search and retrieve the images. There is a gap between the semantic understandings of users to query image databases and low-level descriptions of image content in the content-based image retrieval. Therefore, there is a strong demand for developing an efficient technique from this huge amount of digital information for image retrieval. If the user wants to search for many roses images then he can submit an existing rose picture as a query so the system will extract image features for this query. Further, it will compare these features with that of other images in a database. Relevant results will be displayed to the user.
2. CONTENT BASED IMAGE RETRIEVAL
Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is the process of retrieving the required query image based on the contents of the image from a huge number of databases. In early days, the manual entering of the keyword approach was more difficult due to large image collections. Content Based Image Retrieval was introduced in order to overcome these difficulties. Content-based image retrieval is the application of computer vision to the image retrieval problem. In this approach, images would be indexed using their own visual contents instead of being manually annotated by textual keywords. Color, texture and shape were the visual contents of images. This approach is known to be a general framework for image retrieval .There is three fundamental bases for Content Based Image Retrieval which is visual feature extraction, retrieval system design and multidimensional indexing. Some of the major areas in which CBIR is applicable they are Art collections, Medical diagnosis, Crime prevention, Military, Architectural design and Geographical information and Remote sensing systems [3]. The wide application of CBIR has lead to increase its efficiency. The areas where the CBIR technique finds its prime importance are Biomedicine, Military, Education, Web image classification and searching. Some of the examples for the current CBIR are Viper which is Visual Information Processing for Enhanced Retrieval, QBIC which is Query by Image Content and Visual seek which is a web tool for searching images and videos. The main purpose of CBIR is, it mainly decreases the heavy workload and overcomes the problem of heavy subjectivity.

3.1 Color Feature
Color feature is most common feature of image. The color images are having the standard Color is RGB color. Color histograms are commonly use content based image retrieval. Feature means characteristics of object. Feature extraction is refers that dimensionality reduction of that object. It plays an important role in image processing. Features are classified into three types in image processing, that is low, middle and high. Low level features are color, texture and middle level feature is shape and high level feature is semantic gap between objects.
3.2 Classification Methods
Image classification is a method to label an image with appropriate identifiers. These identifiers are determined by the area of interest, to see whether it is general classification for a specific domain or arbitrary pictures. Consider, for example medical x-ray images or geographical images of terrain and many more are in existence. There are two main methods to classify an image; they are [8] supervised and unsupervised image classification. Supervised classification uses training sets of images to create descriptors for each class. Supervised image classification is a subset of supervised learning. Models of two types can be generated by supervised learning. Mostly, supervised learning generates a global model that input objects to desired outputs. In some of the cases, the map is implemented as a set of local models. [5] The other method of classification is unsupervised image classification. Unsupervised image classification does not depend on a training set, as they use clustering techniques which measure the distance between images and group the images with common image features together [6] Class-identifiers are then used to label these groups. There have been many ways to classify the image; one of the more frequently used ones is a study where the researchers use image features such as [9] edge direction histograms, color histograms, edge direction coherence vector and Bayesian statistical methods in order to classify indoor from outdoor, and cities from landscapes. Another very popular method is the use of SVM (Support Vector Machines) SVMs delivers state-of-the-art performance in real-world applications such as to categorize the text, hand-written character recognition; image classification etc.SVM is now established as one of the standard tools for machine learning and data mining.
3.3 Color Feature Extraction Methods
The Basic technique which is used is based on the technique of color histogram. Color Histogram of each image is calculated and then stored in the database which represents the proportion of pixel of each color within the image. Then matching algorithm will extract those images from the databases whose color histogram matches with the required one. There are various types of histograms such as normal, weighted, dominant, and fuzzy as well as there are various color spaces: HSV, grayscale, HSL, Lab, and HMMD.
Texture Feature Extraction Methods
Texture measures look for visual patterns in images and how they are spatially defined. Textures are represented by pixels which are then placed into a number of sets, depending on how many textures are detected in the image. The identification of specific textures in an image is achieved primarily by modeling texture as a two-dimensional gray-level variation. The relative brightness of pairs of pixels is computed such that degree of contrast, regularity in it, coarseness and particular directionality may be estimated. Due to this purpose, the problem is in identifying patterns of co-pixel variation and associating them with particular classes of textures such as silky, or rough. An approach towards the texture analysis is usually divided into statistical, structural, transformed and model based. Textural features can also be used to estimate orientation and depth of object surface. In the low level feature, texture co-occurrence matrix is used for retrieval of the images.
3.5 Shape Feature Extraction Methods
The shape is an important visual feature and it is one of the basic features used to describe image content. Searching for an image using shape features is in much attention. Good retrieval accuracy requires a shape descriptor be able to effectively find perceptually similar shapes from a database. Perceptually similar shapes usually mean rotated, translated, scaled shapes and a finely transformed shape. The descriptor should also be able to find noise affected shapes, variously distorted shapes and defective. Using nonlinear combinations of the lower order moments, a set of moment invariants which have the desirable properties of not to be variant under translation, scaling and rotation.
4. PROPOSED WORK
In after existing work using methods and techniques delay the image retrieval time. In using SVM classification and similarity metrics method use to output results automatically calculate precision and recall retrieval time. In using confusion matrix, different class images will be calculated accuracy rate.
4.1 Support Vector Machine (SVM)
Support Vector Machines (SVMs) are supervised learning methods used for image classification. It views the given image database as two sets of vectors in an ‘ n ’ dimensional space and constructs a separating hyper plane that maximizes the margin between the images relevant to the query and the images not relevant to the query. There are many pattern matching and machine learning tools and techniques for clustering and classification of linearly separable and non-separable data. Support vector machine (SVM) is a relatively new classifier and it is based on strong foundations of the broad area of statistical learning theory. It is being used in many application areas such as character recognition, image classification, bioinformatics, face detection, financial time series prediction etc. SVM offers many advantages over other classification methods such as neural networks. Support vector machines have many advantages in comparison with other classifiers:
• They are computationally very efficient as compared to other classifiers, especially neural networks
• They are very robust against noisy data.
• The curse of dimensionality and over fitting problems does not occur during classification. Fundamentally, SVM is a binary classifier, but can be extended for multi-class problems as well. The task of binary classification can be represented as having, (xi, yi) pairs of data where xi Э xp, a p dimensional input space and yi Э [−1, 1] for both the output classes. SVM finds the linear classification function g(x) = w. x + b, which corresponds to a separating Hyperplane w. x + b = 0, where w and b are slope and intersection. SVM usually incorporates kernel functions for mapping of non-linearly separable input space to a higher dimension linearly separable space. Many kernel functions exist such as Radial Basis Functions (RBF), Gaussian, linear, sigmoid
