ABSTRACT
This report presents a brief analysis of the main techniques used for image retrieval, while pointing
out the importance of this emerging technology. Due to the alarming growth of the Internet and
the high volume of data, we emphasize the technique of Texture based image retrieval, CBIR -
Content-Based Image Retrieval. For the case study, we developed one application of this technique
over an image database using the Euclidean Distance metric. Image segmentation is not only hard
and unnecessary for texture-based image retrieval, but can even be harmful. Images of either
individual or multiple textures are best described by distributions of spatial frequency descriptors,
rather than single descriptor vectors over pre-segmented regions. A retrieval method based on the
Earth Movers Distance with an appropriate ground distance is shown to handle both complete and
partial multi-textured queries. As an illustration, different images of the same type of animal are
easily retrieved together. At the same time, animals with subtly different coats, like cheetahs and
leopards, are properly distinguished.
