Some investigations on feature extraction and image retrieval system for ultra sound kidney image database

Abstract

Recent advancements in digital devices and techniques offer people newlinemore opportunities than ever to create their own digital images The rapid newlineincrease in the amount of image data and the inefficiency of traditional textbased newlineimage retrieval have created great demands for new approaches in newlineimage retrieval Consequently development of efficient search mechanisms newlinehas become inevitable and contentbased image retrieval CBIR has become newlinea very active research area However the retrieval techniques used in CBIR newlinesystems lag behind todays best text search despite the extensive research and newlinemany research issues remain to be solved The purpose of this thesis is to newlineinvestigate the CBIR for medical applications newline
