CBIR-Using-MATLAB

ABOUT:

This is a image search engine which uses hsv/rgb features of images and euclidean distance method to search for similar images in a given folder using query image.

'cmp_rgb.m' uses rgb(Red-blue-Green) features of a image.

'cmp_hsv.m' uses hsv(Hue-Saturation-value) features of a image.

REQUIREMENTS:

1.MATLAB.

2.SAMPLE IMAGES - A set of images from which you want to find similar images(I have provided a 'Sample_images' folder along with code so that you can use them to test the code if needed).

3.Query Image - Image whose similar images you want to find from a given folder(You can use one from sample images itself).

WORKING OF CODE:

1.First of all it reads all the images with specific extention(e.g.-jpg/jpeg etc) from the given folder e.g. in our code image format '.jpg' and folder location 'C:\Users\NIKHIL YADAV\Desktop\CBIR\Sample_images'.

2.After that it will read and store them in an array.

3.Now they will be split into rgb/hsv channels and later conversion of images into vector will take place.

4.Finally similarity between query image and test images will be done using EUCLIDEAN DISTANCE METHOD.

5.Output will be displayed by suitable comparision values in if statement.
