A Study of Color Histogram Based Image Retrieval System: Under The Esteemed Guidance of
ABSTRACT
Currently the most popular search engines for images rely on the comparison of metadata or textual tags associated with the images. This methodology relies on human intervention to provide an interpretation of the image content so as to produce tags associated with the image. Content-based image retrieval systems (CBIR) is very useful and efficient if the images are classified on the score of particular aspects. The aim of this paper to develop such a color histogram based classification approach, which is efficient, quick and enough robust .
Synopsis
In this paper one of the preprocessing algorithms, the image classification is analized. In CBIR image classification has to be computationally fast and efficient. We implemented the algorithm in Java Language.
The study finds the technique to be effective as shown by analysis using the RankPower measurement. The testing also highlights the weaknesses and strengths of the model, concluding that the technique would have to be augmented and modified in order for practical use.
Existing System
Early image retrieval methods locate the desired images by matching keywords that are assigned to each image manually. Disadvantage of Existing system: we cant foresee all the query keywords that will be used in a retrieval process, it is impractical to assign keywords to every image, so the effectiveness of classic image retrieval is very limited.
Proposed System
Methods to compare the similarities (or differences) between images. Techniques to efficiently index and store metadata.

Displays the image in the user interface with related images. Displays the dialog box for selecting image from source which has three text fields for name, source for which there is browse, and description. Text area should display the images and two text fields are for the file name and its format The image should be displayed in user interface and the prompt box is displayed with the message.

conclusion
Since most of the techniques involve the color, shape or texture for the image retrieval. The color based gives similar images for results. For the shape, there may be confusing results because two different types of images may have same shapes. Even for the texture, the resulting images may have the database has a dominant texture. Therefore it can be concluded that this project A Study on Color Histogram based Image Retrieval aims for increased usage such techniques for image retrieval. This has user friendly front end. It is designed and tested efficiently for a created database.
