Image Retrieval: Fundamentals and Applications

What Is Image Retrieval

A computer system that is used for browsing, searching, and retrieving images from a vast collection of digital images is called an image retrieval system (sometimes abbreviated as IRMS). In order for image retrieval to be carried out over the annotation words, the majority of the conventional and widespread methods currently in use include the addition of information to the images themselves. This metadata can take the form of captioning, keywords, titles, or descriptions. Annotating images manually is a significant investment of time, effort, and money; as a result, a significant amount of effort and research has been put into developing automatic image annotation methods. In addition, the proliferation of social web apps as well as the semantic web has been a driving force behind the development of a number of picture annotation tools that are web-based.
