An image retrieval system is a computer system for browsing, searching and retrieving images from a large database of digital images. A robust natural, geographic and medical image retrieval using a supervised classifier which concentrates on extracted features is proposed. Gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM),Scale invariant feature technique(SIFT) and moment invariant features are implemented to extract the features from natural images and GLCM and Gabor feature extraction is done on medical images. Then these features are passed through SVM classifier. SVM classifies whether the input is Geographic or natural or medical image. Based on the SVM result, the retrieval process is done with Euclidean distance. The performance comparison is done with standard features such as colour and texture.
Keywords-Gabor, GLCM, moment invariant, SIFT, SVM.
I. INTRODUCTION
Content-based image retrieval is a technique, which uses visual contents to search images from large scale image databases according to users' interests and it has been an active and fast advancing research area since the 1990s. A necessity for developing a successful CBIR system is the extraction of discriminant features to describe the images in the database. As such, the development of feature extraction algorithms has dominated the literature in the field, where the ultimate goal is to retrieve visually similar images.
In this paper, retrieval is done for natural and geographic images using SIFT, GLCM and moment invariant techniques .In similar to this, GLCM and Gabor techniques are adopted for medical images. Advantages of using these feature extraction algorithms are better error tolerance with fewer matches, reliability, efficient and best image matching task.

Abstract--- Biometrics covers a variety of technologies in which unique identifiable attributes of people are used for identification and authentication. Palm print recognition system is widespread bio-metric authentication systems. A palm print is the feature pattern on the basis of their edges. Each person has his own palm prints with the permanent uniqueness. The common problem for palm print recognition is finding the minutiae by its local features and edges. Rotation and location invariant of the different palm prints images is also a major problem for recognizing the actual palm print image. There is need to overcome form these difficulties and to work over these areas. The given paper gives the comprehensive review of Palm Print recognition

Visual Discrimination is “using the sense of sight to notice and compare the features of different items to distinguish one item from another” (NCLD Editorial Team, 2014) http://www.ncld.o...
Fisher discriminants group images of the same space and separates images of different classes (Delac, Grgic, 2006). Images are projected from N2 dimensional space to C dimensional space that are projected onto a single line. Depending on the direction of the line, the points can either be mixed together, or separated (Batagelj, 2006).
Images of human anatomy have been around for more than 500 years now. From the sketches created by Leonardo da Vinci, to the modern day Computed Tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan, images have played a great role in medicine. Evolution in medical imaging brought together people from various disciplines such as Biology, Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, a collaboration which has further contributed to healthcare as a whole. Modern day imaging improves medical workflows by facilitating a non-invasive insight into human body, accurate and timely diagnostics, and persistence of an analysis.
Medical tools in the modern day are almost all made with small, programmed computers inside. “Medical imaging is a vast field that deals with the techniques to create images of the human body. Many of the modern methods of scanning and imaging are largely based on computer technology” ("Importance of Computers in Medicine."). We have been able to apply many of the advanced medical imaging techniques, over the years, thanks to developments in computer science. Magnetic quality imaging uses computer software. To obtain high-resolution images, doctors ...

A general statement of the face recognition problem can be formulated as follows: Given still or video images of a scene, identify or verify one or more persons in the scene using a stored database of faces. Due to this definition well-known algorithms such as PCA, ICA, LDA, EBGM, Bayesian Framework, HMM, SVM and Boosting are proposed by Turk et al. [1], Bartlett et al. [2], Zhao et al. [3], Wiskott et al. [4], Moghaddam et al. [5], Nefian et al. [6], Heisele et al. [7], and Lu et al. [8].These algorithms have acceptable success on the test image databases. Nevertheless, utilizing these algorithms in the commercial applications is subject to som...
Image shape matching is prime concern in object recognition and identification methods. An image matching is a means of determining the resemblance of one image with the other image. Images are matched based on their shape and texture and it finds variety of applications ranging from image retrieval, object recognition, remote sensing, image classification, image analysis and so on. In general, image matching techniques are classified into structure- based [1] [2] and feature-based [3][4] methods. Structure-based methods compare the shape/ structure and the size of the images, whereas the feature- based methods examine the image features like color and texture in addition to size and shape. Therefore, the image shape and size are the most
