Some of the methods used to gather knowledge are, Image Retrieval, Data Mining, Image Processing and Artificial Intelligence. Image retrieval system is used in a wide range of applications such as geography, medical, architecture, advertising, design, military and albums. Image mining is an extended field of image and data mining that is concerned with the process of knowledge discovery concerning digital …show more content…

The knowledge retrieved can be used by individual or organization for various purposes to make predictions and profitable output. [1]

II. LITERATURE REVIEW

In this section, we discuss recent literature on some key aspects of image mining and image retrieval. Image mining deals with the extraction of image patterns from a large collection of images. Clearly, image mining is different from low-level computer vision and image processing techniques because the focus of image mining is in extraction of patterns from large collection of images, whereas the focus of computer vision and image processing techniques is in understanding and/or extracting specific features from a single image. While there seems to be some overlaps between image mining and content-based retrieval (both are dealing with large collection of images), image mining goes beyond the problem of retrieving relevant images. In image mining, the goal is the discovery of image patterns that are significant in a given collection of images [4].
Image mining is an interdisciplinary endeavour that draws upon expertise in various fields like computer vision, image retrieval, matching and pattern …show more content…

Second method mines a combination of associated alphanumeric data and collection of images. Research in Image mining can be broadly classified in two main directions (1) Domain specific applications (2) General applications. Both are used to extract most relevant image feature and later to generate image patterns. A vast amount of image data is generated in daily life and in various fields like medical, astronomy, sports and all kinds of photographic images. It is still at the experimental stage and growing field of research. Lack of understanding in the research issues of image mining is the obstacle to rapid progress
