This document describes a proposed method for improving content-based face image retrieval. The method uses two orthogonal techniques: attribute-enhanced sparse coding and attribute-embedded inverted indexing. Attribute-enhanced sparse coding exploits global features to construct semantic codewords offline. Attribute-embedded inverted indexing considers local query image features in a binary signature to efficiently retrieve images. By combining these techniques, the method reduces errors and achieves better face image extraction from databases compared to existing content-based retrieval systems. It works by extracting features from the query image, matching them to database images, and returning ranked results.
Due to recent development in technology, there is an increase in the usage of digital cameras, smartphones, and Internet. The shared and stored multimedia data are growing, and to search or to retrieve a relevant image from an archive is a challenging research problem. The fundamental need of any image retrieval model is to search and arrange the images that are in a visual semantic re- lationship with the query given by the user Content Based Image Retrieval Project.

Global Descriptor Attributes Based Content Based Image Retrieval of Query ImagesIJERA Editor
The need for efficient content-based image retrieval system has increased hugely. Efficient and effective retrieval techniques of images are desired because of the explosive growth of digital images. Content based image retrieval (CBIR) is a promising approach because of its automatic indexing retrieval based on their semantic features and visual appearance. In this proposed system we investigate method for describing the contents of images which characterizes images by global descriptor attributes, where global features are extracted to make system more efficient by using color features which are color expectancy, color variance, skewness and texture feature correlation.

The explosive increase and ubiquitous accessibility of visual data on the Web have led to the prosperity of research activity in image search or retrieval. With the ignorance of visual content as a ranking clue, methods with text search techniques for visual retrieval may suffer inconsistency between the text words and visual content. Content based image retrieval CBIR , which makes use of the representation of visual content to identify relevant images, has attracted sustained attention in recent two decades. Such a problem is challenging due to the intention gap and the semantic gap problems. Numerous techniques have been developed for content based image retrieval in the last decade.

Content-based Image Retrieval System for an Image Gallery Search Application IJECEIAES
Content-based image retrieval is a process framework that applies computer vision techniques for searching and managing large image collections more efficiently. With the growth of large digital image collections triggered by rapid advances in electronic storage capacity and computing power, there is a growing need for devices and computer systems to support efficient browsing, searching, and retrieval for image collections. Hence, the aim of this project is to develop a content-based image retrieval system that can be implemented in an image gallery desktop application to allow efficient browsing through three different search modes: retrieval by image query, retrieval by facial recognition, and retrieval by text or tags. In this project, the MPEG-7-like Powered Localized Color and Edge Directivity Descriptor is used to extract the feature vectors of the image database and the facial recognition system is built around the Eigenfaces concept. A graphical user interface with the basic functionality of an image gallery application is also developed to implement the three search modes. Results show that the application is able to retrieve and display images in a collection as thumbnail previews with high retrieval accuracy and medium relevance and the computational requirements for subsequent searches were significantly reduced through the incorporation of text-based image retrieval as one of the search modes. All in all, this study introduces a simple and convenient way of offline image searches on desktop computers and provides a stepping stone to future content-based image retrieval systems built for similar purposes.
A Survey On: Content Based Image Retrieval Systems Using Clustering Technique...IJMIT JOURNAL
Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) is a new but widely adopted method for finding images from vast and unannotated image databases. As the network and development of multimedia technologies are becoming more popular, users are not satisfied with the traditional information retrieval techniques. So now a days the content based image retrieval (CBIR) are becoming a source of exact and fast retrieval. In recent years, a variety of techniques have been developed to improve the performance of CBIR. Data clustering is an unsupervised method for extraction hidden pattern from huge data sets. With large data sets, there is possibility of high dimensionality. Having both accuracy and efficiency for high dimensional data sets with enormous number of samples is a challenging arena. In this paper the clustering techniques are discussed and analyzed. Also, we propose a method HDK that uses more than one clustering technique to improve the performance of CBIR. This method makes use of hierarchical and divide and conquer K Means clustering technique with equivalency and compatible relation concepts to improve the performance of the K-Means for using in high dimensional datasets. It also introduced the feature like color, texture and shape for accurate and effective retrieval system.
Low level features for image retrieval basedcaijjournal
In this paper, we present a novel approach for image retrieval based on extraction of low level features
using techniques such as Directional Binary Code (DBC), Haar Wavelet transform and Histogram of
Oriented Gradients (HOG). The DBC texture descriptor captures the spatial relationship between any pair
of neighbourhood pixels in a local region along a given direction, while Local Binary Patterns (LBP)
descriptor considers the relationship between a given pixel and its surrounding neighbours. Therefore,
DBC captures more spatial information than LBP and its variants, also it can extract more edge
information than LBP. Hence, we employ DBC technique in order to extract grey level texture features
(texture map) from each RGB channels individually and computed texture maps are further combined
which represents colour texture features (colour texture map) of an image. Then, we decomposed the
extracted colour texture map and original image using Haar wavelet transform. Finally, we encode the
shape and local features of wavelet transformed images using Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) for
content based image retrieval. The performance of proposed method is compared with existing methods on
two databases such as Wang’s corel image and Caltech 256. The evaluation results show that our
approach outperforms the existing methods for image retrieval.
A Survey on Content Based Image Retrieval SystemYogeshIJTSRD
The increasing increase of picture databases in practically every industry, including medical science, multimedia, geographic information systems, photography, journalism, and so on, necessitates the development of an effective and efficient approach for image processing. The approach of content based image retrieval is used to recover images based on their content, such as texture, colour, shape, and spatial layout. However, because to the semantic mismatch between the users high level notions and the images low level properties, retrieving the image is extremely challenging. Many concepts were presented in effort to close this gap. Furthermore, images can be stored and extracted depending on a variety of properties, one of which being texture. Content based Image Retrieval has become a popular study area as a result of the growth of video and image data in digital form. Digital data, such as criminal photographs, fingerprints, and scene photographs, has been widely used in forensic sciences. As a result, arranging such enormous amounts of visual data, such as how to quickly find an interesting image, becomes a major difficulty. There is a pressing need to develop an effective method for locating photographs. An image must be represented with particular features in order to be found. Three significant visual qualities of an image are colour, texture, and shape. The search for images utilising colour, texture, and shape attributes has gotten a lot of press.

Faro Visual Attention For Implicit Relevance Feedback In A Content Based Imag...Kalle
In this paper we propose an implicit relevance feedback method with the aim to improve the performance of known Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) systems by re-ranking the retrieved images according to users’ eye gaze data. This represents a new mechanism for implicit relevance feedback, in fact usually the sources taken into account for image retrieval are based on the natural behavior of the user in his/her environment estimated by analyzing mouse and keyboard interactions. In detail, after the retrieval of the images by querying CBIRs with a keyword, our system computes the most salient regions (where users look with a greater interest) of the retrieved images by gathering data from an unobtrusive eye tracker, such as Tobii T60. According to the features, in terms of color, texture, of these relevant regions our system is able to re-rank the images, initially, retrieved by the CBIR. Performance evaluation, carried out on a set of 30 users by using Google Images and “pyramid” like keyword, shows that about the 87% of the users is more satisfied of the output images when the re-raking is applied.

Survey on Multiple Query Content Based Image Retrieval SystemsCSCJournals
This paper reviews multiple query approaches for Content-Based Image Retrieval systems (MQIR). These are recently proposed Content-Based Image Retrieval systems that enhance the retrieval performance by conveying a richer understanding of the user high-level interest to the retrieval system. In fact, by allowing the user to express his interest using a set of query images, MQIR bridge the semantic gap with the low-level image features. Nevertheless, the main challenge of MQRI systems is how to compute the distances between the set of query images and each image in the database in a way that enhances the retrieval results and reflects the high-level semantic the user is interested in. For this matter, several approaches have been reported in the literature. In this paper, we investigate existing multiple query retrieval systems. We describe each approach, detail the way it computes the distances between the set of query images and each image in the database, and analyze its advantages and disadvantages in reflecting the high-level semantics meant by the user.
Multivariate feature descriptor based cbir model to query large image databasesIJARIIT
The content based image retrieval (CBIR) applications have grown their popularity in the past decade with the
exponential growth in the image data volumes. The social networks have aggravated the size of image data on the internet. Social
network enables everyone to upload the images of one’s choice, which becomes the reason behind aggregation of millions of
images on the cyber space. It’s not possible to query these large image databases with the ordinary methods. Hence there was a
strong requirement of a smart and intelligent method to discover the similar images, which has been accomplished by using the
machine learning methods. In this paper, the multivariate feature descriptor method has been presented to extract the required
and relevant information from the large image databases. The proposed multivariate method involves the image color and texture
for the purpose of image matching to the query image (also known as a reference image). The most matching entities are returned
as the final results by the image extraction method. There are four methods, which involves three singular feature and one
multivariate feature based models, have been implemented. The multivariate model has been found much stable and returned
the maximum accuracy under this model.
Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) aims at retrieving the images from the database based on the user query which is visual form rather than the traditional text form. The applications of CBIR extend from surveillance to remote sensing, medical imaging to weather forecasting, and security systems to historical research and so on. Though extensive research is made on content based image retrieval in the spatial domain, we have most images in the internet which is JPEG compressed which pushes the need for image retrieval in the compressed domain itself rather than decoding it to raw format before comparison and retrieval. This research addresses the need to retrieve the images from the database based on the features extracted from the compressed domain along with the application of genetic algorithm in improving the retrieval results. The research focuses on various features and their levels of impact on improving the precision and recall parameters of the CBIR system. Our experimentation results also indicate that the CBIR features in compressed domain along with the genetic algorithm usage improves the results considerably when compared with the literature techniques.

APPLICATIONS OF SPATIAL FEATURES IN CBIR : A SURVEYcscpconf
With advances in the computer technology and the World Wide Web there has been an explosion in the amount and complexity of multimedia data that are generated, stored,transmitted, analyzed, and accessed. In order to extract useful information from this hugeamount of data, many content based image retrieval (CBIR) systems have been developed in the
last decade. A typical CBIR system captures image features that represent image properties such as color, texture, or shape of objects in the query image and try to retrieve images from the
database with similar features. Retrieval efficiency and accuracy are the important issues in designing Content Based Image Retrieval System. The Shape and Spatial features are quiet easy and simple to derive and effective. Researchers are moving towards finding spatial features and the scope of implementing these features in to the image retrieval framework for reducing the semantic gap. This Survey paper focuses on the detailed review of different methods and their
evaluation techniques used in the recent works based on spatial features in CBIR systems. Finally, several recommendations for future research directions have been suggested based on
the recent technologies.
A Comparative Study of Content Based Image Retrieval Trends and ApproachesCSCJournals
Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) is an important step in addressing image storage and management problems. Latest image technology improvements along with the Internet growth have led to a huge amount of digital multimedia during the recent decades. Various methods, algorithms and systems have been proposed to solve these problems. Such studies revealed the indexing and retrieval concepts, which have further evolved to Content-Based Image Retrieval. CBIR systems often analyze image content via the so-called low-level features for indexing and retrieval, such as color, texture and shape. In order to achieve significantly higher semantic performance, recent systems seek to combine low-level with high-level features that contain perceptual information for human. Purpose of this review is to identify the set of methods that have been used for CBR and also to discuss some of the key contributions in the current decade related to image retrieval and main challenges involved in the adaptation of existing image retrieval techniques to build useful systems that can handle real-world data. By making use of various CBIR approaches accurate, repeatable, quantitative data must be efficiently extracted in order to improve the retrieval accuracy of content-based image retrieval systems. In this paper, various approaches of CBIR and available algorithms are reviewed. Comparative results of various techniques are presented and their advantages, disadvantages and limitations are discussed.
A novel Image Retrieval System using an effective region based shape represen...CSCJournals
With recent improvements in methods for the acquisition and rendering of shapes, the need for retrieval of shapes from large repositories of shapes has gained prominence. A variety of methods have been proposed that enable the efficient querying of shape repositories for a desired shape or image. Many of these methods use a sample shape as a query and attempt to retrieve shapes from the database that have a similar shape. This paper introduces a novel and efficient shape matching approach for the automatic identification of real world objects. The identification process is applied on isolated objects and requires the segmentation of the image into separate objects, followed by the extraction of representative shape signatures and the similarity estimation of pairs of objects considering the information extracted from the segmentation process and shape signature. We compute a 1D shape signature function from a region shape and use it for region shape representation and retrieval through similarity estimation. The proposed region shape feature is much more efficient to compute than other region shape techniques invariant to image transformation.

techniques are used to train the classification models. Facial images with labels are used in the training process.
Noisy and incomplete labels are referred as weak labels. Search-based face annotation (SBFA) is assigned by
mining weakly labeled facial images available on the World Wide Web (WWW). Unsupervised label refinement
(ULR) approach is used for refining the labels of web facial images with machine learning techniques. ULR
scheme is used to enhance the label quality using graph-based and low-rank learning approach. The training phase
is designed with facial image collection, facial feature extraction, feature indexing and label refinement learning
steps. Similar face retrieval and voting based face annotation tasks are carried out under the testing phase.
Clustering-Based Approximation (CBA) algorithm is applied to improve the scalability. Bisecting K-means
clustering based algorithm (BCBA) and divisive clustering based algorithm (DCBA) are used to group up the
facial images. Multi step Gradient Algorithm is used for label refinement process. The web face annotation scheme
is enhanced to improve the label quality with low refinement overhead. Noise reduction is method is integrated
with the label refinement process. Duplicate name removal process is integrated with the system. The indexing
scheme is enhanced with weight values for the labels. Social contextual information is used to manage the query
facial image relevancy issues.

The complexity of landscape pattern mining is well stated due to its non-linear spatial image formation and
inhomogeneity of the satellite images. Land Ex tool of the literature work needs several seconds to answer input
image pattern query. The time duration of content based image retrieval depends on input query complexity. This
paper focuses on designing and implementing a training dataset to train NML (Neural network based Machine
Learning) algorithm to reduce the search time to improve the result accuracy. The performance evolution of

A deep locality-sensitive hashing approach for achieving optimal image retri...IJECEIAES
Efficient methods that enable high and rapid image retrieval are continuously needed, especially with the large mass of images that are generated from different sectors and domains like business, communication media, and entertainment. Recently, deep neural networks are extensively proved higher-performing models compared to other traditional models. Besides, combining hashing methods with a deep learning architecture improves the image retrieval time and accuracy. In this paper, we propose a novel image retrieval method that employs locality-sensitive hashing with convolutional neural networks (CNN) to extract different types of features from different model layers. The aim of this hybrid framework is focusing on both the high-level information that provides semantic content and the low-level information that provides visual content of the images. Hash tables are constructed from the extracted features and trained to achieve fast image retrieval. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed framework, a variety of experiments and computational performance analysis are carried out on the CIFRA-10 and NUS-WIDE datasets. The experimental results show that the proposed method surpasses most existing hash-based image retrieval methods.
An Enhance Image Retrieval of User Interest Using Query Specific Approach and...IJSRD
In recent years, image retrieval process has increased artistically. An image retrieval system is a process for searching and retrieving images from large amount of the image dataset. Color, texture and edge have been the primitive low level image descriptors in content based image retrieval systems. In this paper we discover a system which splits the search process into two stages. In the query specify approach the feature descriptors of a query image we re-extracted and then used to check the similarity between the query image and those images which is in database. In the evolution stage, the most relevant images where retrieved by using the Interactive genetic algorithm. IGA help the users to retrieve the images that are most relevant to the users’ need and SVM will rank the image as their title and as par time of search. So that user can get search image as par their requirements.
Content-based image retrieval based on corel dataset using deep learningIAESIJAI
A popular technique for retrieving images from huge and unlabeled image databases are content-based-image-retrieval (CBIR). However, the traditional information retrieval techniques do not satisfy users in terms of time consumption and accuracy. Additionally, the number of images accessible to users are growing due to web development and transmission networks. As the result, huge digital image creation occurs in many places. Therefore, quick access to these huge image databases and retrieving images like a query image from these huge image collections provides significant challenges and the need for an effective technique. Feature extraction and similarity measurement are important for the performance of a CBIR technique. This work proposes a simple but efficient deep-learning framework based on convolutional-neural networks (CNN) for the feature extraction phase in CBIR. The proposed CNN aims to reduce the semantic gap between low-level and high-level features. The similarity measurements are used to compute the distance between the query and database image features. When retrieving the first 10 pictures, an experiment on the Corel-1K dataset showed that the average precision was 0.88 with Euclidean distance, which was a big step up from the state-of-the-art approaches.
Design and Development of an Algorithm for Image Clustering In Textile Image ...IJCSEA Journal
All textile industries aim to produce competitive materials and the competition enhancement depends mainly on designs and quality of the dresses produced by each industry. Every day, a vast amount of textile images are being generated such as images of shirts, jeans, t-shirts and sarees. A principal driver of innovation is World Wide Web, unleashing publication at the scale of tens and millions of content creators. Images play an important role as a picture is worth thousand words in the field of textile design and marketing. A retrieving of images needs special concepts such as image annotation, context, and image content and image values. This research work aimed at studying the image mining process in detail and analyzes the methods for retrieval. The textile images analyze various methods for clustering the images and developing an algorithm for the same. The retrieval method considered is based on relevance feedback, scalable method, edge histogram and color layout. The image clustering algorithm is designed based on color descriptors and k-means clustering algorithm. A software prototype to prove the proposed algorithm has been developed using net beans integrated development environment and found successful.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

involves matching a query image with the images stored in a database. Firstly it involves the
extracting of feature vector to represent the unique characteristics of each image but not
efficiently .While the mannual image annotation is time-consuming, laborious and expensive.
There have been several systems and techniques developed such as the IBM’s query by image
content (QBIC) system [1], Virage’s VIR engine [2], Visual Seek [3], and Photo Book [4]. A
significant problem in CBIR is the gap between semantic concepts and low-level image
features. The subjectivity of human perception of visual content plays an important role in the
CBIR systems. Often, the retrieval results are not very satisfactory especially when the level of
satisfaction is closely related to user subjectivity. For example, given a query image with a tiger
lying on the grass, one user may want to retrieve those images with the tiger objects in them,
while another user may find the green grass background more interesting. Since textual
annotations are not available for most images, searching for particular pictures becomes an
inherently difficult task. Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) does not rely on textual
attributes but allows search based on features that are directly extracted from the images [5].
This however is, not surprisingly, rather challenging and often relies on the notion of visual
similarity between images or image regions. While humans are capable of effortlessly matching
similar images or objects, machine vision research still has a long way to go before it will reach
a similar performance for computers. Currently, many retrieval approaches are based on
low-level features such as color, texture, and shape features, leaving a ‘semantic gap’ to the
high-level understanding of users [5]. Several approaches for bridging this gap have been
introduced, such as relevance feedback [6] or automatic image annotation [7], but much work
still remains to be done for CBIR to become truly useful. To address this problem the proposed
method mainly aims to utilize the face features that contain semantic cues of the face photos to
improve content-based face retrieval by constructing semantic codeword’s for efficient
large-scale face retrieval. The two orthogonal methods named attribute-enhanced sparse coding
and attribute embedded inverted indexing are used to improve the face retrieval in the offline
stage. This investigates the effectiveness of different attributes and vital factors essential for
face retrieval. The commonly used face features include color, shape, and Texture. Queries are
issued through query by image example (QBE), which can either be provided or constructed by
the users, or randomly selected from the image database. A new perspective on content-based
image retrieval is provided by extraction of face features and comparing it with the images
present in the database. By combining low- level features with high-level human features, it
enables to find better feature representations and achieve better retrieval results .The two
orthogonal methods named ie Attribute-enhanced sparse coding exploits the global structure of
feature space and uses several important extracted features combined with low-level features to
construct semantic codeword in the offline stage. On the other hand, attribute-embedded
inverted indexing locally considers extracted features of the designated query image in a binary
signature and provides efficient retrieval of images. By incorporating these two methods, the
large-scale content-based face image retrieval system can be built by taking advantages of both
low-level features and high-level semantics.
The rest of the paper is organized as follows. Section II discusses related work. Section
III introduces the proposed methods including system overview, content-based image search,
Attribute based search and Face Image Retrieval.Section IV describes the performance
discussion, and Section V concludes this paper.

II. RELATED WORK
This work is closely related to several different research topics, including content-based
image retrieval (CBIR), scalable face image retrieval and content-based face image retrieval. A
Dynamic User Concept Pattern Learning Framework for CBIR [8] provides two learning
techniques. First, user relevance feedback is supported during the retrieval process, which
means that users interact with the system by choosing the positive and negative examples from
the retrieved images based on their own concepts. Then, the user’s feedback is fed into the
retrieval system and triggers the modification of the query criteria, which best matches the
user’s concepts .Second, multiple instances learning (MIL) and neural network techniques are
integrated into the query-refining process. The content-based retrieval [9] focuses on the issues
of colour (or more precise colour variance), image compression, and image database browsing.
While colour features are the most widely used image descriptors for CBIR, colour is not
necessarily a stable cue as it also depends on various image capture conditions. Colour
invariants are features designed to be robust with respect to these confounding factors. Image
compression, which is typically applied to most images in use, leads to both processing
overheads but also to a small but noticeable drop in retrieval performance. To address these
problems, they have developed image retrieval techniques that operate directly in the
compressed domain, yet provide better retrieval performance than many standard CBIR
techniques finally, they look at browsing systems as an alternative approach to dealing with
large image databases. The scalable face image retrieval with identity-based and
multi-references [10] overcome the problem of inverted indexing as they are high-dimensional
and global and thus not scalable in either computational or storage cost. They aim to build a
scalable face image retrieval system. For this purpose, they develop a new scalable face
representation using both local and global features. In the indexing stage, it exploits special
properties of faces to design new component-based local features, which are subsequently
quantized into visual words using a novel identity-based quantization scheme. They also use a
very small Hamming signature (40 bytes) to encode the discriminative global feature for each
face. In the retrieval stage, candidate images are first retrieved from the inverted index of visual
words. They then use a new multi-reference distance to re-rank the candidate images using the
Hamming signature. The detecting and aligning faces by image retrieval [11] gives the solution
to overcome the problem of traditional face detection methods due to the large variation in
facial appearances, as well as occlusion and clutter. In order to overcome these challenges, it
presents a novel and robust exemplar-based face detector that integrates image retrieval and
discriminative learning. A large database of faces with bounding rectangles and facial
landmark locations is collected, and simple discriminative classifiers are learned from each of
them. A voting-based method is then proposed to let these classifiers cast votes on the test
image through an efficient image retrieval technique. By using this method, faces can be very
efficiently detected by selecting the modes from the voting maps, without resorting to
exhaustive sliding window-style scanning.
III. PROPOSED METHOD
The proposed method achieves the better extraction of images and reduces the errors
while extracting the images. The two orthogonal methods are used in order to achieve strong
detection, i.e. Attribute-enhanced sparse coding and attribute-embedded inverted indexing. The

Attribute-enhanced sparse coding exploits the global structure of feature space and uses several
important query features combined with low-level features to construct semantic code words in
the offline stage. On the other hand, attribute-embedded inverted indexing locally considers
features of the designated query image in a binary signature and provides efficient retrieval of
images. Using these it reduces the quantization error and achieve salient gains in face retrieval.
The following are the functions performed in the proposed method:
1. Combining high-level extracted features and low-level features.
2. To balance global representations in image collections and locally embedded facial
characteristics.
3. Two orthogonal methods are used ie Attribute-enhanced sparse coding and
attribute-embedded inverted indexing to utilize human attributes to improve
content-based face image retrieval under a scalable framework.
A) System Overview
System architecture is a generic discipline to handle objects called “systems” in a way
that supports reasoning about the structural properties of these objects.
Figure 1 shows the Architectural design which combines both query and database
images which will go through the same procedures including face detection, facial landmark
detection, face alignment, attribute detection, and LBP feature extraction. Attribute-enhanced
sparse coding is used to find sparse code words of database images globally in the offline stage.
Code words of the query image are combined locally with binary attribute signature to traverse
the attribute-embedded inverted index and derive real-time ranking results over database
images. This method reduces the quantization error and achieves salient gains in face retrieval.
Hence by using these methods, it not only reduces the errors and achieve better extraction of
images but also improves content-based face image retrieval in which the retrieval results are
not very satisfactory.

B) Content-based image search
Content-based image retrieval (CBIR), also known as query by image content (QBIC)
and CBVIR is the application of computer vision techniques the image retrieval problem that
is, the problem of searching for digital images in large databases. Traditional content-based
face image retrieval techniques use image contents like color, texture and gradient to represent
images. To deal with large-scale data, mainly two kinds of Indexing systems are used, mainly
inverted indexing or hash-based indexing combined with bag-of-word model and many local
features, to achieve efficient similarity search. Although these methods can achieve high
precision on rigid object retrieval, they suffer from low recall problem due to the semantic gap.
The semantic gap can be bridged by finding semantic image representations to improve the
CBIR performance. The idea of this work is simple, instead of using extra information that
might require intensive human annotations (and tagging), the face features can be used to
construct semantic code words for the face image retrieval task can be used
C) Attribute based search:
Attribute detection has adequate quality on many different face features. Using these
face features, promising results can be achieved in different applications such as face
verification, face identification, keyword-based face image retrieval, and similar attribute
search. The Attribute based search includes two techniques i.e. Attribute-enhanced sparse
coding and attribute-embedded inverted indexing. Attribute-enhanced sparse coding exploits
the global structure of feature space and uses several important extracted features combined
with low-level features to construct semantic codeword in the offline stage. On the other hand,
attribute-embedded inverted indexing locally considers extracted features of the designated
query image in a binary signature and provides efficient retrieval of images.
D) Face Image Retrieval
The facial image retrieval gives the solution for the problem of similar facial images
searching and retrieval in the search space of the facial images by integrating content-based
image retrieval (CBIR) techniques and face recognition techniques, with the semantic
description of the facial image. The aim is to reduce the semantic gap between high level query
requirement and low level facial features of the human face image such that the system can be
ready to meet human nature way and needs in description and retrieval of facial image.
The figure 2 shows the system flow diagram which describes how the control flow is
drawn from one operation to another or the flow of control from one step to the other. Firstly it
starts with the user input ie image entered by the user. Next the pre-processing step is done for
the query image this stage includes three operations i.e. generating of sparse code, generating of
local binary pattern and comparing the images present in the data base. Once the pre-processing
stage is done it just have to compare the features of the image extracted, with the images present
in the data base, as indicated in the figure this result in the accurate extraction of the similar
images present in the database. As shown in the below figure. Finally the ranking result is
displayed to the user. It is basically a flow chart to represent the flow from one activity to
another activity i.e. how the process is carried out in system. The activity can be described as an
operation of the system so this flow can be sequential, branched or concurrent.

IV. IMPLEMENTATION
In order to set the database, the images are browsed from the drives consisting of
different image formats. Next the face features of the browsed image such as eyes, nose, mouth
and face should be extracted. Once the features is extracted the attributes of the face such as
colour of the hair, age, races, region and other identifiable details are marked for the better
identification of images and finally local binary pattern (lbp) is applied for the face features in
which it labels the pixels of an image by thresholding the 3-by-3 neighbourhood of each pixel
with the centre pixel value and considering the result as a binary number. Finally the data base
is set. Next for the extraction process the query image is loaded by the user and the attributes of
the image is entered by the user for the better extraction. This process can be done for the
number of images stored in the database. The matched query image features and the database
images are finally extracted and displayed as the ranking result.
V. PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
The performance of the proposed method is more efficient than the existing systems
because in the proposed method the images are extracted based on the face features and the
attributes of the image entered by the user, which results in accurate extraction of the images
and also the two orthogonal methods are combined which results in improving of content-based
face image retrieval. Hence the efficient extraction of images can be achieved using the
proposed method. Firstly the pre-processing step extracts the features of the query image which
is entered by the user; once the pre-processing step is done it just matches the extracted image
features with the images present in the database. Hence the proposed method reduces the
quantization error and achieves salient gains in face retrieval.

VI. CONCLUSION
The proposed method provides an efficient retrieval of images and also reduces the
quantization error and achieves better extraction of the images. Attribute-enhanced sparse
coding exploits the global structure and uses several face features to construct semantic-aware
code words in the offline stage. Attribute-embedded inverted indexing further considers the
local attribute signature of the query image and still ensures efficient retrieval of images.
