This document outlines a presentation on content-based image retrieval (CBIR). It discusses the motivation for CBIR by describing limitations of text-based image retrieval, such as problems with image annotation, human perception, and queries that cannot be described with text. CBIR allows images to be retrieved based on automatically extracted visual features like color, texture, and histograms. A typical CBIR system extracts image features and then matches features to find visually similar images. Applications of CBIR include crime prevention, security, medical diagnosis, and intellectual property. The conclusion states that CBIR reduces computation time and increases user interaction compared to other methods.
