A Survey in Need of Image Mining Techniques

Abstract: Increasing use of World Wide Web and communication channels like mobile networking has increased the number of images used throughout the world. Continuing advancements in both hardware and software coupled with higher end image processing and image vision tools, have made it possible to store huge amount of images. This increase in number of images and image databases has necessiated the need for image mining techniques. Image mining is an extended branch of data mining that is concerned with the process of knowledge discovery concerning digital images. The main aim of this paper is to present a survey of the various techniques used for image mining applications like image retrieval, Matching, Pattern recognition given by different researchers.

Keywords: Image mining, Data mining, Feature extraction, image matching, image retrieval.
