An Image Retrieval System Based on Parallel Architecture

How to quickly find image that user needed. It is important to build an index to image database. It is possible to retrieve images from database using a unique identification defined by a human operator as an index to images, but it is more reasonable to index images based on their contents. The principle of Content-Based Image Retrieval system is to retrieve images based on the content of the images. One of the important components in the system is to extract the visual features of the images for performing more abstract analysis. However, some of these features are computationally expensive. To solve this issue, a flexible Distributed parallel architecture has been proposed to improve the extraction time for the system. This architecture will also provide the software system with the flexibility of adding and removing any visual features from the system.
