1. INTRODUCTION
Image retrieval is a key issue of user concern. Normal way of image retrieval is the text based
image retrieval technique (TBIR)[12]. TBIR-needs rich semantic textual description of web
images .This technique is popular but needs very specific description of the query which is
tedious and not always possible.
Therefore generally the process of image search includes searching of image based on keyword
typed. The process that occurs in the background is not so simple though.
When query is entered in the search box for searching the image, it is forwarded to the server that
is connected to the internet. The server gets the URL’s of the images based on the tagging of the
textual word from the internet and sends them back to the client.

Figure 1.
The search engine thus navigates through the pages and collects the images. It gives the client the
top ranked image which is the one with maximum number of hits from the user and a set of
images. This is the technique of text based image retrieval system.
But it has certain drawbacks like images obtained are many a time duplicated, of low precision,
and irrelevant. This scenario may occur due to sparse and noisy textual query. Due to this aspect
user cannot be always sure of perfect images being obtained in available time. Many a times user
has to surf many pages of images available to land at the perfect one. This possesses a great threat
to the fast technology. Such problems surface when user needs large dat
to these factors of complexity, "image harvesting and retrieval" is a topic which is gaining
popularity in research sector.
What can be done in this respect is as follows

2. Use highly efficient clustering algorithm to facilitate grouping of similar images and select
perfect among them.
3. Use contents of image rather than url tagging to retrieve images from internet database
4. Use various concepts in combination to get an excellent image retrieval system.
The above mentioned factors are reviewed throughout this paper and different details and aspects
are put forward for comparison. Each method has certain limitations but trade off between them

2. LITERATURE SURVEY
Figure 2. Architecture of image harvesting and re-ranking system [10]
From the architecture diagram (Fig. 2) [10] an overview is obtained. Each module observed in the
figure is a complex module having own ways of implementation and understanding. Exclusive
factors of Digital image are used.
The large image collection is subjected to feature extraction process where the attributes of the
image both visual such as color, texture and shape and semantic such as intentional, clicks, labels
etc. are extracted from the feature database using appropriate methods. The query image can be
any of the popular formats. The query image is subjected to feature extraction process and query
features are obtained. In similarity measurement process, the query’s feature is compared with the
features stored in feature database. The distance between the two features is calculated and
weights are determined. The output images are then sorted and ranked, so that most similar
images can be displayed to the user. This system is based on the following functionalities and
features:
a) Extraction
(i) Visual features
If the entered query is "sunset", color should be the considered feature as color is the primary
identifier. For "building" shape as a feature rather than color is appropriate. Whereas, for "snow"
if color and shape is considered then differentiation between "snow" and "cotton" would become
difficult for the system. Thus, texture will become the primary identifier for "snow" and not
colour or shape.

(ii) Semantic features
Semantics is the actual intention of the user behind the query. This intention cannot be interpreted
by the machine, resulting in the semantic gap. For instance, if the entered query is "ford", user
may intend for a car or a person named "Ford". But system
semantic. Thus, to reduce the semantic gap, semantic feature need to be considered.
b) Distance calculation and similarity measurement:
This step calculates the difference between the images in terms of corresponding featur
the distance, more similar the images are. For example, if the entered query is “lake” and the
selected feature is color. The images are plotted in feature space and distance between them is
calculated. The images that lie closer in this space ar

Feature extraction will be compulsorily followed by distance calculation and similarity
measurement. As mentioned in [5], for CBIR implementation, image classification should be fast
and efficient.
In this context if visual features are considered as features to be extracted then low level
histogram representation is most efficient as histogram is a model of probability distribution of
intensity levels of visual features. Also its generation is quick as well as easy for comparison.
If semantic features are considered satellite image retrival system (SIRS) [8] is a good approach.
Understanding of semantic features and their extraction require data and knowledge exchange.
[8] proposes use of xml for data exchange and use of web ontology language for knowledge
exchange. Semantic knowledge is described using rule based expert system, neural network,
decision trees etc. In relation to this concept, ontology refers to expressing elements of domain as
well as intended meaning of element. Query "ford" mentioned above is an example needing
implementation of ontology.
c) The core architecture can be extended to Re-rank the images based on various parameters. The
techniques for image retrieval and re-ranking may differ in feature extraction algorithms, score
calculation methods, and score matching algorithms and re-ranking algorithms individually or in
combination. This paper is a review work considering the above parameters through a detailed
study of related domain specific features.
A simple and thinking friendly way to start with is Content based image retrieval (CBIR)
technique [1].
2.1. Overview of CBIR
This concept emphasises on use of visual content of image like colour, texture, shape etc. for
image comparison and retrieval rather than textual query. In common words, visual feature of any
image is anything that is seen or felt about that image. It includes any visual variation in the look
of that image.
These contents are then extracted from images in the database and are described by multi-
dimensional vectors. The feature vectors of the images in database form the feature database. To
retrieve images, users provide the retrieval system with example images or sketched figures. The
system then converts them into internal representation of feature vectors. The similarities
/distances between the feature vectors of the query example or sketch provided and those of the
images in the database are calculated and then retrieval is performed. Under this work various
factors defining the concerned visual contents are described in details.
Retrieved images will need comparison based on various features. Comparison based on their
appearance is one approach named as "appearance based image matching" [12]. It works using
the basis of parts and shapes of image. But this concept is not widely in application because its
time complexity is very high as each image retrieved from the database is matched with the
desired image. So finally, clustering is found to be the solution for this problem.

2.2. Bag based Image Re-ranking
Clustering means grouping similar images together and comparing or matching among clusters
instead of individual images. This will reduce the concerned time complexity to a great extent.
cluster of similar images containing most of the relevant images is called positive bag and the bag
containing least relevant images related to query is labelled as negative bag. This way of
clustering is derived from the theory of Generalized Multi
called as bag based image re-ranking. Diverse clustering algorithms are available with varying
degree of success based on domain requirement. The task following bags formation is removal of
irrelevant images and re-ranking th

2.4. Active Re-ranking
Active re-ranking is the re-ranking with user interactions. Figure [9] depicts the flow of active re
ranking technique for the query "panda". It involves active sample selection in which user labels
the images as relevant or irrelevant. The images seen in
the user labelled relevant images. This step is followed by dimension reduction [9] which
localizes visual features. Iterative applications of above steps leads to proper result.

Some assumptions for clustering and re-ranking of images are mentioned. [13]

Visually similar images should be ranked nearby.
But these assumptions have following deficiencies-
They make visual similarity equal to similarity of relevance to query. This means similar

Figure 6. Framework for active re-ranking illustrated with the query “panda”. When the query is
submitted, the text-based image search engine returns a coarse result (a). Then the active re-
ranking process is adopted to obtain a more satisfactory result (b), by learning the user’s
intention. [9]
The above explained techniques use single feature for re-ranking, but the type of most effective
features vary across queries, as elaborated above under the topic extraction of visual features.
Thus, employing multimodal features (color, texture, edge)[14] is a solution.
Figure7. Illustrates multimodal graph-based learning.[14]

In this approach, graphs are constructed each for one modality. Later the result of each modality
is fused based on the relevance scores and based on it, the

3. CONCLUSION
Basic thing reviewed from this survey of available image retrieval and re-ranking techniques is
that the text-based image retrieval is not sufficient for obtaining precise images for a given query.
Thus techniques based on CBIR are found to be more vibrant and are likely to be adopted for
such applications. Most of the earlier techniques used only visual features and didn’t capture
users’ intentions. To bridge this semantic gap, method like active re-ranking has been proposed.
Multi-modal graph based and circular re-ranking techniques proposed in recent years capture
more than one feature of image for more accurate re-ranking results. These methods do not
always compete but can complement each other.
The domain of image harvesting, retrieval and re-ranking offers a vast scope for exploration as
well as innovation. This survey will prove to be beneficial to gain overview of the work done in
this field.
