Image Searching Tool Using Category-Based Indexing

Searching for an object in a general image collection using current image retrieval systems, is still a problem. The retrieval results contain many unrelated images. In providing an effective and robust image database, objects in an image need to be extracted. Since the number of stored images can be very large, automation is an important aspect.

The aim of this research is to propose a new object based indexing system based on extracting salient region representative from the image and categorising an image into different types
