Abstract

The research in Content-based image retrieval is developing rapidly. It benefits many other fields, in particular the medical field as the need of having a better way of managing andretrieving digital images has increased.The aim of the thesis is to investigate performance of descriptors of blood cell image retrieval. In this process traditional wavelet based and global color histogram is investigated. The prototype system allows user to search by providing a query image and selecting one of four implemented methods. Research goal is enhancing current content-based image retrieval techniques. Results were obtained by experimenting to this proposed method is able to perform clinically relevant queries on image databases without user supervision.
