Google’s image search and photo album implements such as image search, Google’s Picasa project applications in general gregarious networking environment, the hunt for practical, efficacious image search in the web context. Our application provides the color based image retrieval, utilizing features like dominant color. The color features are obtained through wavelet transformation and color histogram and the amalgamation of these features is robust to scaling and translation of objects in an image. The proposed system has established a promising and more expeditious retrieval method on a input image database containing more general-purpose color images. The performance has been analysed by estimating with the subsisting systems in the literature.


INTRODUCTION
Color Image databases and accumulations can be gargantuan in size, containing hundreds, thousands or even millions of color images. The conventional method of color image retrieval is probing for a keyword that would match the descriptive keyword assigned to the image by a human categorizer. Currently under development, albeit several systems subsist, is the retrieval of images based on their content, called CBIR. While computationally expensive, the results are far more precise than conventional image indexing. Hence, there subsists a trade-off between precision and computational price. This trade-off decreases as more efficient algorithms are utilized and incremented computational power becomes inexpensive. This is not CBIR, In CBIR, each image which is retrieved from the database has its features obtained and compared to the features of the query image.

IMAGE RETRIEVAL
The process of browsing, searching and fetching image from a large database of digital image. CBIR used 2 approaches for retrieving the image from the image database.

A. TEXT BASED APPROACH (INDEX IMAGES USING
KEYWORDS) It deals with searching images from a vast database fulfilling a user specified criterion. queries are texts and targets are images. Text based method used the keywords descriptions as a input and get the desired output in the form of similar types of images.

B. CONTENT-BASEDAPPROACH (INDEX IMAGES USING
IMAGES) Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) uses visual information of the images to retrieve them from large image databases according to user's interest. Content based approach using image as an input query and it generate the output of similar types of images.

There are 4 algorithms in the CBIR A. Content based image retrieval. B. Current content-based image retrieval. C. Content based visual information retrieval. D. Color based retrieval.

A. Content based image retrieval
It is a technique for retrieving images on the basis of automatically derived features such as color, texture, and shape. It's also known as query by image content (QBIC).

B. Current content-based image retrieval
Most subsisting platforms for retrieving images based on image content implement algorithms that extract a Page: 1152 coalescence of shape, texture and shape features from an image.

C. Content based visual information retrieval
The application of computer vision to the image retrieval problem, that the problem of searching for digital images in large database.

D. Color based retrieval
Most used color code will be obtained by extracting color code from input image. The average color code is declared as most used color in the input image.

PROPOSED METHOD
The solution initially proposed was to extract the primitive features of a query color image and compare them to those of database color images. The image features under consideration of dominant / dominant color. Query Image will be converted Image Matrix We have developed customized algorithm in C# which will obtained the dominant color in an image. The dominant color algorithm is used for determining the overall tone of an image. This algorithm is very simple and there are probably more involutes and hence, better color algorithms out there.
The dominant color is obtained by analysing every pixel in the image. For each pixel, our application will keep track of 3 values: the red ratio, the green ratio, and the blue ratio (RGB). In our project we won't consider the alpha i.e. transparency. Hence, we analyse each pixel; our application will emerged color which is considered as dominant color.
Maintain an average of the entire red ratio, all the green ratio, and the entire blue ratio. Analysing the entire image, our application will predict most.

QUERY FORMATION
The beginning of image retrieval, a user expresses his or her imaginary intention into some concrete visual query. The quality of the query has a significant impact on the retrieval results. Fig.1. The general framework of content-based image retrieval The modules above and below the green dashed line are in the off-line stage and on-line stage, respectively. In this paper, we focus the discussion on five components, i.e., query formation, image representation, database indexing, image scoring, and search reranking.

EXPERIMENTAL RESULT RETRIEVAL FUSION
An image can be represented by different features, based on which different methods can be designed for retrieval. If the retrieval results of different methods are complementary to each other, they can be fused to obtain better results.
