Abstract: Content Based Image Retrieval is an interesting topic of research. This paper is about image content-based image search. Specifically, it is on developing technologies for bridging the semantic gap that currently prevents wide-deployment of image content-based search engines. Mostly, content-based methods are based on low-level descriptions, while high-level or semantic descriptions are beyond current capabilities. In this paper a CBIR is proposed based on color & texture based search. Modified Block Truncation Coding (MBTC) is used for color information retrieval. To extract texture information we are using pattern generated by transforms, currently we are considering Kekre Transform. The feature vector is generated by fusion of above mentioned techniques.
