A Review on Personalized Tag based Image based Search Engines

Abstract

The development of social media based on Web 2.0, amounts of images and videos spring up everywhere on the Internet. This phenomenon has brought great challenges to multimedia storage, indexing and retrieval. Generally speaking, tag-based image search is more commonly used in social media than content based image retrieval and content understanding. Thanks to the low relevance and diversity performance of initial retrieval results, the ranking problem in the tag-based image retrieval has gained researchers� wide attention. We will review some of techniques proposed by different authors for image retrieval in this paper.
