Out of many existing systems ROTATION INVARIANT CONTENT-BASED IMAGE RETRIEVAL SYSTEM is the most efficient and accurate one. Effective texture feature is an essential component in any CBIR system. In the past, spectral features like Gabor and Wavelet have shown superior retrieval performance than many other statistical and structural based features. Recent researches on multi-resolution analysis have found that curvelet captures texture properties like curves, lines and edges more accurately than Gabor filters. However, the texture feature extracted using curvelet transform is not rotation invariant. This can degrade its retrieval performance significantly, especially in cases where there are many similar images with different orientations. We analyses the curvelet transform and derives a useful approach to extract rotation invariant curvelet features. The new system which uses curvelet transform for extracting texture features includes rotation invariant.

Input: An image name with its features like shape, color, texture etc

Process:
The process is simple and efficient; we divided our system into two modules. They are: Module-1 (Constructing a Database): For each and every image we can extract texture, shape and color features of an image, perform clustering and store it in a database by using cell arrays.

Extracting Color Features using HSI Color Space. Extracting Texture Features using Curvelets (Rotation Invariant). Extracting Shape Features using Fourier Descriptors. Form a feature vector consists of all features. Perform clustering based on texture features for fast retrieving

Module-2 (Compare image features and Display similar images): Take an input image, extract the features, compare the features with the stored features in a database and display the relevant images. Finally we calculate efficiency of the system using precision and Recall. Take a query image from the user which is to be searched. Extract Color, Texture and Shape Features of an input image.

Compare the extracting features with the features of all images that are stored in a database using some Distance measures.

Display all images that are similar to the given input image. Calculate efficiency of the system by using Precision and Recall.

Output: It display the image that matches the features of the given input.
