Abstract
Image retrieval is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing research issues in the field of multimedia technology. This paper proposes a new method that performs search the relevant images by using query-by-example. The proposed method for search and retrieval of images utilizes the location information where the image had been taken. The system associates the photo images with their corresponding GPS coordinates that are used as metadata for searching. Experimental results show that the proposed method demonstrates better performance improving up to 59% of average recall and 49% of average precision. Moreover, we learned from the experimental results geo-location information embedded within the image header is more effective and positive on the search and storage.
