Content-based image retrieval with skin tones and shapes using Ant colony optimization
Introduction:
Due to the enormous pool of image data, a plenty of data to be sort out has lead the way for analyzing and dig up the data to acquire likely worthwhile information. Heterogeneous fields cover from commercial to military desire to inspect data in a systematic and quick manner. Outstandingly in the area of interactive media, images have the stronghold. There is no sufficient tools are available for examination of images. One of the points at issue is the effective pinpointing of features in the likeness and the other one is extracting them.
NEED AND IMPORTANCE OF RESEACH PROBLEM
Current techniques in image retrieval and classification concentrate on content-based techniques. It seek survey the contents of the image rather than thedata about datasuch as keywords, label or properties corresponding with the image. The term “content” refer to shades, appearance, textures, or any other particulars that can be obtained from the image itself. CBIR with skin tones is advisable because most net-based image search engines rely purely on metadata and this turn out a lot of waste in the results.Thus a system that can sifter images rest on their content with additional property i.e., skin tone would serve better list and return more specific outcomes. Various systems like the QBIC, Retrieval Ware and Photo Book etc., have a variety of attributes, still used in distinct discipline. The color features integrated with shape for classification, the color and texture for retrieval. There is no single feature which is ample; and, moreover, a single representation of characteristics is also not enough. Sonith et al.[1996] describes a fully automated content – based image query systems. Ioloni et al. [1998] describes image retrieval by color semantics with incomplete knowledge. Mori et al. [1999] have applied dynamic programming technique for function approximated shape representation. Chang et al. [2001] describes information driven framework for image. Mira et al. [2002] describes fact content based image retrieval using Qusi – Gabir filler Vincent et al. [2007] have developed a fully automated content based image query system. Heraw et al. [2008] describes image retrieval will an enhanced multi modeling ontology. Taba et al. [2009] have used mining association rules for the feature matrin.
OBJECTIVES
Moreover, speed changes in industry and databases influencing our view and understanding of the problem over time and demanding alter in problem decoding approach. Consequently, further research is required in this field to develop algorithms for pick out images with skin tone and shapes, able to cope with ongoing technological changes.

Investigation of effective images with skin tone and shapes based on pixel algorithms
Extracting them based on optimization algorithms.
Developing computational algorithms in extracting the images.

The main objective is to study the Image Identification and Optimistic method of Image Extraction for Image Mining using Ant colony optimization .ACO, good solutions to a given optimization problem. To achieve this main objective, the goals are formulated as follows:

To Study the Image Mining Techniques.
To Explore the Approaches used in Selecting the Images
To Explore the Extracting of the Features.
To apply the powerful Techniques.
To Analyze the Experimental Results.
To Study the Optimization Techniques.
To bring down calculation and taking out time.

Work Plan:
I will begin my research work by investigating different methodologies available in the literature and measure their applicability in different perspectives for common benefit. After that, I prefer to limit my research interest down from general to even more specific under the guidance of designated supervisor in the course so that it fits into university doctoral program curriculum. The research tasks are grouped year wise as follows.
Year-1:
Literature survey on various methods to get an idea of pattern matching, shapes and classification.
Implementation of algorithms in order to gauge their applicability and scalability.
Mathematical modelling of Ant colony Optimization considering new objectives and constraints existing in Image processing.
Submission of a paper to a major conference
Develop a detailed research proposal and give oral defense to get full registration of the course
Year-2
Continue and refine the mathematical model to make the problem more actual
Develop single objective optimization algorithms for effective extraction of Images.
Start to develop multi objective optimization algorithms for extraction by considering large scale optimization and classification
Submission of two papers to international conference and journals
Year-3:
Implementation of developed algorithms for analysis of images and optimization problems
Submission of a paper to a major journal
Completing a thesis based on the PhD project
Taking part in active research groups.
Publication of research work.
