Abstract
Images have always been considered an effective medium for presenting visual data in numerous applications ranging from industry to academia. Consequently, managing and indexing of images become essential in order to retrieve relevant images effectively and efficiently. Therefore, the proposed chapter aims to elaborate one of the advanced concepts of image processing, i.e., Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) and image feature extraction using advanced methods known as radial moments. In this chapter, various radial moments are discussed with their properties. Besides, performance measures and various similarity measures are elaborated in depth. The performance of radial moments is evaluated through an extensive set of experiments on benchmark databases such as Kimia-99, MPEG-7, COIL-100, etc.
