Content-based image retrieval systems (CBIR) are used to catalog, scan, download and access image databases automatically. Color & texture features are significant properties for content-based image recovery systems. The content-based image retrieval (CBIR) is therefore an attractive source of accurate and quick retrieval. Number of techniques has been established in recent years to improve the performance of CBIR. This paper discusses why CBIR is important nowadays along with the limitations and benefits. Apart from applications, various feature extraction techniques used in CBIR are also discussed.
