Reverse Image Search Engine using Compact Composite Descriptor

With the massive growth of World Wide Web people are able to gain the access to massive amount of information. This information may contain data, images, flow charts, logos, maps etc. However locating and finding the relevant information is always a difficult task. A lot of textual-based search engines are available, but there are very rare image search engines through which desired images can be searched from the pool of images available on the web. Hence there is a need of such a image search engine using which the related and exact images can be searched. Reverse image search is such a content-based image retrieval query technique that involves providing the CBIR system with a sample image that it will then base its search upon. Reverse image search can be used to search either data related to the query image or the images related to that image or exact images.
