Content-Based Image Retrieval for Tourism Application Using Handheld Devices

This paper proposed a scenario for using a CBIR (Content-Based Image Retrieval) system in tourism application. Several CBIR algorithms are studied and applied for the proposed scenario. An image database specialized for this application is made to be used for the study purpose. The performance of applied methods were evaluated and compared based on known measures. Among the studied CBIR methods, two algorithms perform better for this application.
