Color Histograms in Image Embedding and Retrieval

Browsing, searching, and retrieving images has never been easy. Traditionally, many technologies relied on manually appending metadata to images and searching via this metadata. This approach works for datasets with high-quality annotation, but most datasets are too large for manual annotation.

That means any large image dataset must rely on Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR). Search with CBIR focuses on comparing the content of an image rather than its metadata. Content can be color, shapes, textures – or with some of the latest advances in ML — the “human meaning” behind an image.
