Definition

Image mining is synonymous to data mining concept. It is important to first understand the data mining concept prior to image mining. Data mining is a set of techniques used in an automated approach to exhaustively explore and establish relationships in very large datasets. It is the process of analyzing large sets of domain‐specific data and subsequently extracting information and knowledge in a form of new relationships, patterns, or clusters for the decision‐making process [1]. Data mining applications are of three-level application architecture. These layers include applications, approaches, and algorithms and models [2]. The approaches of data mining are association, sequence-based analysis, clustering, estimation, classification, etc. Algorithms and models are then developed based on the dataset type to perform the data mining. At that...
