Learning efficient options illustrations and equivalency metric measures are imperative to the searching performance of a content-based image retrieval (CBIR) machine. Despite in depth analysis efforts for many years, it remains one amongst the foremost difficult open issues that significantly hinders the success of real- world CBIR systems. The key issue has been associated to the commonly known “linguistic gap” problem that exists between low-level image pixels captured by machines and high-level linguistics ideas perceived by humans. Among varied techniques, machine learning has been actively investigated as a potential direction to bridge the linguistics gap in the long run. Motivated by recent success of deep learning techniques for computer vision and other applications, In this paper, we'll conceive to address an open problem: if deep learning could be a hope for bridging the linguistics gap in CBIR and the way a lot of enhancements in CBIR tasks may be achieved by exploring the progressive deep learning methodologies for learning options illustrations and equivalency measures. Speci?cally, we'll investigate a framework of deep learning with application to CBIR tasks with an extensive set of empirical studies by examining a progressive deep learning technique (Convolutional Neural Networks) for CBIR tasks in varied settings. From our empirical studies, we found some encouraging results and summarized some vital insights for future analysis. CBIR tasks may be achieved by exploring the progressive deep learning techniques for learning options illustrations and equivalency measures.
