Of the available huge data set, multimedia is one which contains diverse data such as audio, video, image, text and motion, and such video data play a vital role in the field of video data mining. For extracting information from this huge content, we need special techniques. Because of numerous devices like cell phones, tablets, and other electronic devices available today, we can upload images or video data very easily. Today information comes in the form of electronic information instead of text information. Most of the information like news, entertainment, books, healthcare and weather forecasts are in the electronic form. Among this information the acquisition and storage of video data is an easy task, but retrieval of information from video data is challenging. This paper brings some of these issues and challenges involved in image extraction using data mining techniques. January - March 2016 Copyright © 2016 i-manager publications.
