In such types gigantic image corpus it is hardly to find the relevant images. Different researchers have defined techniques to retrieve images with high accuracy but still not cope in the semantic gap and lexical ambiguity. This paper focused on short query expansion i.e. expands user query with ConceptNet and WordNet knowledge bases. It retrieved the images, even if they are labeled with different words. The experiments showed the performance of this proposed algorithm, that retrieves images effectively and efficiently from LabelMe dataset. © 2012 IEEE. %Z cited By 2; Conference of 2012 International Conference on Computer and Information Science, ICCIS 2012 - A Conference of World Engineering, Science and Technology Congress, ESTCON 2012 ; Conference Date: 12 June 2012 Through 14 June 2012; Conference Code:93334
