Abstract

We have witnessed great interest and a wealth of promise in content-based image retrieval as an emerging technology. While the last decade laid foundation to such promise, it also paved the way for a large number of new techniques and systems, got many new people involved, and triggered stronger association of weakly related fields. In this article, we survey almost 300 key theoretical and empirical contributions in the current decade related to image retrieval and automatic image annotation, and in the process discuss the spawning of related subfields. We also discuss significant challenges involved in the adaptation of existing image retrieval techniques to build systems that can be useful in the real world. In retrospect of what has been achieved so far, we also conjecture what the future may hold for image retrieval research.

Content-based image retrieval: approaches and trends of the new age
MIR '05: Proceedings of the 7th ACM SIGMM international workshop on Multimedia information retrieval

The last decade has witnessed great interest in research on content-based image retrieval. This has paved the way for a large number of new techniques and systems, and a growing interest in associated fields to support such systems. Likewise, digital ...

Image retrieval based on bag of images
ICIP'09: Proceedings of the 16th IEEE international conference on Image processing

Conventional relevance feedback schemes may not be suitable to all practical applications of content-based image retrieval (CBIR), since most ordinary users would like to complete their search in a single interaction, especially on the web search. In ...

Content-based image retrieval by clustering
MIR '03: Proceedings of the 5th ACM SIGMM international workshop on Multimedia information retrieval

In a typical content-based image retrieval (CBIR) system, query results are a set of images sorted by feature similarities with respect to the query. However, images with high feature similarities to the query may be very different from the query in ...
