Abstract of the Survey Article:
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 paper, we survey about 200 key theoretical
and empirical contributions in the current decade related to image retrieval and automatic image
annotation, and discuss the spawning of related sub-fields in the process. Results of a thorough
study on the recent publication trends in the field are reported. 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 finally conjecture
what the future may hold for image retrieval research.
