TL;DR
This paper provides an overview of current research in image information retrieval and provides an outline of areas for future research, which is broad and interdisciplinary and focuses on three aspects of image research (IR): text-based retrieval, content- based retrieval, and user interactions with image information retrieved systems.
Abstract
An international association advancing the multidisciplinary study of informing systems. Founded in 1998, the Informing Science Institute (ISI) is a global community of academics shaping the future of informing science.

ComputerQuery by image and video content: the QBIC system
3,058 Citations1995Myron Flickner, Harpreet Sawhney +10 more
The QBIC system is described and its query capabilities are demonstrated, which allows queries on large image and video databases based on example images, user-constructed sketches and drawings, selected color and texture patterns, camera and object motion, and other graphical information.
Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE<title>Virage image search engine: an open framework for image management</title>
781 Citations1996Jeffrey R. Bach, Charles E Fuller +6 more
The Virage engine provides an open framework for developers to 'plug-in' primitives to solve specific image management problems and can be utilized to address high-level problems as well, such as automatic, unsupervised keyword assignment, or image classification.

Cataloging & Classification QuarterlyAnalyzing the Subject of a Picture: A Theoretical Approach
393 Citations1986Sara Shatford
A theoretical basis for identifying and classifying the kinds of subjects a picture may have is suggested, using previously developed principles of cataloging and classification, and concepts taken from the philosophy of art, from meaning in language, and from visual perception are suggested.

Multimedia SystemsNeTra: A toolbox for navigating large image databases
348 Citations1999Wei‐Ying Ma, B.S. Manjunath
An implementation of NeTra, a prototype image retrieval system that uses color, texture, shape and spatial location information in segmented image regions to search and retrieve similar regions from the database, is presented.
Multimedia Tools and ApplicationsContent-based representation and retrieval of visual media: A state-of-the-art review
286 Citations1996Philippe Aigrain, Hao Zhang +1 more
This paper reviews a number of recently available techniques in content analysis of visual media and their application to the indexing, retrieval, abstracting, relevance assessment, interactive perception, annotation and re-use of visual documents.
Region-based image querying
263 Citations1997Chad Carson, Serge Belongie +2 more
A new image representation is presented which provides a transformation from the raw pixel data to a small set of localized coherent regions in color and texture space based on segmentation using the expectation-maximization algorithm on combined color andtexture features.
Journal of Information ScienceAnalysis of user need in image archives
248 Citations1997Linda H. Armitage, Peter Enser
The project demonstrates the possibility of formulating a general categorisation of requests which seek widely different still and moving image material, and the potential value of embedding such a schema within the user interface of unmediated-query visual information retrieval systems.
Journal of Visual Communication and Image RepresentationReview of Image and Video Indexing Techniques
247 Citations1997Fayez M. Idris, S. Panchanathan
A critical survey of existing literature on content-based indexing techniques is provided to point out the relative advantages and disadvantages of each approach.

193 Citations1994Sara Shatford Layne
Lecture notes in computer scienceFinding pictures of objects in large collections of images
164 Citations1996David Forsyth, Jitendra Malik +6 more
The approach to object recognition is described, which is structured around a sequence of increasingly specialized grouping activities that assemble coherent regions of image that can be shown to satisfy increasingly stringent constraints.
New Review of Hypermedia and MultimediaThe image retrieval task: implications for the design and evaluation of image databases
131 Citations1997Raya Fidel
A review of studies about searching behaviour in image retrieval suggests that retrieval tasks may affect searching behaviour, and characteristics suggest that relevance feedback may not be useful for tasks on the Objects Pole.

In this article, the four major approaches to art historical scholarship are defined and one of those four approaches-iconography-is targeted in this discussion because it supports iconographical research collections.

Query by image content using multiple objects and multiple features: user interface issues
27 Citations2002D. Lee, Ronald Barber +4 more
The authors have developed a prototype system called QBIC which allows complex multi-object and multi-feature queries of large image databases and its user interface allows a user to graphically pose and refine queries based on multiple visual properties of images and their objects.

Evaluation of text-based and image-based representations for moving image documents
12 Citations1997Abby Goodrum
A model for the representation of moving images based upon human judgements of representativeness is developed, measuring the degree of congruence between moving image documents and their representations, both text and image based, in a non-retrieval environment with and without task constraints.
