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
paper, we survey almost 300 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. 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.},
