Abstract:
The last detailed review of Content-based Image Retrieval Systems (CBIRS) is that from Veltkamp and Tanase [VT02], updated in 2002. Since then, many new systems emerged, other systems were improved, but many systems are no longer supported. This paper reconsiders the systems described by Veltkamp and Tanase and proposes in addition for a selection of existing CBIRS a quantitative comparison.
