Alaa. M. Riad, Hamdy. K. Elminir, Sameh. Abd-Elghany . A Literature Review of Image Retrieval based On Semantic Concept. International Journal of Computer Applications. 40, 11 ( December 2012), 12-19. DOI=10.5120/5008-7327
This paper attempts to provide a comprehensive review and characterize the problem of the semantic gap that is the key problem of content-based image retrieval and the current attempts in high-level semantic-based image retrieval being made to bridge it. Major recent publications are included in this review covering different aspects of the research in the area of high-level semantic features. In this paper the different methods of image retrieval systems are described and major categories of the state-of-the-art techniques in narrowing down the ‘semantic gap’ are presented. Finally, based on existing technologies and the demand from real-world applications, a few promising future research directions are suggested.
