Features in Content-based Image Retrieval Systems: a Survey

This article provides a framework to describe and compare content-based image retrieval systems. Sixteen contemporary systems are described in detail, in terms of the following technical aspects: querying, relevance feedback, result presentation, features, and matching. For a total of 44 systems we list the features that are used. Of these systems, 35 use any kind of color features, 28 use texture, and only 25 use shape features.
