	abstract =	{The paper presents a review of 200 references in
	content-based image retrieval. The paper starts with discussing the
	working conditions of content-based retrieval: patterns of use, types
	of pictures, the role of semantics, and the sensory gap. Subsequent
	sections discuss computational steps for image retrieval systems. Step
	one of the review is image processing for retrieval sorted by color,
	texture, and local geometry. Features for retrieval are discussed next,
	sorted by: accumulative and global features, salient points, object and
	shape features, signs, and structural combinations thereof. Similarity
	of pictures and objects in pictures is reviewed for each of the feature
	types, in close connection to the types and means of feedback the user
	of the systems is capable of giving by interaction. We briefly discuss
	aspects of system engineering: databases, system architecture, and
	evaluation. In the concluding section, we present our view on: the
	driving force of the field, the heritage from computer vision, the
	influence on computer vision, the role of similarity and of
	interaction, the need for databases, the problem of evaluation, and the
	role of the semantic gap.},
