abstract = {More and more images have been generated in digital form
around the world. There is a growing interest in finding images in
large collections or from remote databases. In order to find an image,
the image has to be described or represented by certain features. Shape
is an important visual feature of an image. Searching for images using
shape features has attracted much attention. There are many shape
representation and description techniques in the literature. In this
paper, we classify and review these important techniques. We examine
implementation procedures for each technique and discuss its advantages
and disadvantages. Some recent research results are also included and
discussed in this paper. Finally, we identify some promising techniques
for image retrieval according to standard principles.},
