Retrieval of color images has become an important application in recent years. We make a concise analysis of methodologies for interactive retrieval of color images. Two issues are of importance. First, the domain, which can be broad or narrow. Second, the search method, which can be object search, target search, category search or associative search. On the basis of these, we give complete guidelines for choosing and designing methods for interactive color image retrieval based on the domain and search goal characteristics.
