Research into techniques for the retrieval of images by semantic content is still in its infancy. This paper reviews recent trends in the "eld, distinguishing four separate lines of activity: automatic scene analysis, model-based and statistical approaches to object classi"cation, and adaptive learning from user feedback. It compares the strengths and weaknesses of model-based and adaptive techniques, and argues that further advances in the "eld are likely to involve the increasing use of techniques from the "eld of arti"cial intelligence.
