This paper investigates retrieval and indexing schemes in pixel domain, and points to the future work on image retrieval schemes. Image retrieval schemes generate indices for images in pixel or compressed domain based on their features in the corresponding domain. These indices are used to retrieve images from a database. The features in pixel domain are extracted from the color, shape or texture characteristics of images. The application of these three methods depends on the characteristic of the image database, and the query image. In the near future the image databases contains the compressed version of images, therefore there will be a high demand for the image retrieval techniques in compressed domain.
