Here are the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Image and Video Retrieval, CIVR 2006, held in Singapore in July 2006. Presents 18 revised full papers and 30 poster papers, together with extended abstracts of 5 papers of 1 special session and those of 10 demonstration papers. These cover interactive image and video retrieval, semantic image retrieval, visual feature analysis, learning and classification, image and video retrieval metrics, and machine tagging.
