FIRE in ImageCLEF 2005: Combining Content-based Image Retrieval with Textual Information Retrieval
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper the methods we used in the 2005 ImageCLEF content-based image retrieval evaluation are described. For the medical retrieval task, we combined several low-level image features with textual information retrieval. Combining these two information sources, clear improvements over the use of one of these sources alone are possible. Additionally we participated in the automatic annotation task, where our content-based image retrieval system, FIRE, was used as well as a second subimage based method for object classification. The results we achieved are very convincing. Our submissions ranked first and the third in the automatic annotation task out of a total of 44 submissions from 12 groups.

FIRE - Flexible Image Retrieval Engine: ImageCLEF 2004 Evaluation
We describe FIRE, a content-based image retrieval system, and the methods we used within this system in the ImageCLEF 2004 evaluation. In FIRE, various features are available to represent images. The diversity of available features allows the user to adapt the system to the task at hand. A weighted combination of features admits flexible query formulations and helps with processing specific que...
متن کاملCombining Textual and Visual Features for Image Retrieval
This paper presents the approaches used by the MIRACLE team to image retrieval at ImageCLEF 2005. Text-based and content-based techniques have been tested, along with combination of both types of methods to improve image retrieval. The text-based experiments defined this year try to use semantic information sources, like thesaurus with semantic data or text structure. On the other hand, content...

This paper presents the image retrieval techniques tested by the MIRACLE (Multilingual Information RetrievAl for the CLEf campaign) research group as part of the ImageCLEF 2004 initiative. Two main lines of research continuing the past year's experiments were considered: the application of linguistic techniques to improve retrieval performance and the combination of textual and content-based im...
متن کاملThe ImageCLEF Medical Retrieval Task at ICPR 2010 - Information Fusion to Combine Visual and Textual Information
An increasing number of clinicians, researchers, educators and patients routinely search for medical information on the Internet as well as in image archives. However, image retrieval is far less understood and developed than text–based search. The ImageCLEF medical image retrieval task is an international benchmark that enables researchers to assess and compare techniques for medical image ret...
متن کاملCombining Textual and Visual Information for Image Retrieval in the Medical Domain
In this article we have assembled the experience obtained from our participation in the imageCLEF evaluation task over the past two years. Exploitation on the use of linear combinations for image retrieval has been attempted by combining visual and textual sources of images. From our experiments we conclude that a mixed retrieval technique that applies both textual and visual retrieval in an in...
