Consolidating the ImageCLEF Medical Task Test Collection: 2005-2007
نویسندگان
چکیده
The goal of the ImageCLEF medical image retrieval task (ImageCLEFmed) has been to improve understanding and system capability in search for medical images. This has been done by developing a test collection that allows system-oriented evaluation of medical image retrieval systems. From 2005-2007, test collections were developed and used for ImageCLEFmed. This paper describes our recent work consolidating the test collections into a single unified collection of 66,662 images and their annotations; 85 topics classified by amenability to visual, textual, or mixed retrieval methods; and relevance judgments. This will provide a comprehensive test collection for further testing of systems and algorithms in medical image retrieval..
