Effects of Visual Concept-based Post-retrieval Clustering in ImageCLEFphoto 2008
نویسندگان
چکیده
We examined the effectiveness of post-retrieval clustering that was based on the visual similarities among images to enhance the instance recall in the photo retrieval task of ImageCLEF 2008. The visual similarities are defined by the example visual concepts that were provided for the automatic photo indexing task. We tested two types of visual concepts and two kinds of clustering methods, hierarchical and modified k-means clustering. In all the runs, we used only the title fields in the search topics; we used either only the title fields or both the title and description fields of the annotations in English. The experimental results showed that hierarchical clustering can enhance instance recall while preserving the precision when certain parameters are appropriately set.

MMIS at ImageCLEF 2008: Experiments combining Different Evidence Sources
This paper presents the work of the MMIS group at ImageCLEF 2008. The results for three tasks are presented: Visual Concept Detection Task (VCDT), ImageCLEFphoto and ImageCLEFwiki. We combine image annotations, CBIR, textual relevance and a geographic filter using our generic data fusion method. We also compare methods for BRF and clustering. Our top performing method in the VCDT enhances super...

ImageCLEFphoto 2008 is an ad-hoc photo retrieval task and part of the ImageCLEF evaluation campaign. This task provides both the resources and the framework necessary to perform comparative laboratory-style evaluation of visual information retrieval systems. In 2008, the evaluation task concentrated on promoting diversity within the top 20 results from a multilingual image collection. This new ...

In this paper we describe the participation of TELECOM ParisTech in the ImageClefphoto 2008 challenge. This edition focuses on promoting diversity in the results produced by the retrieval systems. Given the high level semantic content of the topics, search engines based solely on text or visual descriptors are unlikely to offer satisfactory results. Our system uses several text and visual descr...
متن کاملUsing Visual Concepts and Fast Visual Diversity to Improve Image Retrieval
In this article, we focus our efforts (i) on the study of how to automatically extract and exploit visual concepts and (ii) on fast visual diversity. First, in the Visual Concept Detection Task (VCDT), we look at the mutual exclusion and implication relations between VCDT concepts in order to improve the automatic image annotation by Forest of Fuzzy Decision Trees (FFDTs). Second, in the ImageC...

This paper presents our participation at the ImageCLEFPhoto 2008 task. We submitted six runs, experimenting with our own block-based visual retrieval as well as with query expansion. The results we obtained show that despite the poor performance of the visual and text retrieval components, good results can be obtained through Pseudo-relevance feedback and the fusion of the results.
