Fraunhofer FIRST's Submission to ImageCLEF2009 Photo Annotation Task: Non-sparse Multiple Kernel Learning
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order to achieve good performance in image annotation tasks, it is necessary to combine information from various image features. In our submission, we applied the nonsparse multiple kernel learning for feature combination proposed by Kloft et al.(2009) to the ImageCLEF2009 photo annotation data. Since some of the concepts of the ImageCLEF task are rather abstract, we conjectured that color histograms are informative for some categories such as sky and snow. Therefore we tried pyramid histograms of pixel colors. Since the images are not aligned, we sorted histograms at different places, when computing similarity of two images. Short description of our methods will be presented and obtained results will be discussed in this manuscript.

In this paper we present details on the joint submission of TU Berlin and Fraunhofer FIRST to the ImageCLEF 2011 Photo Annotation Task. We sought to experiment with extensions of Bag-of-Words (BoW) models at several levels and to apply several kernel-based learning methods recently developed in our group. For classifier training we used non-sparse multiple kernel learning (MKL) and an efficient...

In order to achieve good performance in image annotation tasks, it is necessary to combine information from various image features. In recent competitions on photo annotation, many groups employed the bag-of-words (BoW) representations based on the SIFT descriptors over various color channels. In fact, it has been observed that adding other less informative features to the standard BoW degrades...
متن کاملInsights from Classifying Visual Concepts with Multiple Kernel Learning
Combining information from various image features has become a standard technique in concept recognition tasks. However, the optimal way of fusing the resulting kernel functions is usually unknown in practical applications. Multiple kernel learning (MKL) techniques allow to determine an optimal linear combination of such similarity matrices. Classical approaches to MKL promote sparse mixtures. ...

In object classification tasks from digital photographs, multiple categories are considered for annotation. Some of these visual concepts may have semantic relations and can appear simultaneously in images. Although taxonomical relations and co-occurrence structures between object categories have been studied, it is not easy to use such information to enhance performance of object classificatio...

This paper presents the participation of the Fraunhofer IDMT in the ImageCLEF 2011 Photo Annotation Task. Our approach is focused on text-based features and strategies to combine visual and textual information. First, we apply a pre-processing step on the provided Flickr tags to reduce noise. For each concept, tf-idf values per tag are computed and used to construct a text-based descriptor. Sec...
