Multi-level Image Annotation Using Bayes Classifier and Fuzzy Knowledge Representation Scheme
نویسندگان
چکیده
Automatic image annotation (AIA) is the process by which metadata, in form of keywords or text descriptions are automatically assigned to an unlabeled image. Generally, two problems can be distinguished: the problem of semantic extraction, due to the gap between the image features and object labels, and the problem of semantic interpretation, due to the gap between the object labels and the human interpretation of images. In this paper, a model for multi-level image annotation that is performed in two phases is proposed. In the first phase, a Naïve Bayes classifier is used to classify low-level image features into elementary classes. In the second phase, a knowledge representation scheme based on Fuzzy Petri Net is used to expand the level of vocabulary and to include multi-level semantic concepts related to images into image annotations. In the paper, a knowledge representation scheme for outdoor image annotation is given. Procedures for determining concepts related to an image using fuzzy recognition and inheritance algorithms on a knowledge representation scheme are presented, as well as experimental results of image annotation. Key-Words: Multi-level Image Annotation, Fuzzy Petri Net, Knowledge Representation, Naïve Bayes

Low- and High-level Image Annotation Using Fuzzy Petri Net Knowledge Representation Scheme
In order to exploit the massive image information and to handle overload, techniques for analyzing image content to facilitate indexing and retrieval of images have emerged. In this paper, a low-level and high-level image semantic annotation based on Fuzzy Petri Net is presented. Knowledge scheme is used to define more general and complex semantic concepts and their relations in the context of ...
متن کاملAutomatic image annotation refinement using fuzzy inference algorithms
Facilitating tasks such as image search is one of the goals of image annotation methods that automatically assign keywords to images. In order to achieve as accurate annotation on object level as possible, and to reduce negative influence of misclassified objects on the inference of scenes, a knowledge based refinement of object classification results is proposed. A fuzzy knowledge representati...
متن کاملTags Re-ranking Using Multi-level Features in Automatic Image Annotation
Automatic image annotation is a process in which computer systems automatically assign the textual tags related with visual content to a query image. In most cases, inappropriate tags generated by the users as well as the images without any tags among the challenges available in this field have a negative effect on the query's result. In this paper, a new method is presented for automatic image...
متن کاملA knowledge-based multi-layered image annotation system
Major challenge in automatic image annotation is bridging the semantic gap between the computable lowlevel image features and the human-like interpretation of images. The interpretation includes concepts on different levels of abstraction that cannot be simply mapped to features but require additional reasoning with general and domain-specific knowledge. The problem is even more complex since k...
متن کاملStatistical modeling and conceptualization of natural images
Multi-level annotation of images is a promising solution to enable semantic image retrieval by using various keywords at different semantic levels. In this paper, we propose a multi-level approach to interpret and annotate the semantics of natural images by using both the dominant image components and the relevant semantic image concepts. In contrast to the well-known image-based and region-bas...
